Patriots Sign WR Corey Coleman

[PatsFan2]

I gave you a funny rating, but I figured this deserved a serious response, too. The Bills brought in an ex-Patriot guy to run the offense, so the playbook probably reflects what the Patriots use, even if it's been modified a bit. That obviously doesn't bode well for Coleman.

I remember some around here who don't hold that ex-pat coach in high esteem. That said I think we could use him like we did Dorsett last year like a 4th option.

Brian Daboll is the OC up there. Never my fav.

I rest my case.

Quick question did you like Coleman coming out??

Quick question did you like Coleman coming out??

I was surprised he went in the 1st, to be honest. The knock on him was his limited route tree and his tendency to win based on sheer superior athleticism rather than route running, and that definitely showed up when I reviewed his games. I did think he was intriguing, though. Good speed and showed some really explosive playmaking ability. I thought he had a chance to develop into the type of player Cooks was here (for better or for worse). I definitely wouldn't have complained if he'd made it to pick 60.

Honestly, I was more focused on DBs for that draft. I wanted Sean Davis, who went 2 picks before Cyrus Jones (who I feared would end up here, but didn't really like a lot, even though I thought he seemed like a clear scheme fit). Davis has been okay, but not as good as I thought he might be. Better than C. Jones at least!


Disclaimer: I don't have even close to a perfect track record. I've missed on plenty of WRs.

Great college player. Not so much in the NFL. Might be worth a shot.

Apparently he had trouble with Buffalo's playbook. Yikes.

Oh no

 

[SammyBlueCat]

From a scouting report.

BOTTOM LINE Dangerous vertical talent with the ability to get over the top of defenders who fail to recognize his blazing quickness off the line of scrimmage. Coleman can get instant separation to create favorable passing windows and is one of the top playmakers in this draft. Coleman's issues with drops near the middle of the field could be a concern if teams see him next as a slot receiver due to his lack of size. Regardless, he can line up outside and win and he offers immediate punt return help.

That last sentence is likely why they're working him out.

Ok. Now I am interested

Dude has a bad attitude, acts entitled, can't run routes, and that key drop against Pittsburgh last year scares me. I don't want Dez but would take him over Coleman.

 

[Triumph]

Coleman or Goldman?

His preference matters little to me.

2018 and all

From what I saw on Hard Knocks, no thanks. Bad attitude. Me first dude. I'd pass.

Saw all the sneakers the dude got? He worries more about his shoes getting dirty than his play

 

[edkk323]

I’ll weep for you McCarron.

I would whip you McCarron.

 

[Snooky97]

What’s the potential cap hit? Going to have to go through and look at him in more depth

That was embarrassing, how do you ask why you’re running with the 2s maybe cause you’re pure garbage. He was literally bout to cry instead of going out to practice and outplaying the 2s

 

[Marqui]

This guy reminds a lot of Dorsett, too raw right now to really contribute this year. Would probably need a full offseason training with Brady to get any good.

 

[TommyD4207]

Makes too much sense to sign Dez. Hogan has been bland. Not a #1 guy and sufferes with no JE. Much better #2.
Dez can get contested balls and has a chip.
Hill to I.R McCarron to P.S. and sign Kenjon Barner(4th in punt retrun yardage.) and Dez.

There was a time when the bolded part was true. I'm not sure that's true anymore.

 

[DarrylS]

With three roster spots and a dead contract would strongly consider him... he previously had a cap hit of 1.6 million.

The question becomes, "can he take the top off of a defense"??? Never knew what that meant...

I'm not sure he can. And as far as FAs go, give me Maclin, I don't even care if he can run anymore. He can play slot and field punts. It's not like McCarron could run.

I'm way too tired this morning and read the thread title as Patriots working out Gary Coleman and thought what you talkin' 'bout Willis?

 

[Kontradiction]

Even if it's not Coleman, there's still likely to be a move made at the position with the roster spots available. It's refreshing to me to see that at least Belichick recognizes the need when so many of the "everything is wonderful" variety of homers around here were adamant that there wasn't one. Gronk simply cannot get that many targets a game and hope to last the entire season.

I would of put my house up that Mccarron was being cut when the ball bounced off his facemask.
