We Need a Deep Threat
 
I thought last week it might have been the Ravens defense but we definitely need a deep threat. Why not use Tate more often, at least make him run deep once in a while? Defenses don't respect the deep threat anymore and this means a shorter field for the offense.

I know we won, though it was way closer than it should have been but think about it. We will not always have 4 turnovers. Last 2 defenses have been playing us really close to the line and they won't stop as long as we don't show them we can pass deep.

Tate is having trouble getting separation but give it some time. I did think it was early to call him a deep threat when he had caught what, 11 passes in his short career?

Brady was getting thrashed for most of the game and started seeing success with quick dump offs. Exactly how would a deep threat have changed that result?

It kind of resembled the Giants defense in the Super Bowl, and the Pats had a deep threat then. The Chargers were simply getting to Brady too quickly for routes to develop.

I am not going to cry over spilled milk but are you honestly saying that you don't notice defenses playing us much closer to the line the last two games?

The FO has decided that a deep threat is unnecessary and that we are better off without one on the team.

Tate is game fast but not a long stridder like Moss..

There was a conversation about a week ago on Sirius, (I believe) Press Coverage..
Per a source, Tate only has 4.52 speed.. Not a deep threat!
