    There was a lot of preseason talk about changing the culture in the locker room, as in the losing defeatist culture.

    My speculation was that Mary Kay had been covering a team with a losing culture for so long that she's had to adapt. Create stories where there shouldn't be any, just to get people talking.

    She needs to adapt herself and learn how to cover a team with a winning culture. More positive stories, less feather ruffling.

    And Korean, a play on the word "culture." Didn't get it, not funny, no worries man.

    I don't know if it is due to injuries, but it seems like West and Crowell are much faster, especially hitting the hole. Tate does, so far have good ball security, and doesn't he catch well out of the backfield? Just doesn't seem to have the burst. To me, if I see Tate and then Crowell then the speed seems like night and day.

    Crow has looked most decisive and aggressive, and therefore "faster".

    West danced a lot early on, and it got him benched, but has been more decisive (and maybe aware) since returning to the line-up.

    When there's a hole/ crease Tate has hit it hard, but since Mack went down the wide zone has produced few cracks let alone creases... and it seems like more of Tate's runs have been wide.

    As for speed... coming out of college Tate was by far the fastest.

  • Mark Sessler wrote an article on NFL.com saying that Tate was "disappointed" in his amount of carries. But didn't want to complain. Why does the media look for and create controversy where there isn't any? Tate, like any other player wants the ball. What else is new. Keyshawn Johnson wrote a book titled "Throw Me The Damn Ball" in his rookie year.

    I'm sure Tate isn't having regrets about being a Brown. After all, they're in first place in a tough division, whereas the Texans aren't about to win anything in the near future.

    Tate is a gamer and a team player. Don't read anything into a silly article.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • Honestly it was his tone and demeanor as much as anything that led me to this conclusion

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Because competitors like to compete... Not justifying his bitchiness, but that's a stupid thing of you to say. I'd be worried if that was any players mindset.

    Saw that... and when the topic was discussed nothing about Tate being "discontent" was mentioned. The segment was about how Pettine has created a positive, earn-it-in-practice atmosphere.

    I agree about the receptions part. Even if the carries being split 3 ways means Tate's not going to average 20-25 carries a game, his receptions vs. TB and Cin helped and a few more could help out the deep balls to Gabe, Hawk, Cameron, Benji and Gordon

    I can't stand MKC, but as long as she stirs up controversy she's going to sell some newspapers.

  • The good news is that this Scary K Cabbage moment wont even make a ripple in the locker room.

    Shit. They've been talking about the running backs competition since training camp. Whats new here?

  • Every professional athlete competes. Every day. It's not a story, it's not discontent. It's how the job is.

    The only story would be if Tate didn't want to compete. Not being the lead dog SHOULD piss him off.. but that wouldn't be a bad thing for the locker room!

  • Is tate content with his current role? No? Then he's discontented. Sorry that terminology bugs you tour.

  • Liked the offseason Tate signing but really don't care that he's not happy. If Pettine thought he would be a game changer, he'd get the ball more.

    This isn't newsworthy, in my opinion.

    Of course he's upset. He's getting outplayed by a UDFA and a 3rd round pick. He's in a RBBC. If you can't take hold of the job, don't be surprised when you lose it.
