According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch

[zow2]

My whole thing is that the other WRs are not tremendous. But by removing Keon you are eliminating what has clearly been a problem for Allen.  Here’s a guy that disrupts Allen’s progressions because he’s not open most of the time, or he’s loafing around and not making himself an option. Keon is not playing to the standard whatsoever. and that’s bringing the offense down.  The WR unit will likely be better and more cohesive without him.

FYI,  and this should come as no surprise,  I heard earlier this week that they’re done with Coleman.

Why do we always doubt sources? FWIW, it’s not that complicated. There are LOTS of people that have that information. Why is it so hard for some to believe, in a city this size, that people would have that info? 🤣🤣

 

I promise, in 2025, it’s not that uncommon for people to have sources. This holds especially true for a business that’s entire job is to cover the Bills. 🤣🤣 Let’s stop with the question the messenger nonsense. If they didn’t know it to be true they wouldn’t put it out there. It would damage their credibility and ultimately, their money. They aren’t going to do that. 

 

KIrby, exactly zero people are attacking the messenger but they are asking a fair question to someone who claims to have heard that the Bills have given up on their top pick from just 18 months ago.

 

Do you think it's unfair to ask @SectionC3 to elaborate?

 

Is it your opinion that people should just unquestionably accept these kind of statements without further question?

I have no issues if Coleman just can’t cut it. But to hear he has an effort problem is disappointing. 

 

Not just an effort problem.  He's shown up late for meetings, can't get separation, and hasn't been producing.  

 

Given all his shortcomings, it's not surprising to learn - if true - he's going to be a healthy scratch.

I dont know them.

 

Also, sources are wrong at the time including those who are being relied upon for the ppl that post stuff here. 
 

If they weren’t sure that the source was right, they wouldn’t say anything. That’s the point. Their business is predicated on credibility with Bills fans. They can’t risk that. 
 

Again, lots of people have sources. Lots of people here do. They aren’t all the same. You may hear something from someone in personnel, a player, a coach, training staff, medical staff, a family member, a media person, etc… There are lots of people in the know but to varying degrees. If these guys weren’t positive, they wouldn’t say anything. They have too much to lose.

I’m talking about Cover 1. They have way too much to lose to be wrong.

Exactly. If he’s no longer read 1 the new 1st, 2nd and maybe 3rd options become better ones.

I wish I knew why we seem to miss on so many high round picks.  Bad scouting?  Are we just guessing wrong?  

 

It's frustrating.  Especially when the cap is becoming a real issue, we have to get more hits than misses.

Ah, got it. I was talking about Section C3.

Unless Coleman isn’t putting in the effort, then I’m not going to put it all on him. He’s one of many issues with our passing game but far from the biggest one. Coleman was never gonna be a burner at WR and while he isn’t panning out, the criticism should lie with Beane, McDermott and Brady!
 

Unfortunately,  it’s looking like another big swing and miss by Beane and his scouting team. It’s compounded even more by the miss on Carter. That hurts when you traded down with KC and came away with NOTHING. Factor in Elam, Boogie, Landon Jackson and it has rippling effects on the entire roster. 
 

McDermott and Brady have created a passing offense that is a grind and far too horizontal which minimizes your best weapon in Josh Allen. Beane has surrounded Josh with low tier WR’s and a TE that can’t stay healthy. 
 

Lastly, they believe continuing to add assets and resources to the D, when McDermott’s scheme has proven over and over it doesn’t translate in the playoffs.  Even worse, with all the resources we lack any difference makers.

Like I’m gonna burn who told me this.  I don’t blame you for asking, but give me a break.  
 

The thought is that Coleman is immature and can’t handle failure/disappointment.  They don’t think it’s going to work for him here. So they’re done.  Maybe he gets a jersey again, maybe he has to go back in and it’s a 180.  And he probably will be here for the rest of the year out of necessity.  But again, I was told they’re done.

To hear? Have you watched him? Its so bad

watching him, I really can’t tell if it’s a true effort problem. Sometimes when someone can’t compete, it looks like they aren’t trying when they actually are (but just are bad).

In fairness to the guys we’ve swung and missed badly on…these are guys the Bills tried to force into positions outside of their strengths. They set them up for failure and once here that frustration likely spiraled. Elam as it turns out was just bad. Suppose Coleman may have a similar fate. So perhaps drafting and coaching failures.

This is a fair and good point. That being said, of all the people “in the know” around the Bills including local media and other more credentialed writers, it is surprising to me they were the first to report this as they aren’t typically the outlet who is making headlines. Has this been sourced by anyone else yet btw? 
 

We live in a sports society that is all about fast takes. When you’re wrong; it’s often forgetting and we’re into the next story. I don’t think it would really damage their credibility with bills fans at all.

Bc there is nothing more unreliable than a random board member or a Twitter user saying they have sources - inside a building that is notoriously tight lipped on everything. This is a team that even the biggest sources have a hard time getting a beat on. As Adam Schefter once put it "if the Bills are involved, they'll just be known as a "mystery team" until it goes down".

 

All posters with "reliable sources" from this board have been given info that has been proven wrong. And if this info is something they had, why are they only mentioning it now when Coleman is benched? 

 

Everything about that looks sus.

Also he is an effort player.  At this point,  that alone is an improvement over Coleman.

Davis was a team captain. That counts for something.

Fair. I guess the point is, if this info came from the roommate of the brother-in-law of the strength coach, they stay silent. That sounds like a crazy person to know, but there are times someone like that would know. That’s not vetted enough though for someone like Cover 1. They’re more likely hearing it much closer to the source. It may be coming from a scout or someone like that. They wouldn’t put it out there if it wasn’t vetted. It may hit TBD from the roommate of the brother-in-law. Someone that makes money knowing the Bills though wouldn’t be wrong. They’d just keep quiet.

Yes. and maybe Allen doesn’t hold the ball that extra second, dance around and run a circle in the backfield and take a dumb sack.

If true, what an enormous whiff by Beane. Basically set the offense back a year. 

Definitley sucks. For both the Bills and Coleman. 
 

Even then, around the time we were picking the only guy looking worth his salt in the league is Ladd. What could have been?!

 

If it wasn’t Ladd the other options of Worthy, Pearsall, Legette and Polk aren’t exactly that much better than Keon.

The Bills aren’t nearly as tight lipped as people seem to think. 🤣🤣 I’m referring specifically to Cover 1. Of course they have sources. It would be insane to think that they don’t. There are literally hundreds of people now that know who the Bills will activate tomorrow. You have the entire roster, coaches, personnel, medical staff, their families, their friends, etc… There are people on this message board that 100% know. It’ll come out tomorrow and we can start applying common sense to these reports. Cover 1 specifically, has to be right. That’s their livelihood.

I also heard he was offered as part of trade packages so this tracks.
