Hope those two get it worked out whichever it is! They both have interesting skills.
Good point. That’s always the hardest thing to tell as a fan. We jump to our own conclusions sometimes.

Boyd and Tate showed flashes of what we're looking for: WRs not named Green that can make some tough contested catches. That's obviously one of the spots where Ross needs to improve the most, but I'm just happy to have him contributing here and there while getting reps. I think our WR group has some decent depth and hopefully Lazor can see the potential of having Green, Boyd, Tate, and Ross on the field at the same time.

Tate made a few fantastic catches yesterday. I was impressed with his reach.He was fun to watch.

And Core had one catch , a penalty costing thirty yards of field position, a improper route that led to an interception. Advantage Tate.

Also, there was the one he nearly came down with that would have been on highlight reels for weeks....I've not seen a guy twist his body in midair that way to get his hands on the ball since Ocho. The ground knocked the ball loose, and then there was the throw on 4th down that he was interfered on. That throw should have gone to Boyd anyway, he was WIDE OPEN over the middle. Wasn't one of those a 4th or 3rd down conversion he caught? Seems like it was, but I don't recall. More snaps may lead to more production. I did not see the 1st half, but I know Dalton targeted him once in the red zone as I listened on the radio. Was it a missed throw or a drop?
It was thrown about three feet over his head.

Tate made a couple of great grabs.
He also dropped three passes, including a touchdown. He’s not very good right now.

I'm pretty sure that end zone fade was way over his head. And out of bounds.

Actually, I misspoke. It was three feet over his fully extended outstretched arms and hands and fingers.

The pass directly after that was a back shoulder throw to him that he dropped.

He did have a couple drops,so did ross,and so did boyd i think he had atleast one drop. Im surprised tate dropped them but i still like him more then core.

Driskel throws a very different ball than Dalton.
I would assume the WRs are more used to.catching Andys passes than Driskels..
the release points are different...rpms on the ball
its a adjustment period
