    espn had the topic slider on nfl today with the topic 'troubled running game in cleveland'.

    fucking idiots. same as all the others in preseason that had to (and still do to this today) look for any smoke in the manziel/hoyer debate.

    fuck 'em all, big and small.

    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.

    Most players that whine don't stickaround on their team too long. There are receptions.

    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

    what does this even mean...?

    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 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.

    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...

  • 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.

    Yes. And that's why I said 3rd rounder and don't go looking for any mistakes because you won't find them.

    Since we agree on this, I'll pretend you said 3rd round all along as well...

  • Well, Tate had a couple shots today and basically ran backwards again. Compared to the other 2 backs, he's looked really rough 3-4 games in a row now. He's had fewer opportunities. yes. But this is why.

    Wonder whats up? head case? lingering injury? just not as good? all of the above?

  • It sucks that he had to go running off with his mouth during the mini-bye week, and after a huge win no less........ That shit doesn't help the team.

  • He did not "run his mouth"... he made the gross error of answering a question compounded it by not answering a couple others.

    The first of Tate's two carries today was a 3rd and long draw out of the shotgun...

    The second and worst of Tate's two runs today was wide where we pretty much did nothing all game. He did make the second one worse by trying to run around Schwartz, who'd been blown back 3 yards by Watt.

    What running we managed was all inside the tackles today... and not out of the gun.

  • What ever label we slap on it T, it still isn't good for the team. I'm not saying he's the reason we lost by any means, but it isn't something heard out of the Broncos or Patriots locker rooms.

    By "we" I assume you mean Mary Kay... and, no, she isn't good for the team.

    I doubt that Tate's responses had any impact whatsoever in the Locker room.
