Seahwkgal":cb10xn27 said:Tate is a wicked mean blocker too. As an all around football player he is amazing. It took some time, but he finally got the "drops" taken care of and he is a very reliable and scary target. He "fights" for the ball like the best of 'em. He needs to be taken care of by the FO.
"Finally got the drops taken care of"...? I believe you're thinking of Kearse, right?
"Incredibly this year, of all wide receivers in the league only one avoided putting the ball on the ground. That man was Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate who caught all 35 catchable balls thrown his way. This wasn’t exactly the biggest surprise in the world as Tate has only dropped one ball (Week 13 versus Carolina in 2010) since entering the league."
Since then Tate has had maybe one or two very uncharacteristic games in which he wasn't quite at his best and maybe dropped a pass or two, but who doesn't have those games? Even Calvin Johnson can have an 'off day' every once in a while. Drops were definitely never an 'issue' for Tate...
