It's still disgraceful. I would not be able to look at myself in the mirror were I these reserves.

Does Kumerow even make the practice squad?

And a lot of those mirrors they are looking in will be in their own homes far away from the team after they get cut.

I think he has a solid chance to make team, most of his returns have been against 2nd teamers but I have been impressed and he has made some catches.. I see him sticking over Wright. I see AJ LaFell, Boyd, Tate, Core and Erickson now as our 6 WRs

Wasn't he returning kicks against first stringers early in the game?

Still has looked way better than Wenning. All QB's throw picks.

They should move on from Tate IMO. But they won't.

With Peerman lost for the year, we may keep 3 rb's and 7 receivers.

I don't think we have anybody who can make up for his absence on special teams.

Backups (Oline) still not quite over primetime curse.

This second string o-line is getting pushed around. If any of them want to make an NFL team, they better hit the gym.

Tate has outplayed others for the 5/6 spot so he has earned the spot.. also with Peerman out for a while, Tates value has went up on special teams, I rather keep him than have some 6th WR on the bench and ineffective on special teams.

Has Westerman been playing?
Everything in this post is my fault.

The Tate hate is real, c'mon people he has out performed most of the others for the 5/6th spot...

We will never be rid of his poor return game until he is gone from this team.

Regardless of his return game he's performed pretty well at the WR position

I have no doubt they will keep him. His adequate preseason play doesn't make up for average to below average returning during the regular season. And if Jones is out long, we won't have an explosive returner at all unless we keep Erickson.

And another primetime embarrassment is in the books. Doesn't matter if it's preseason - the fact that it was primetime should be been the needed extra impetus not to get beat by a bad team.

with first cuts on Tuesday and all of our injuries it will be tough to hold some starters out of the 4th preseason game
Winning makes believers of us all
