They guy showed next to nothing, albeit in a short amount of time. CLE was happy to get rid of him. It was worth a shot, but “ potential” only does so much in the NFL. The player has to work hard to produce at some point. 

 

I don't disagree.

He must have had a terrible attitude and zero hustle in practice.

I mean I just don't get why we keep these bottom of the barrel try hard players that are going to be inactive every game instead of someone with potential

 

Browns had no value for him. Bills had no value for him. 

 

Maybe he just sucks and isnt isn’t worth keeping around. 

 

Nothhing about his career so far suggest potential.

Got one right.  That trade reeked of the Hackenberg for a conditional 7th sort of thing.  Give the GM something as a favor so they can save some face and not cut the guy, then turn around and cut the guy shortly thereafter.

John Dorsey didn't draft Coleman. This wasn't a favor between Beane and Dorsey. It was Beane taking a shot on Coleman for a 7th rounder in 2 years, plus salary. It didn't work out. No huge loss.

Dang, was rooting for Reilly.  But have to trust the coaches on this one.  I don’t see him in practice, ... maybe he’s not getting enough separation? Who knows.  The rib didn’t help.  Be interesting if he gets picked up by another club.

No one is picking up Coleman for $3.5M. I bet the Bills bring him back for a lot less.

So we would take the cap hit for cutting him and then bring him back at a lower salary to take more of a cap hit?

Three punters? It’s a bold move, but I don’t hate it!

If one can kick long and one can pooch and one can kick to the sidelines, the other team would have no idea where the punt would go. You line them up like the old T formation, three across. Genius! Analytics! Innovation!

Genius indeed. I wonder if there’s room on the roster for an onside kick specialist?!

I was thinking some weird science experiment....Schmidt's ability to hold, Lechler's leg, Ryan's sense of humor...have Dr. Andrew Cappicunno work on it...

Staying late and a good forty time doesn’t always equal production. Something else had to be lacking. 

 

Production and the fact that the Bills

current roster was loaded at WR.  I never thought they would keep 7 WR’s.  IMO it was always going to be tough for Coleman to make this roster.  He would have essentially had a big enough preseason to oust someone like Holmes or Kerley off the roster.

He did nothing but win games for us at the end. How could they cut him? They could surely keep five TEs if they keep three punters. 

The third punter doesn't know it yet, but they have plans for him...

Not sure what the hell Beane was thinking with the Coleman trade.  Did the same garbage with Kaelin Clay last year.

I bet Beane was thinking that in 2020 when the Bills were drafting in the 7th round, that there would be no one close to Corey Coleman's talent on the board.  Also, he was thinking that by that time, a 2020 7th rounder, was unlikely to make the team he and McD are building.  It cost Terry and Kim a couple of million (which is akin to me going to Waca and buying an Icee) and it cost the Bills nothing in terms of real player assets.

 

You likely disagree with this thinking, but that's probably what he was thinking.

We could actually use a fourth punter if the guy was good at fakes. At least these punters would know not to block a guy in the back.

No question the very first thing Tanner did after receiving his release from the Bills was to log into TwoBillsDrive.

 

Yea I get your sarcasm.  All good, I'm content with taking my shot at stupid internet-age courseness that is almost never funny anyway.

Through training cap, It looked like Dean Marlowe was going to be on the 53.    History with McBeane and reports were that he was performing well.  But Siran Neal outplayed him in preseason games 3 and 4.    This was a case where preseason games likely did matter.
