ML: Tate was on the practice squad for a reason

And it obviously does. If you're going to say that "His involvement in the offense is what it is. It’s a guy whose been on the practice squad for a reason. OK? So, he’s been a free agent for all 32 to take a look at. You see what I’m saying? So. Yeah. It is what it is. Not many times you’re going to take a guy off the practice squad and go win an NFL game with.” but start Hardy Nickerson who has been dreadful and has ALSO come off the practice squad is a little confusing there.

Yes. Nickerson only started in 2 games in 2017. And no one is arguing that Tate should start. We're arguing he should be given opportunities like Core has been given.
Difference is, Core has dropped critical passes. Yes, the 4th down comes to mind, but remember his drops in Pittsburgh? Or how abysmal he was in 2017?

Nickerson was brought back from the PS three separate times and still played 158 snaps on defense and 271 on special teams.
Nickerson had 40 less snaps on defense than Kevin Minter after being put on the practice squad three times in 2017


Auden Tate has 8 snaps all year long.

So yeah. Think using Nickerson, a guy who was promoted from the PS three separate times, played that many games/snaps, and STARTED in two games is a pretty decent way to counter his point.

Damn right! On ALL of it! Merv's so full of shit, the whites of his eyes are turning brown.
