BengalPimp Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Note: Arkansas OG Mitch Petrus ties combine all-time bench press record with 45 reps.Note: Petrus tied the mark set by great players like Mike Kudla (2006) and Leif Larson (2000).....That's Hall of Fame company right there.... Don't get me wrong, the bench press is important, but as long as the guy is on par with all the rest at his position, and not the lowest, that's all that matters....The most reps doesn't always = the best player.

derekshank Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Tate seems like Steve Smith to me. I'm not worried that he's a little short, because he knows how to get open, and he breaks arm-tackles.I'm hoping they don't draft a WR early enough to get Tate... but I won't be outraged if he's the guy they take.

He always seems to be invisable against top tier defenses. Short WR's can be very good, but I dont think that is the type of WO that Carson would like. A bigger target seems to be the right fit, for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other guys had short arms too. It is more impressive to see the long armed guy put up good numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Tate is showing good measurables. No he's not tall... but a good majority of the effective WRs recently have not been the prototypical size T.O. Randy Moss type guys.The thing I always liked most about Tate is his ability to catch a ball in traffic. He has those intangibles that makes him outwork defenders and the concentration to catch the ball while he's being hit. If the Bengals are going to draft a WR early, I'd like to see them take a guy like that who isn't just a one trick pony that runs fast down the sideline (something that Tate can also do)... but breaks tackles, fights for extra yards, knows how to get open, catches in traffic - all of that.If you're not getting a guy like that, then just wait until the 4th or 5th. You can always get a burner there, unless Oakland keeps drafting them all in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPYJAQ Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Can't help to think that Golden Tate is Laveranues Coles, version 2.0. Great Combine performance, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
