Ben Tate discontented.
-
Play better and you get the reps. It is abundantly clear that Pettine is results driven (ex: Crowell getting his carries restricted leading up to Bengals game). You play well, he gives you carries. At this point, Tate could go and I think the Browns would be just fine.

Thats my point. Its the third negative story to come out recently, basically starting crap because our guys just want to play. What the hell are they supposed to say when asked?????
mk Story #1 - Brian Hoyer prefers to sign with a team AND actually start. (Wow. trouble maker, he is)
mk Story #2 - Johnny Manziel is frustrated as second string. (Really???!!! Another "anti team" guy just thinking about himself)
mk Story #3 - Ben Tate. The FA who signed here, just so he could get a chance to start. And, now, he says he'd prefer to play. (who would have thunk it. yet another HUGE story)
Why do we KEEP signing guys who want and expect to play??? Baffles me.

I know right. Who's fucking salad is the bitch tossing at the dealer? It can't just be blowjobs or sex or anything more or less vanilla...cause she's that annoying and the fanbase hates her. The "ONLY" way she has been able to hold on to her job this long is cause she's doing something really really really dirty for someone.

Poor gal's probably a by product of her environment. Reporting on a team that hasn't done anything in so long that she has had to scratch and claw for shit to report about and get people talking.
Not only do we need to change the culture of the Browns, we need to change the culture of Mary Kay.
I say we make her Korean.

She should use more emoticons?

She threw out the bait and he foolishly bit. His answers should have been all about the 6-3 record and tops in the division and all about "team". Just dumb on his part. He can save the "real" answers for his coach to hear in private so Pettine can give him straightforward answers on what he has to do to improve that # of carries. Now that is something he can count on.
-
Honestly speaking I did not see anything particularly wrong in Tate's words. He was answering straight questions with straight answers.
The guy wants to play. Tough to say he shouldn't, he came to Cleveland as THE RB.
The guy also clearly said that the team will do anything that would help winning games. And also that is tough to argue.
With the only exception of the top 3 or 4, every RB around the league knows that he plays in the most volatile position after Kickers and Punters. And this league is more and more "what can you do for me right now".
He'll try to prove he's the best in the committee but if he goes, there'll be another one coming just like the undrafted rookie that is doing so well for us this year.

No news here. He said he wasn't satisfied with basically losing the starting RB job to a rookie... who would be?
He didn't say anything about being "discontented," but only seemed disappointed that he has not come out as the feature back. He later went on to admit that the younger guys have gotten better... Sure, he wishes he was playing more but I think he sees that West has just outplayed him. He'll have plenty of touches to shine, but he needs to make the most of them to be satisfied... That doesn't sound very newsworthy, especially not as any sort of negative...

Gotta wonder what is going on with him. He rushed for 127 yards the game he came back from injury, so we know he can do it. He just seems like his vision has been off lately, like he isn't seeing the holes because I keep seeing him run into linemen.

We can see him do it sometimes, make the read really fast and explode into it (like his last TD run). Then other times, he's waiting around for something to happen. Sometimes he makes the wrong cut, inside when he should go outside or vice versa. He needs to get on par with the baby backs, who are mostly making the right cuts and definitely exploding from their first step every play, not just the ones that give points.

In his last 51 carries he has 99 yards so I don't think he should be surprised

So now feeling like you are being underutilized is "discontent"? Holy fuck, people...
Yeah, he "took the bait"...
He came here to be the lead dog -- said the Browns told him he would be -- and now he's just one of the pack. So what can he do now that this isn't what he signed up for?
"Nothing,'' he said. "Keep working. Keep getting better every try,'' he said. "Life never pans out the way you want it to. It's a bump in the road. Keep going."
Tate, who's role has steadily declined, was careful not to come right out and directly complain about his limited role, but the message was clear: he's not happy, but he'll roll with it.
"We're winning,'' he said. "We're 6-3 and in first place, that's all that really matters.''
Is it hard to object when you're in first place in the division?
"Who would do that?'' he asked. "You'd look like the bad guy. You don't do that (laughs)''
Would he have signed here if he knew he'd be part of the backfield trio?
"I don't really want to get into that now,'' he said. "Our focus is on the Texans this week."
...for fuck's sake...

Bad case of Mack-down-itis... took down every back's YPC in case you haven't noticed.
