The Facts: Tate believes swapping the Seahawks' offense for the Lions' new plan will fit his skill set and allow him to develop as a receiver. "I think this offense is going to fit better for me as a player than Seattle's did," Tate told the team's official website.

Diehards Line: As NFL.com asked, what pass-catching player wouldn't trade a run-heavy offense for one that loves to chuck it around? Tate's ability to break tackles and not drop passes makes him an ideal fit next to Calvin Johnson. During new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi's seven years with the New Orleans Saints -- whose offense he plans to emulate -- Drew Brees threw fewer than 600 passes in a season just once. Tate already has an idea of who he could imitate in that type of offense. "I watched some tape on the Saints over the last few years and just looking at that -- I haven't talked to coach Lombardi that much -- I see myself being a Lance Moore type of player, but just more explosive and able to do a few more things," Tate said. Now, Lombardi must transform his only big offseason upgrade into a souped-up version of Moore.
