Keon Coleman likely to return against Pittsburgh

[BillsFanForever19]

With Curtis Samuel putting in two DNP's, Josh Palmer unexpectedly popping back on the injury report after practice on Wednesday, than being downgrading to DNP today, Mecole Hardman on IR, and Elijah Moore's release - we're left with Brandin Cooks, Khalil Shakir, Tyrell Shavers, and Keon Coleman healthy on the 53. 

 

Even with Gabe Davis activated (as expected he will be), if we were to sit to Coleman - we'd only have 4 active WR's. We generally roll with 5. So it's likely Keon gets back this week, unless Palmer goes. Which given he went from Limited to DNP, isn't looking good.

Was Tylan Grable’s 21 day window activated?

I believe it was, yes.

 

As far as Coleman, ok. Let's see if his benching lit a fire. I felt that he would see the field again due to injury. I'll be interested to see his snap count and if he's back in his normal role or seeing limited snaps.

[Comebackkid]

this should be on Ripleys believe it or not.   how do this many wrs get injured doing so little so quick?.

All the Bills WRs this season

Here’s hoping for the best for Coleman. I like him and think he can have impact and it’s too soon yet for final judgment. He is definitely a fan favorite in that he is a focal point for some and they take their football (life’s?) frustration out on him. So either way it goes, he serves a purpose

[Kelly to Allen]

I don't have any faith but maybe he surprises everyone and has a big impact 

 

 

[HurlyBurly51]

cannot wait to see the notification that Samuel has been released after the season

[Wizard]

Just seems like a lot of injuries, bad timing, and mismanagement of getting quality receivers/putting receivers in the right positions to make plays/scheme, etc.

 

Help me, Keon Coleman, you're my only hope!

Why even keep Curtis Samuel over Elijah Moore when he brings absolutely nothing to the table and is always injured

If what's being floated out there to Ian Rapaport by Moore/his team and/or the Bills are to be believed - it seems that Moore wanted to be featured or wanted out (ala Mike Edwards)

There's a difference between "wanting to be featured" and "wanting more reps."

Well he had 27 snaps in his last game as a Bill (41% of offensive snaps) against the Texans. Which was 4th most amongst WR's behind Khalil Shakir at 44 snaps, Gabe Davis at 36 snaps, and Josh Palmer at 33 snaps. And above Tyrell Shavers, following his big outing against the Bucs.

 

He had only 9 less snaps than Davis, who had the most amount of snaps for an Outside WR and only 6 less snaps than Palmer. If he's saying that's not good enough, he's essentially saying he wants to start. Which I would say is being featured.

Well hopefully he learned something, will show up on time, and put some effort out on the field.  If he doesn't have the skill then he doesn't have the skill, but he at least has to give 100%.

I still disagree. Moore was 5th in WR snaps for the Bills this year so it's still a stretch equating wanting more snaps to wanting to be featured.

 

And now you've offered that he wanted to be a starter but being a starter is still not the same as being featured. There are plenty of starting wide receivers that aren't featured in their offenses.

That's some serious semantic stretching to be like "though he wanted more snaps even after having just single digits less than both the starters - that doesn't mean he wanted to be a featured part of the offense".

 

Why do you think someone wants more snaps? No player says "if I'm on the field more, I'm happy. Don't throw me the ball, just give me more "snaps".

I guess I'll match your eye roll emoji...

 

Your choice of the word "featured" (not Moore's or Rapaport's word... your word) is incorrect.

 

Rapaport said Moore wanted more reps. You continue to insist that "more reps" = "featured." Then you tried to substitute and then equate "starter" for "featured."

 

None of those 3 things are the same.

 

NFL teams run 11 personnel over 60% of the time meaning that every team has 3 starting wide receivers. Moore was 5th in snap counts.

 

He could have had more reps without becoming a starter and he could have become a starter without being featured.

 

He wanted more reps.

 

Anything beyond that is your own imagination.

 

Good night.
