Not high on this move. I didn't expect Willis to make the final roster, but I would have expected that he be kept around on the practice squad. Especially with this crazy season to be...

Where did Tate's QB rank?

This staff can talk guys up and say everything PC to the media all they want, as long as they do the right thing and cut said players when they aren’t playing up to par. Lord knows I was sick and tired of Paul Alexander and Co doing the exact opposite back in the day

He had shitty, backup QBs throwing last year and if it wasn't for the 20 circus catches he was forced to make, his catch percentage would have been much lower.

I’ve never seen someone SO talked up by the coaching staff only to disappear and then get waived the next preseason. This whole situation really gets me worried about how this coaching staff evaluated players. Let’s hope it was an anomaly and not the norm under ZT. Tells me that DeMarkus Lodge is making the PS.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

A lot of WR's in this league struggle when they are young only to go on and have good careers. Tate may never be a #1, but I think as a 4th or 5th WR, he is a great guy to have on the team and is no Binns. Binns never shined when thr lights cam on (real games).
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Tate by all.accounts looks quicker off the LOS.lets be real.
He was.a.raw prospect out FSU.Never asked to run a full route Tree. Look.you are either getting better or worse or staying the same Tate is moving the needle.up. Marvin buried him now he is rising

I'm still surprised anyone feels the need to bash Tate. The man puts in a full days work, and it shows. He is consistently improving, is a huge mismatch for DB's, and can move the chains with regularity. What's to hate?

Haven't heard about guys making plays against Bell. Plus, going off practice reports, the days the D seems to win are the days the DL dominates. It's going to be even harder to judge with Alexander out along with Waynes. The WR's may just be feasting on the backups.

Nice post, BTW watching the TC report yesterday showed me a lot. Saw some great play from Geno, Reader, Hubbard and a lot of our O-line as well. Jonah looked great, XSF, Adeniji, XSF, Trey Hop all looked good. Tee was playing ST's snaps surprisingly as a Returner with Gio. Jordan looked good until he faced Geno who was unblockable, same with Kareem who just beat Fred Johnson like a drum.

Damion wasn't unemployed long. He is heading up I-71 to Cleveland who picked up via waivers
Winning makes believers of us all

Why did you stop at 40 catches? Tate's catch % last season was 50%, 80 targets and 40 catches. Which happens to the same catch percentage as John Ross, 56 targets and 28 catches. All other WRs, TEs and RBs had better catch percentages, save for Stanley Morgan, who caught a mere 30% of his 10 targets.
