Hobson reports Tate will be cut so they can keep Core.

you are if you cannot catch the ball. Good hands are big and being bigger than the players in the Secondary helps.

Auden Tate was being praised by AJ Green for his redzone skills. Guess he doesn't know what he is talking about
either. Being tall and being able to jump are not just Tate's skills, it is his timing and the way he maneuvers in the
air that makes it rare. Core does not have this skill and i always was big on Core.

You sound to be overrating Core's skills.

Being able to go up, adjust your body in mid air and catch a ball with your arms extended, is not a common quality in many NFL receivers, and yes, Tate has that ability in spades.

If it is such a big deal then why aren't the WRs with the most tds all 6-5+ leapers?

Last year 6 WRs had at least 9 td catches.  Look at their heights.

D. Hopkins (13 td), 6-1
D Adams (10), 6-1
A Brown (9), 5-10
J Landry (9) 5-11
M Jones (9) 6-2
A Jeffrey(9) 6-3

Why are you focusing just on jumping? If that was the only criteria, why not sign NBA players? It's not as simple as just jumping.

Timing
Body control
Fighting contact
and doing all that while trying to catch a football

Why are we still going on. Tate made the team. Let’s move on. The Bengals obviously thought having a 6th Wr that is 605 is a move worth doing.

They are better paid than NFL players, so you're never going to see a guy jump ship like that.

With that said, football coaches do seem to go after former basketball players quite a bit...

I know. It was just a silly reply to a silly post.

I don't know why but I've really been pulling for the guy. I just have this gut feeling the guy is gonna develop into a possession/redzone weapon that will make us very dangerous ! AJ, Eifert, Boyd, Mixon, Tate all on field at the 5.

Thats what i'm talkin' bout. Rock On

They already released Brian Hill, I'm sure they'll easily let go Tate.  Sad

So true Rfaulk, there is a lot that goes into this skill set.

AJ does though of course who is another tall receiver that Fred coincidently leaves out of his posts.

That would be the sensible thing to do.  But nobody ever said we were sensible.

Again though, if he was as amazing a target as people on this board thinks dont you think his stats would indicate that? They simply dont and he has showed nothing in actual games to prove he's going to be an unstoppable touchdown machine. Fingers crossed I'm proved wrong though!

Key ST players can play a dozen snaps.

I am not saying Core is a great WR, but Tate is a little over rated around here.  Seems like every year fans fall for a rookie WR "beast" who was either a late pick or undrafted.

They never go to other teams and become good players.

I saw last year's WR who could be Randy Moss block a punt in the cfl recently .

He def has a long way to go to be a reliable target but the talent is there to refine.

Well Tate fans your wet dream is primed and ready for launch.. What Mike Brown hasn't told Bengals fans is he's signed your mothers to wake you all up in the 4th quarter of every game to ask just want you're doing under those blankets .

Yeah, right, Tate is as tall as A J so they are the same.
