--His exposure to the NFL did not last long for quarterback Drew Tate. An undrafted free agent, Tate spent the team's rookie minicamp breaking in a new pair of shoes, while taking virtually all of the snaps during two days of work because he was the only quarterback.

The arrival of veterans Marc Bulger, Gus Frerotte and Ryan Fitzpatrick left him doing little during OTAs, and the week culminated with his departure when the Rams signed Brock Berlin to be the fourth quarterback on the roster.

"They told me I was the only one here for the first four practices," Tate said during the rookie camp. "I figured it was going to be a lot, I just didn't know it would be this much."

Now, he will be looking for somewhere else to throw.

--QB Brock Berlin, the latest addition to the Rams' roster, had been cut recently by the Cowboys.

Berlin began his career, after playing at the University of Miami, with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2005. After being released by the Dolphins, he was re-signed in January, 2006, and allocated to NFL Europe.

Once again, he was cut in training camp. The Cowboys signed him just before the draft, then released him May 11.

Sounds like poor Tate got used and abused. (like the saying goes.) wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

So are the new shoes broken in or what?

At least he lasted more than 12 minutes...?

I wish him the best. Hopefully he learned something here that he can take with him.
