Brandon Tate

How many times did you cringe when you saw him ramp up and run out of the end zone when he was so deep in it? Very rarely did it equate to something good.

I for one am glad he's gone, his contribution wasn't anything this team will miss this season.

My sentiments exactly.

Good luck to the Bengal who has received the most unwarranted hate over the last 5 years. He's a super solid return guy. Hopefully he gets a chance elsewhere.

AJ Green
Lafell???  Havent seen him make a catch..  that's pretty important for WRs
Boyd
Core
Erikson
????????????  James wright?  I know they are high on him for STs but haven't seen much from him on the field.  and dude is a huge injury risk.

That's a whole lot of No experience in the NFL right there. unless they are looking to pick up a WR I probly would have kept tate over Wright. At least ive seen tate make some nice catches on offense. All ive seen Wright do is go to IR.
Before he got his injury the coaches were gonna make him receiver number 4 they love wright and he was coming on strong as a possession

From Marvin's press conference today:

I fully expect Tate to come back at some point. Perhaps becoming our new Chris Crocker.

You could be right, but

1. I doubt he'll last long. He'll be picked up by someone.
2. I hope we don't need him. Fingers crossed.

I just don't understand how the coaches could make this decision. How do you let Brandon Tate go? The dude was MONEY in the punt return game! Not to mention he was really nice! But more importantly He caught EVERYTHING. The kicker out kicked the coverage? Brandon would catch it and take it 9.2 yards. The return team sets up the return lanes perfectly? Tate catches the football with ease and blisters the opposing team to the tune of 9.2 yards. Not blocked so well? 9.2 yards. Defender in his face? No big deal, fair catch secured. Have these coaches never heard of the tortoise and the hare? What's next cutting Andy Dalton and firing Marvin Lewis? (<---looking good right now with this ridiculous decision)

And who is this Alex Erickson? So what if he's  promising addition to this team. I simply can't trust a guy that spells Erickson with a C and a K. What is this team coming to?

What other way do you spell it?

Anything would be better than a C and a K. That's like following a Q with a U when spelling quiet!

This shouldn't have been moved and merged as this is about the coaching staff botching things. Whole new topic. The decision to merge this rivals the bad decision coaches made today! I'm sick to my stomach!

I just realize how many catches Tate has secured in games (many many) and how many Erickson has secured in real games with the ones bearing down on him..(zero). I would have been happier to keep Tate in reserve and cut LaFell, who has shown us nothing as of yet.

I agree.  I am concerned that LaFell has not been targeted much.  I want to see more from him in the next preseason game.

We all know Tate will get picked up by a team and run back a punt for a TD against us.

Yep.  Rep.

I really hope that someone can take over and fill his role seamlessly, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Tater Crusader crowd says, "I told you so!" to the Tater Hater crew at some point this season.
