Phlegm Alley Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just read that along with Coles, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, former Pittsburgh G Kendall Simmons, and the Carolina OL are going to be in for a visit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Coles and Evans are sort of similar players though, no? I would've thought they'd look for someone with a different skill set. Still, hearing a name player is coming to town is cause for a bit of excitement.

Still, hearing a name player is coming to town is cause for a bit of excitement. Would like to see Coles in a Bills uniform. Nice for a name player, only thing is, is he using us as leverage with some other team? Hope that's not the only reason he is in for a visit.

Still, hearing a name player is coming to town is cause for a bit of excitement. Their skillset is similar, but Coles goes over the middle alot more. He'll run the short routes and work to rack up some YAC. He complained about having to do that alot in Washington though and that's when he got traded back to the Jets. I know he's a good WR, but he's been often injured and I don't know if he's really a good compliument for Evans for the long-term. He'd be better than anything we have after Evans though. <---All of the Reed supporters chime in after this statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Any idea why Kendall Simmons was cut? I think he is the guy who has been battling diabetes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that's not the only reason he is in for a visit. You could be right, but ... there is a glaring need for WR here, so it's a good starting gig. I'll take it at face value.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Laveranues Coles Birth Date December 29, 1977 Birth Place Jacksonville, FL Height 5-11 Weight 193 lbs. Age 31 Pronounced la-VERN-ee-us Position WR Experience 9 years 2008 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 75 | Grade indicates player is a good starter. Alert: None Comment: Coles is an eight-year veteran who has average size, but good overall athletic ability. He has decent push off the line of scrimmage with good quickness, balance and agility to be a solid route runner. He is a tough competitor who has good courage and concentration in traffic. He will extend away from his body over the middle, but may be best on perimeter patterns. He appears to have a good feel for the game and can convert routes effectively versus disguising coverages. Coles has enough speed to stretch deep zones, but isn't an explosive player. He is a well-built athlete who has some power to break tackles on the second level, but is best eluding defenders and getting upfield. He is a willing blocker, but his lack of size hinders his effectiveness. Coles is a good football player who uncharacteristically missed six games due to injury and still led the team in receiving touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 yea WGR just talking about it I can't believe WGR is talking about football. I had them on for a change this morning for about an hour and they didn't say one word about football. I did however hear plenty about all the possible moves that Darcy Regier won't make! Oh well, not like it is a big day for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Coles WOULD take some attention off of Evans though. No more double teams on Lee would mean we could actually attempt the deep pass again. That is if Turk remembers what page he put that pass on...

Maybe a change of scenery will be good for him and maybe he will be good for TE. Let's see if the Bills FO ponies up a legitimate offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I know the Bills games are broadcast on a Citadel broadcasting channel, but I find it ridiculous that a Russ Brandon interview is taking place on 103.3 instead of the only sports talk station in WNY(Entercom). I don't know how much of this is because of any ongoing fued between WGR and the Bills, but either way its a disservice to Bills fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
