August 30, 201610 yr He really, really wants to celebrate. :lol2: We are all guilty, I missed your thread but I am blaming the one minute thingy from the time I looked until I had enough time to pull the thread together.
August 30, 201610 yr Author We are all guilty, I missed your thread but I am blaming the one minute thingy from the time I looked until I had enough time to pull the thread together. It's funny though because we both put Hellbird celebrating in our Thread title and Hellbird started one also.
August 30, 201610 yr It's funny though because we both put Hellbird celebrating in our Thread title and Hellbird started one also. Just remember me when Peko gets cut next year.
August 30, 201610 yr We will easily find somebody else to complain about regarding the Bengals. Marvin Lewis, Dalton, and Mike Brown are all targets from the past.
August 30, 201610 yr Brandon Tate has 2 young kids playing in the NKYFL (Union Raiders). He's a great guy and a great dad. Poor decision by the Bengals, an organization plagued with character issues.
August 30, 201610 yr Brandon Tate has 2 young kids playing in the NKYFL (Union Raiders). He's a great guy and a great dad. Poor decision by the Bengals, an organization plagued with character issues. I don't think anyone questions what an awesome guy Brandon Tate is but he lacks big play ability and that is why he is out. Granted Tate has been consistent and I wish him nothing but the best but I don't see how this is a poor decision by the Bengals. And if it is a poor decision by the Bengals then Tate will have numerous visits lined up immediately.

And if it is a poor decision by the Bengals then Tate will have numerous visits lined up immediately. Don't take it from me. Just read the quotes from his teammates. They are not happy about the decision. Both Whit and A Jones were pretty vocal about how bad of a move it was, which is rare. I don't disagree that he had some limitations, but he was a solid backup WR and was a sure handed punt returner. In addition, he was a special teams leader and (as mentioned) a stand-up guy in our community. I'm sure he'll get picked up somewhere soon. It's just a shame to lose such a high quality person from a team known for having more than their share of degenerates.
August 30, 201610 yr Put me in the camp that thinks it was a great decision... I'm quite certain that Erickson will make some boneheaded rookie mistakes... However, he has huge upside. All you had to do was watch that kid hit a hole without hesitation time after time.. He will probably fumble, fair catch when he shouldn't and return when he should fair catch... But I think he'll learn quickly from those mistakes and he can certainly break a few long returns that can change games in an instant... And from what I've seen and heard, he's also a good character kid... It's not like they're replacing Tate with a thug.

Never been a big fan of Whit and I would love to tell everyone about another Pacman fight I know about but we talkin' Bout Tate.
August 30, 201610 yr Just remember me when Peko gets cut next year. I've been preaching like you about Peko for 3 years now. We'll both buy each other a beer when that happens

August 30, 201610 yr Now I never had an issue with Tate as a backup WR, my issue with him was always returning punts. The straw that broke the camels back with me was a few years ago when he fields a punt in the end zone and does his usual 5 yard return.
August 30, 201610 yr Hard to not keep Erikson. These are probably tough with good guys like BT. The guy did nothing spectacular most of the time, but he was dependable. This guy earned his keep.
