But he looked very athletic/powerful doing it - almost Tasker-like. I been wondering about the legion that drinks from the Coy Kool Aid Fountain for years. Their assessment of his football abilities does not completely mesh with reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 i'm sorry i just don't see the love affair with this guy -------------------------------------------------------------- it's simple. He's an undersized white boy playing in the NFL. Just like most of us...except for the NFL part. Why do you think John Lynch was/is so popular?

If you think being a great special teamer is measured by the amount of turnovers you single handedly generate, all I can say is wow. What has happened to the football IQ on this board the past couple of weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayboy54 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 First, Wire did not make it past the first cutdown. That is next week. The Bills just got halfway there a few days ahead of schedule. Second, Wire is not a great ST player, and arguably not even a really good one. He is a serviceable ST player and possibly may become a serviceable safety. Please do not compare Coy to any really good or great players. The problem lies with deciding to continue the Coy Wire project, or begin to develop a hotter, younger prospect. The final decision will be based on guys like Rashad Baker's development as well as in commiting the starters to ST play. No matter how you slice it, there is likely no way that both Prioleau and Wire stick. As much as I wish it weren't true, right now Prioleau is a more effective player.

Foxboro Mike Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Did he make a solo tackle? Wait - I should have checked before I made that comment. Where is Wire on the criticism meter? Is he more toward the Bledsoe side (can't be criticized otherwise the Thought Police follow you around) or the Pucillo side (rip away, good taste be damned)?

The Quebecer Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Coy Wire will be fine! Neither Tasker nor Pike we're Special teams Ace after 2 years... In the NFL, the 3rd year is the magic one.... If Wire doesn't cut it this year, he'll be out next year... But, as of right now, Imho, he'll make the team as our backup at SS, and might break out as a special teams ace... Keep the faith, people!

But aside, how do you think NE's rather slim margins of victory last year will stand up this season? 8064[/snapback] It all depends on whether you think it's a trend, or an anomaly: Patriots, post-Bledsoe era, games decided by 6 points or less: 16-1 Overtime: 7-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an oblique reference to DB. But can a 6 pt ave. margin as you state withstand the NFL's seeming desire to juice things up? Do you think Brady can be effective in a shoot-out?
