I think people don't like Tate because he is a straight line runner. He doesn't make too many moves or try to be flashy, which is probably what the coaches like about him. While he may not make the big play, he rarely doesn't set you up with average field position. Guys who make spectacular returns often lose 5 on their other returns... So it's up to the coach to get a return guy that fits their style. Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll, they want big plays, the go for Barner and Lockette. Marvin Lewis, he plays field position, he goes Tate. Just a coaches preference if you ask me. AND if Marvin wants flash he just throws Adam Jones in there... its pretty smart actually.
