Tate's Preseason Silence: Titans Rookie's Future Bright?
25 Aug
Summary
- Rookie receiver Carnell Tate has zero catches on five targets in preseason.
- Tennessee is not currently designing plays to get Tate open.
- The Titans expect Tate to make an impact during the regular season.
Carnell Tate, a key draft pick for the Tennessee Titans' rebuild, has recorded zero receptions on five targets through the preseason games, prompting some concern among fans. Despite the early statistics, which show a 0% completion rate, Titans' management is not worried. Coach Robert Saleh confirmed that play-calling is not currently engineered to feature Tate.
Saleh indicated that when it is time for Tate to be a central part of the offense, the team will "scheme" to get him the ball. The preseason has primarily focused on other position battles, rather than showcasing Tate's full capabilities. The Titans invested heavily in Tate, and expect him to contribute significantly once the regular season commences on September 13th.
