They are probably one of the most physical sets of corners they will face. We saw what Ward was able to do with Green being very physical with him. I want the most sure-handed receivers out there to move the chains and prevent turnovers. Seems like a simple formula, but a lot of that ability with Tate is heightened because of Burrow's accuracy. We have heard for years how Brady makes all the weapons around him better, and we are seeing the exact same thing now from Burrow.
Think about it. How many of us would have predicted the statistics he is projecting to achieve with a declining Green, Boyd, Higgins, Tate, Gio, and Sample as his top targets. He hasn't had Mixon for two games now, Uzo is out for the season, and Ross never materialized. He is basically doing it with Boyd, a rookie, Tate, and his RBs. I won't even get in to the performance of his line.
Well Tate is sure handed, so I think he will be active especially after that last game. Tate still has to make circus catches just cause
he gets blanketed at times, Burrow still puts it in the right spot pretty much all the time unlike the QB play from last year.
What Burrow has done just blows my mind with everything you listed that has gone on. One thing Tate brings is he helps out the QB
and can make catches no matter what the coverage is.
Speed sometimes can be overrated as we see with Ross who just doesn't get it.
I liked the interview of Boyd where he has been telling Ross, just to go to work, Boyd has that lunch pail mentality which is why he is
the best Slot Receiver in the NFL right now and will continue to be with Burrow throwing to him. Burrow and Boyd have GREAT
chemistry.
That back shoulder throw against the Titans was incredible, Burrow read Boyd's mind.
