ML: Tate was on the practice squad for a reason

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.

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.

Thanks for reminding me....it was. I recall Laps call on it now.

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
