Erickson AND/OR Tate??

[grampahol]

Erickson has actually shown up on game days. He's done nothing to disqualify him from my perspective. I really think that the reason his return numbers fell off last year had more to do with return blocking (or lack of) than anything he did or didn't do. He's pretty clutch when called upon in the slot as well.  I'm not saying he'll be the primary slot guy, but he's definitely solid for slot depth. 
I have absolutely nothing against Tate other than we've seen nothing from game days as of yet. Every player has to start somewhere. If Tate can really show up big in preseason games he'll be on the 53 man roster and very likely on the field once they're inside the 20.. Being fast is nice and all, but  the first thing any receiver has to be able to do is actually catch the ball regardless of how fast or slow he is. I'll take a slower receiver who comes down with the ball every time over a burner who drops it every single time any day of the year  
Core on the other hand seems like the perennial practice squad guy who never seems to break into the big time for one reason or another, but he might surprise everyone come preseason games .
If it hadn't been for some spectacular preseason performances we probably wouldn't even be talking about Erickson..
