It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Now with our CAP space free, how would Coles look playing opposite Moss ? I think he'd be a perfect compliment, a guy that's tough, physical and would be great on the interior and sidelines in this offense.

id much rather see them bring in a guy like Devery Henderson.
I'd rather have Torry Holt because we need a split end. We have a slot and a flanker, we need a split end. Coles plays flanker and doesn't have much of what you look for in a split end.
Here you go! Differencecan you pls describe the difference between the flanker and split end, and what characteristics you look for in each?

Honestly, the "characteristics" you look for in both of them are dependent upon the system, but they tend to be more or less the same. Lining up half a step back or on the line doesn't really change the ability you're looking for in a wide receiver. Years ago, it made a difference, but in modern times it's more signifying the #1 and #2 receivers (the flanker tends to line up on the side the quarterback prefers to throw to). Receivers play both positions in every single game. I think jays52 was just trying to look smart; maybe Torry Holt would be a better fit or his preference, but it has nothing to do with the (very small) difference between SE and FL.
For what it's worth, Coles tended to line up in the split end position anyways, so the argument is pretty irrelevant.
I respectfully disagree. While the job descriptions are similar, the skill sets required are different, at least in quite a few schemes. I also feel that Coles was playing out of position in NY. Look at the guy play. Look at his long speed, look as his footwork, look at how he fights press. He looks a lot like a flanker playing split end to me. Curious as to how your opinion differs.
