The Facts: Tate had more receptions than any other Seahawk last season with 64. His 64 receptions and 898 yards were both career highs for Tate, but he was still left wanting in a run first, heavy on the defense franchise. Ironically, he felt his catch thirst could be quenched by becoming another team's No. 2 guy. "I think if I can stay healthy, God forbid, it's going to be fun. I have a chance to catch a ton more balls," Tate said. "I'm going to see a lot of single coverage. I'm probably going to see a lot of No. 2 and No. 3 cornerbacks because everyone's going to be on No. 81 (Calvin Johnson). I'm excited."

Diehards Line: Tate added: "I think the sky's the limit. I think it's going to get back to the old Golden. ..." It's worth noting the Lions ranked No. 3 in the NFL last season in passing, averaging 280.1 yards receiving per game. They threw the ball 214 times more last season (634 attempts), than the Seahawks (420 attempts), who ranked No. 26 out of 32 overall in passing. As MLive.com's Gillian Van Stratt suggests, that statistical category is obviously not congruous with a franchise's postseason success, but it is certainly appealing to a wide receiver in the prime of his career. Now we'll see it Tate can make good on his prediction.
