I don't want to be a spoiler, but I will say I was annoyed with how they used him in Infinity Wars.

I have acquaintances with a couple of Fla St. Alumni, who are close with the football program there. They commented that Tate was a good kid, really no off field issues that stands out for a guy his age in Tallahassee, but the reason for his free fall during the draft was probably attributed to his interviews during the combine. He apparently for some teams had a poor understanding of offensive schemes or diagnosing plays for his position. He made plays purely on athletic talent alone in college, but his understanding of his position responsibility as the issue. Really don't understand that issue, since he has played 3 years in ACC ball. Yes his 40 time was poor, but he caught everything during the field drills. Personally, I felt he would be awesome in the red zone, as he has a huge catch radius and an underappreciated way of using his body to block DBs during contested catches. I could care less about his speed in the redzone.

Really hoping Bengals try to sneak him on the PS, and allow us to sign him.

He reminds me a lot of Chris Carter. And he got to the HOF just by 'catching touchdowns'!

We will have to zoom in on him when we are beating the bungles twice.:logo:

I think his physical game will get him on the field early, and then we'll see.

I think ark has "hmmphed or been hmmphed" by many here and he needs a small break to let his "Hmmph" rest a little.

NEWSKarl Dunbar: Joshua Frazier Was Wally Pipped Out Of Starting Job At Alabama

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping that they added a real plugger into the middle of their defense in the seventh round in Alabama defensive tackle Joshua Frazier. Why the seventh round? Well, for one thing, he wasn’t even a starter at the college level—though that wasn’t entirely his fault.

Part of the blame actually goes to his position coach, Karl Dunbar, who coaches him at Alabama for the past two years. One of the first questions Dunbar was asked about Frazier is why he didn’t start. “He didn’t start many games because of Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, A’Shawn Robinson, Da’Shawn Hand, Isaiah Buggs, they’ve got couple more kids that are still at Alabama”, the Steelers’ defensive line coach said.

There are a bunch of high draft picks in that group. The Crimson Tide produce a lot of top talent for the National Football League. Frazier is coming in hoping to carve out a niche backup role. He played well when he did play at Alabama, which is of course what got him drafted.

“He was a five-star kid out of Arkansas. He played a lot his freshman year until he got hurt”, Dunbar said of Frazier. “The second year, that’s when Da’Ron Payne came in and took over that job. It’s the luck of the draw sometimes when you go to a team that has a lot of talent. It’s almost like what some people say, the Wally Pip story. He took a day off and never got his job back”.

But the way that he handled his taking a back seat is a credit to him; had he not handled it well, the Steelers with his former position coach wouldn’t be drafting him. And Frazier seemed to say the right things about that topic when asked.

“I have no regrets. Things turned out the way they did”, he said of his career with the Crimson Tide and how it quickly went from being a prized recruit to being a role player on a deeply talented defensive line. “Payne is Payne in his own right, but I feel like I have some of the same traits that he brings to the table. Once I got out there I took advantage of my opportunities and it helped me get to this point right now, and I’m just ready for this new chapter in my life”.

He was asked about whether or not his demeanor in handling that role was likely a part of the reason his former coach helped to bring him in (Frazier also said another one of his former coaches, on the Detroit Lions’ staff, was hoping to land him).

“Yes sir”, he said of Dunbar’s appreciation of his attitude. “Again, he taught me so much and that’s why he trusted me in games. When I went out there to do my thing, he trusted me to do my job and that’s what I did”.

As predicted this was a throw away pick. The Steelers did find Matt Thomas though. A free agent find.

Comments like this is why people come at you. You need to somehow grow a extra hand so you can pat yourself on the back continiously.

So is anyone shocked a last round pick doesn't make a roster?

None of your predictions have been earth shattering despite what you tell yourself.

Shocking I know that he didn't stick. Shocking indeed and you and you alone called it. Pure genius I say.
 
Cowboys sent their 2nd round pick in 2016 to the Raiders for Jihad Ward ... then cut him. Along with Bo Scarborough.
Crackboys only have two RBs on roster now.

Coach needs to ******* keep his day job. But his comment about Troy’s head being too big will I’ve in infamy though. That was a classic never to be forgotten on this site.

Oh I’m right on Berry too :).

Didn’t like the Landry Jones either

I called 11-5. If Tomlin fails to win a playoff game this season I hope to be right they will fire him.

Wake me when Bell reports.

If you are right about Berry, then why is he still on the roster?

Oh, and I called a 7th rounder making a roster on draft day. What's Frazier doing?
