Line him up outside and go deep on the 1st play. Either he gets it or iy goes outta bounds.  The threat has to be there

instant hero status achieved if the play works

Coleman and Samuel inactive? 

I think it will be something like Samuel and Moore inactive. Davis sees a pretty high snap share leading to fewer for Coleman. Hardman works in for 3-5 offensive snaps. He ends up with a deep target and on carry.

Coleman inactive.

 

Addition by subtraction...the kid has a long way to go to be what they are asking and it is a bit unfair.

 

Some "on the job training" is expected of high draft picks, but not wise to put those guys in a critical position that needs almost veteran-level proficiency to keep the offense moving.

 

The kid had tremendous production in college off of mediocre volume of targets and was a consensus fringe 1st round projection, but a raw product in many ways.

 

It can be interesting to go back to the weakness traits that scouts saw. Those can really get exposed with the competition at the next level.

 

 

Weaknesses

• Explosiveness, while exceptional, isn’t always enough to completely stack boundary DBs.

 

• Has enough burst to stress vertically but doesn’t have high-end vertical range.

 

• Sometimes can be a bit late to decouple from defenders and turn his head on deep routes.

 

• Can be prone to occasional drops on low, high-difficulty catch attempts.

 

• Doesn’t quite have elite hip flexibility and sinking capacity, as hips can lock up.

 

• Has to take extra steps to gather himself on 180-degree route transitions.

 

• Sometimes will divert upright at stems, sapping at momentum and keying in DBs.

 

• At times, plant-and-drive footwork on comeback routes can be more efficient.

 

• Has immense promise with his route tree but can strive for more consistent technique.

 

• Still learning how to sequence short-area agility and physicality against press coverage.

 

• Contact balance, while solid, is not elite and doesn’t always bail him out on short passes.

I do not think they will activate Moore or Shavers over Coleman.  They have not given up on him yet, and making him a healthy scratch would be too much.

Send him a message it will help in the long run if he's going to be anything.

I don't think it has anything to do with sending keon Coleman a message as more to do with letting him be inactive for a few weeks and watch film and then mentally reset.... he looks overwhelmed right now...

[Chicharito]

40 mph winds for the game . No deep balls run heavy.

[nedboy7]

Finally the type of weather that explains our offense.  

[Kelly to Allen]

Palmer

Big game Gabe 

Shakir

Samuel

Shavers- gunner

Hardman - returner

😂 I don’t know, everyone says Coleman should be a big slot rather than an X. But, I see you.

 

I’m going to keep watching. I’m just sure there is a maybe in there somewhere, and I don’t want to miss it. 

 

Yeah, I’m curious to see if there is anything he might be able to do well, or at least better.

I think Keon is inactive tomorrow. McDermott will try to send him a message for the effort on those plays last week. Personally, I don’t think he’s very good but they’ll use “learning experience about being a professional” as the reason. 

[philholbroo]

Palmer and Coleman on field together is the recipe for success going toward playoffs.

My guess is Samuel. Hardman will take all punt and KOs

 

Maybe also Latu as could better use Gilliam as 3rd TE and if they still want an extra blocker, put Anderson on the field as eligible.

Considering Shakir is probably not 100% think they'd keep Coleman active as backup slot option if needed.

The fact that he's been disciplined twice, is jogging through plays like he's at the company picnic flag football game and has terrible body language leads me to think it is needed if he wants to be a successful pro. I'd add if things go well with him out that could lead to what you're saying as well.

With both of them added to this week's game, makes you wonder who will be a healthy scratch?

Brady.

This for the remainder of the year and we are all good

We finally can throw deep, and now we can't throw deep.

Out of alllll the Ohio state WRs and the one we get is ***** Curtis Samuel 

I don’t know if Samuel is that bad or if the offense is designed poorly.  Samuel averaged over 60 receptions for the two years prior to joining the Bills - so did Elijah Moore.  Neither of them is that old and haven’t had a significant injury (to my knowledge).  They have combined for 13 catches this season.  
 

I am not saying that either is a star, but they each have produced some results in the NFL.  What happened?

Man, I am getting a lot of mileage from this gif.

He just sucks and never should have been our pick
