thebandit27 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 ESPN Radio just reported that Coles is close to signing a deal with the Dolphins. I'm not disputing that they said that, but how much sense does that make considering he's in Buffalo right now visiting with the Bills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the receptionist at OBD gave the phone to Jim Kelly just after we drafted him, and it was the USFL trying to sign him. Actually, I think your correct. Unless Coles is using the Bills for leverage and his agent is working the phones behind our backs, I would hope he is devoting his attention to us.

Mr. WEO Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Who does? If we get Coles AND Dunn, they can both teach Lynch how to shop at the high end boutiques in Buff---and get the "Gator Discount"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornerville Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Don't want coles. Rather have Josh as a 2. Nah. Coles has only caught 89+ balls 3 times. Who needs that production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Same skill or not, defenses can't double both of them. Yes they can. Just takes extra DB's and they would only need to do that if we had a TE that they couldn't cover with a LB which we don't. We may be one of the easiest teams in the league for defenses to go double on the wideouts. Of course, if we did land him, I have to wonder if we would ever use him properly. I am not sure we need a WR with blazing speed, picturesque patterns and amazing hands to run 3 yarders in the flat on 3rd and 9. For the most part, we keep our Ferrari's in the garage under a blanket. Occasionally, we take them for a spin down to the bottom of the driveway and back but that is about it. God forbid we ever went long because, heaven fofend, something bad could happen. I don't know why a top WR in this league would ever want to play for a dink and dunk team like the Bills.

Poeticlaw Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Don't want coles. Rather have Josh as a 2. Josh has had his chances as number 2 hes better as a number 3 we need a legimate #2 and coles is an upgrade over Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he want to play for a team that never lets their WR's get downfield? If I were Coles, Buffalo would be one of he last teams in the league I would be interested in playing for. I don't think Coles is the kid of guy whou would be happy to run 5 yard quick outs all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Coles and Evans, two proven threats, would relieve some of the blitzes causing Edwards to look for the short pass, thus, allowing for deeper routes (in theory). It's like a good pass rush makes your d-backs look good also, with less coverage time needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't be more wrong. Coles is not a "go deep" type of receiver, never was. He is a take a 5 yard pass and do something with it guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Tim Graham on WGR dismissed this as a rumor which started this afternoon. Obviously. Everything I am reading is saying Coles is still in Buffalo, and staying the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a good pass rush makes your d-backs look good also, with less coverage time needed. Yeah, that is why we would want him but my question was, why would he want to play for us? I don't think he is looking to wind up his career with a dink and dunk offense. And it is all moot now, I may have been right I guess as he went to Cincy where Carson Palmer is not reluctant to go deep. Really, other than $$ what do we have to sell this offense to top FA offensive talent??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
