Daaaaamn!!! This chart makes him look like a young DK Metcalf in the making 🤣

 

But confused by this though - who can explain? DK is definitely quick, so why such low separation in man coverage? 

 

Sterling Shepard doesn't look quick, very decent separation. 

 

In a way this seems positive if you really really squint - it must be possible to improve the technical part of creating separation (Keon won't get much quicker I assume)

 

He also has a decent YPRR - if he could just get to "below average" as a separator he could more up and right towards BTJ and Tet McMillan area?

 

Or is this the whole point? Some guys just can't / don't separate?

 

In that case, can we look at the scheme? I definitely see DK open and catching the ball and he also can't/doesn't separate? So they must have been finding ways to get him open all these years? Or that just means he is only doing it against Zone coverage?

Cue the Keon truthers to tell you that the data is bad/irrelevant or he needs more time to develop because he’s young or it’s Brady’s fault or whatever other excuse they can come up with. The guys stinks. He can’t get open. It’s not complicated. 
 

Here’s another chart showing his ineptness:

The Bills have a problem and his name is Keon Coleman

Coleman is a basketball player playing football. He's tall with a crazy vertical and elite body control--when the ball is five feet over his head. Allen and Brady have assumed that with his athleticism he could catch back-shoulder throws, making up for his lack of separation. Makes perfect sense, only he simply can't seem to adjust to those throws. Bizarre but true. That makes him even more one-dimensional. The good news is that one dimension can be spectacular, as he showed in college. Give him fades and high jump balls, and he'll win every time. I don't recall which game it was, but remember that high ball in the back of the end zone that he skyed for and caught, only to land out of bounds? Compare that to the "fade" in the end zone in another Baltimore game that was chest-level. He might have caught it if he weren't interfered with, but my point is that if Allen had thrown it ten feet above his head, he would have climbed the ladder and brought it down. 

 

So there's hope! Maybe we have a star here who Allen and Brady (of course not Brady, who can't figure out anything) haven't learned to use yet.

There was a breakdown of his game on video in the offseason.  He is a terrible route runner who takes way too many steps, presumably trying to juke people. It slows him down and makes it very easy to cover him. He is just not good at the running and getting open part of football.

Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr are Keon’s direct neighbors on that chart
