Golden Tate knows he needs to be better
Wide receiver Golden Tate knows he needs to up his game and hopes a change in offensive scheme will help him.
Through seven games this season Lions receiver Golden Tate is averaging a career-low 9.4 yards per reception and is well off his Pro Bowl numbers from last year (99 receptions and 1,331 yards).
Tate’s production was expected to drop a little as long as Calvin Johnson stayed healthy, but certainly the Lions were hoping for more than 34 receptions, 318 yards and just one touchdown heading into the midway point of the season.
