Let's Pretend We Are Coaches

However, in the event that he doesn't pan out, based upon the injury, and the semi-negative practice report, at West Carrollton HS, I read on Bengals website, and assuming Boyd continues on his path and steps into the #2 slot, behind Green, who do you see filling in Boyd's spot in the slot?

Burkhead, Wright, Tate, Core, Kumerow, Alford, someone else?  Why?

I believe Tate would get the #2 role if LaFell can't go due to Lewis' mentality about rookies, but not expecting much from him and he will eventually yield the spot.

When we were injury riddled at receiver in 2014 Tate was essentially a non-factor despite getting some starts. Not sure why we'd expect a different result in 2016.

Personally, I feel we'd be better off throwing Core and Boyd into the fire early so that they'll have a season under their belts by playoff time.
