Are you seriously pimping PS playing time? You realize Taylor has been resting his good players as much as possible, right? Malone got more seperation on that should have been a TD in week 1 than Tate has gotten his entire pro career combined.
If separation doesn't matter, then why doesn't every team just roll 4 6'6" TE's out there every snap? Tate's speed makes things harder for everyone else on the field. S's cheat into the box to stop the run and cheat on guys like AJ and Boyd. CB's jump his routes trying for picks because he ain't going anywhere if they miss. Contested catches lead to tipped balls which leads to more passes coming back the other way.
Tate needs to improve against 1's big time that is for sure.
Same for Malone but like you said he can at least get separation which is a big deal cause this means he can play in
between the 20's and not just in the Red Zone. Getting open comes from getting separation, you get open the QB can
see it.
Tate should only be used in Red Zone situations or in emergency cause he cannot get separation.
Still want both to make the team.
