Griever 305 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Can't say i really blame him, being deactivated so that bum Ross can play...not to mention the team looks to be floundering with a coaching staff that is obviously in over their heads.

Jamie_B 3,443 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I like Tate alot, but if we could get a linemen on either side of the ball out of it, I'd consider it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Considering the realities of the Bengals likely record this season, it might be more realistic that they trade AJ for some future help. I wouldn't be against it.

I_C_Deadpeople 602 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 No reason why Ross, Higgins, Tate and Erickson could not all rotate as the guy sitting out. - or if Higgins needs the snaps rotate the other 3. Ross is a bust and at least Tate can be used effectively in the Red Zone. Could have used him in the last two games for those end zone jump balls Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Top 10 franchises in wins during his time here. The sad truth is that for this franchise under Mike Brown control, mediocre is actually a pretty good result. Before Marvin got here, we would have been thrilled to have a mediocre season. Our expectations have changed, but all indications are that they will return to their normal 90's state within a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claptonrocks 538 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Play the man in place of the Aged Green... I think he would catch more than 3 passes out of 13 thrown his way! Damn.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sea Ray 77 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Nothing wrong with a guy wanting to play. I think Tate will contribute to the team this season. I was wondering where he was too. He'd be a great target for Burrow, particularly now that we're down a TE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spotto 32 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 None of our WRs can get separation whilst we can't run the ball. Tate's height would help move the chains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tate may be the only one speaking up but you know the rest of the guys are watching this shit play out. What a terrible message to be sending a team struggling to find their identity.

D & O pretty much work separately, but I don't think "Employee96" and Atkins have much excitement left in them. Those are the guys that probably need to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
|SF2| 4,250 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 If we are rebuilding then why is Ross still out there? After 4 years the guy still can’t run a route or catch a pass. He has definitely lost a step which was really his only strong point. He WONT be here next year so get something for him now. Unless I see something dramatic soon from Green it is safe to say his days of being a dominant #1 are over. If he isn’t willing to reinvent himself like Steve Smith or Aquan Boldin it’s time to move on from him too. The Dalton and Marvin era are over, time to get young hungry players in here. When Jimmy Johnson went to Dallas he had to get rid of guys like Danny White, Ed Jones and Randy White. It was simply time for new leadership. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, in reality, Ross is the type that would be just as satisfied sitting on the bench drinking gatorade, getting a sweet sideline pass to watch his teammates play, and collecting an awesome NFL paycheck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course we get poor effort from almost everyone else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
