Default Brandon Tate interview

Saw this on on the Herald site. I'm actually surprised he made these comments.

BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Rap Sheet Blog Archive Hellooooooo Patriots rookie receiver Brandon Tate… “I’m feeling good.”

I know he was highly reguarded before the injury. Maybe we get some production out of him at some point

Hearing this update and looking at the picture in the Herald, all I could think of is "DY-NO-MITE!!!!!"

He certainly sounds optimistic, that's excellent. Who knows about the rest of this year but next year the WR could be Moss, Welker, Tate, Edelman, Nunn and Aiken. Did I miss anyone ? That's a pretty good group of experience, youth and ability plus ST with Welker, Tate, Edelman and Aiken all being ST players one way or another.

I don't know that I would be 'surprised' by his comments; what is he supposed to say? "My knee is still really sore" or "I'm looking forward to 2010"?

If I was Jimmy Walker, I mean Tate, I'd be eager to get on the field as well as do an interview to remind people I was still here too, given the performance of Edelman Sunday and Nunn in training camp.

I think Tate's primary value will be as a returner. He was the #2 receiver at UNC. We could use a returner, although I don't know if that is where you want to throw a guy coming off an ACL.

He returns kickoffs in my madden franchise, so I can see no reason why he can't contibute on the field this year. After all, according to the season I'VE been observing, Brady is on pace to throw 75 touchdowns to 12 different receivers, Tate hauling in a baker's dozen. Baker, ironically, hauling in only a regular dozen....


On the real, can Tate rush the passer, or block a zone blitz? Thats where we seem to be having some issues.

He was a #2 receiver behind a 1st round pick though... so nothing to sneeze at.

He was coming on big time as a WR. It's very possible he would have been drafted ahead of Nicks if not for his issues (ACL and drug test).

I wonder if him and/or Edelman can push Galloway for playing time.

I think one very unappreciated aspect is how all of a sudden we have at least one young receiver who looks very good (and maybe another in Tate?), in light of the hue and outcry of the Chad Jackson debacle.
