He's been super-disappointing in the RZ and he isn't that fast, but he definitely has a spot on the team as a role player and he WILL contribute, if healthy.
In Auden Tates defense, ZT is a horrible red zone play caller.
This team hasnt been good in the RZ since Lazor was OC.
ZT doesnt even know how create RZ mismatches with personel
Anybody recall the great Drew Sample getting worked
Over by Myles Jack. That doesnt happen to Tate.
Ive seen Tate make catches that not alot of WRs could not make.
Ive said all along if Tate was in a actual offense that was $$$
In the red zone, his numbers would look much better
The Chiefs, Saints, Browns come to mind.
