To all those questioning Tate's decision making I will share this with you:
A couple years ago I listened to a Texan's return guy. He said the decision is often based on the blocking scheme called. For instance if the scheme is designed to clear the left side of the field and the kick goes to the right; he is usually not returning it because he knows the blocking is just not there. Conversely, if that kick goes to the left; he's returning it regardless.
Point is: We just don't know if the decision was good or not. We just get to judge after the result.
