Carnell Tate didn't catch a pass in the Tennessee ****** ans' joint practice against the Seattle Seahawks.
He didn't catch a pass in the preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers either. And he wasn't much of a factor in the joint practice against the 49ers. Throw in a practice missed with some "lower body stiffness" and it's fairly safe to say that Tate, the ****** ans' top-five pick and standout performer from early in the offseason, is experiencing his first real adversity as a professional.
Well, scratch that. It's not safe to say that in front of Cam Ward.
"He doesn't have a cold streak," the quarterback said, beginning a ringing endorsement of his new receiver. "He plays one of the hardest positions in sports. You're either going to get the ball or not get the ball. He never shows that to the team whether he's frustrated or not.
"The thing about Carnell, whether he has a drop or I have a bad pass, he never points fingers at ****** ody. He always comes back with a next-play mentality. I think the best thing about him is he wants the ball, so when the ball does get thrown his way, he's urgent to it. He high-points it. There's times where he bails me out when the ball needs to be better. He's been great. He may not have had the splash plays like he always does today, but he's going to be a key reason why we're successful on offense."
