Tate does not have a well rounded game, but was pretty good in red zone last night so hopefully he has added that to his game.
Tate is probably one of the least well rounded backs I've seen. He is a fast, strong, one cut RB and that is about it. Luckily, those are the biggest needs in Texans system. He'll never be Foster, but there is a very short list of RBs that I'd rather have as backup for Foster.

I agree and it's what I was trying to say. Tate is a great runner in between the 20s but has so far struggled in short yardage and in all passing situations. He is also not the game breaker foster is.
Foster got a very reasonable contract that is smaller than guys he outproduces.
