Ross was only thrown to twice last week when Tate was inactive. It also isn't like they were trying to force the ball to Ross in the end zone when he was blanketed by the defender. Why were they throwing it more to Tate than Thomas, who has outplayed both guys so far this year?
Does it make sense to force the ball to a WR that has scored 1 TD in 2 years in the league? Tate has proven throughout his career to be woefully ineffective in the red zone. Why would you make him the focus of your red zone offense?
Not only that, by why would you reward a back half of the roster player for having his camp spout off in the media?
