According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch (rumored for Texans game too)

not sure why they thought Moore would be any good. He sucked for the Jets. The Jets!!

Moore has the catch radius of a frisbee,  He is what he is, a bargain basement FA wr.

Sit Coleman until next season.  Let him prove himself in training camp.  I think its premature to trade him.  He’s still young and can mature and hopefully develop his skills. 

I'm kinda in this camp... but only if he can handle it... only those in the building will know.  Today will be a telling day for the staff with him.... is he going to rise up, or be resentful with a "shouldve played me yesterday" attitude.  I should clarify the - shouldve played me mentality is ok, as long as its in a healthy competitive way, and he looks locked in... I dunno that he has the maturity to handle that benching, could def see him permanently checking out mentally and leaving him resentful about being in BUFF.

 

Time will tell!

This is the second high draft choice that's proved to be a "head" case. Remember CB Elam?

 

I know its tough drafting at the end of the 1st two rounds. By then the blue chippers are gone.

 

It also can be difficult to predict who will adjust to adversity in the pros. Sometimes high draft choices excel in college because of above average natural talent and playing for a team loaded with blue chippers.

 

Anyone have any insight into how coachable Colman is?

 

He's not going to beat you with his speed so he's got to do it being a smart route runner but he's not good at that. It seems he was drafted for his height and leaping ability but you can't make a living in the pros specializing in back shoulder catches.

 

Do the Bills have a sports psychologist on staff?

I haven't re-watched the debacle but Coleman did appear to be in Adam Henry's ear on the sideline after one of many failed attempts to feed Shakir.   Henry appeared less than pleased with his input.   Shakir ended up piling up some yards but he's been a net negative the last couple weeks.

How was Elam a head case? He never caused any problems. He just wasn't a good football player.

How do you know he's not taking it too well?

His post game interview after Bucs game.  He was deflecting accountability a bit, and hung up semantics of late vs absent.  I dont have a problem with that inside the building, but shouldve just took his medicine since the staff already knows whats going on.

 

Aside from half deflecting accountability, his attitude was seeping out and you could see he barely outlasted the short lit fuse.  Looks like a kid forced to apologize, and after arguing/threatened with more punishment, they break down and yell - "Fine!!! Im sorry!!!" while their eyes are rolling.

 

Wouldve liked to see him by smarter, take full accountability, no half apologies, no pouting.  Despite all that, if he comes in and grinds and earns his way back into a part time role, even if its not until next season, then he'll have my respect.
