Coaches on either side of the ball other than 
The running backs coach Singleton and the TEs coach 

I dont even think Bicknell is all that as a WRs coach.
See Higgins and Boyd were really coached up coming out 
Of college.Tate was extremely raw but he had natural aize.

Tate was a project. But he has progressed. But not involving him more in the offense isnt helping his growth.
Hes not running wrong routes or giving up on routes.
He needs reps 

Higgins wasn't that polished.  He didn't run a full route tree at Clemson. Boyd has definitely made positive strides forward since Bicknell arrived in '18 after being benched in '17.  Higgins, obviously, has exceeded expectations.  Tate isn't great, but he has also certainly exceeded expectations based on where he was drafted.  

Reality is, Tate's only chance to be anything more than a depth guy is to become a good enough route runner to get seperation despite his lack of speed and quickness.  He didn't do that this year, and if he hasn't done it in year 3, he probably never will.    

Tate caught 50% of his targets last year.  He was targeted multiple times in 5 games this year.  In only one of those did he catch over 50% of his targets.  There's not a lot of point in trying to force him the ball when he's not effective, because Higgins can do everything he can and is flat out better than Tate.
