but speed sure as heck didnt keep Bennie Brazil or Mario Alford on the roster.
Auden Tate has from accounts the ability to grab balls out of the air and secure the catch with body control.
Core Erickson simply cannot duplicate that.
catch radius cant be overstated.
its awfully hard to defend a 6'5 WR with long arms and strength.
2nd 4 throw a quick slant to Tate whos gonna win that battle..Tate or the CB?
Tate will move Erickson and Core to the out of work line
I like Core cause of his size, speed, physicality but his weaknesses are route running and going up for the ball.
Could definately see Auden Tate taking his spot with his ability to pin point the ball with his size.
TD's is where it matters and winning the battle for the ball, Auden Tate does this.
Also Erickson will have it cut out for him after his poor year last year and guys like Brandon Wilson, Darius Phillips
and Mark Walton on the team. Wilson and Phillips were electric Returners in college and Walton can do it all for us
on ST's. All of these guys have been impressing already.
