Golden Tate is built a different way. I don't understand people who want him to "fight for the extra few yards". This isn't like he's avoiding hits and losing 1st downs, usually its picked up already so him avoiding it and preserving his body over a reason is vastly more important

Cooks has a thin build. He doesn't have the type of body that can absorb all those hits(He's smaller than most CB's). I don't mind him playing it smart, b/c too many hits and he'll get injured eventually. It is what it is.

Also, Snead, Thomas, & Coleman have plenty of size. We have guys that compliment him very well.

Golden Tate is built almost exactly on the lines of Willie Snead. The two have similar games as well. Cooks is listed at 189 lbs while Tate is listed at 198. That almost 10 lbs difference makes for a different type of power/strength. If we see Cooks at more muscle, I'm sure his game would change to reflect his work in the gym.
