It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I've noticed Tate catch the ball above his head a few times on kickoffs compared with the basket catches most return men use. Is this confidence in his hands or bad positioning/technique?
Maybe he's a baseball player, too. That's how they're taught to catch. If only Manny could've mastered it.
He told me it gives him an extra .10 seconds to run
It probably does give him a boost or headstart, I know in Madden I run right before the catch which causes him to raise his arms and catch in motion adding an extra boost to the beginning of the return.
Not sure, but considering he broke return records in college and has already brought two to the house within four games, he can catch 'em however he wants for all I care.
so far he's shown hands of glue...in the return game and the passing game...not sure what the worry is here...
So far his TD to fumble ratio is pretty good, so until it is a problem, I'm okay with it.It's poor technique. Sure you always want to catch the ball with your hands, but should you miss, and you are at "basket" height, the ball will land right in front of you so you can fall on it and protect posession. If you catch the ball over your head and miss, its a live ball fumble behind you, with the opposition running full speed toward it.

Unrelated to this exact subject, but appropos to Tate, I think that between he and Hakeem Nicks, Tate was the better receiver.

I wouldn't say better, but I always thought he had more potential.
