Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

[HHURRICANE]

A guy that has sure hands and averages 900 yards a year and 5 TDs is going to make Evans a much better player.

This is the equiv of bringing in James Lofton to help out Andre Reed.

The guy is not injury prone and would be a great move for us.

FA looks much better with him on our roster.

The RG situation is down right scary and I'm no where convinced that we signed a starting Center.

Coles is a start though.

Re: Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

It would also do what none of their other moves could do....

Generate excitement and spur jersey sales. Think of all the Coles jerseys that people will buy.

Re: Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

wtf

coles is slow, short, old and weak.

he's just another josh reed only older.

why do you all want him? i'd rather have nate washington or really probably 10 other free agent receivers.

not to mention coles is a cry baby whiner.

Dolphins | Unlikely to pursue Coles
Sun, 01 Mar 2009 13:30:25 -0800
Brian Biggane, of the Palm Beach Post, reports the Miami Dolphins likely will not pursue unrestricted free-agent WR Laveranues Coles (Jets) because they do not see Coles as the No. 1 receiver they are looking for, according to a league source.

It looks as so Coles will be coming to Buffalo.

Coles may not be a dynamic receiver but he is solid, consistent and very good hands. Look at his overall body of work.

I agree. He has definitely lose some of his deep speed, but he is by no means slow. You don't go from a 4.3 to slow. He's probably a 4.5 guy at worst these days. We don't need him for that anyway. He's a consistent vet, he's tough in the middle of the field and he has good hands. That's what we need. There are others out the who I'd be happy with as well, but he certainly fits the mold in most regards.

He's also the clutch receiver that this team has been missing for years. He mades the tough catches. Hell, he has hands of glue!

I also can't wait to add him in Madden if we get him...lol

Re: Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

At this point I'm all for it...End this experiment already Mr. Wilson...

Re: Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

Coles will help. Definitely will allow other WR's to get open a little more often

but the game is won and lost in the trenches, and right now our trenches have not been addressed at a high enough level.

Re: Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

We can debate what Coles is and isn't all day, but bottom line he's better than James Hardy. Upgrading the position, especially in an organization that doesn't historically make waves....I'll take it.

It's up to him now though.

Re: Coles is a solid answer and the right move.

Ugh.

Stop already with the Coles business.

I know that he has some name recognition, and that having him will spur some kind of rivalry with the Jets, but be realistic here.

Bringing in Coles is not going to improve this offense. Its a lateral move, that adds little help to a struggling offense. I'm not sure where the hands of glue, or tough over the middle stuff is coming from. If you watch him on a regular basis, you see two things.

1.) he doesn't exploit the seams well. He is easily lost in zone coverage, especially over the middle of the field.

2. he is best, like evans, against one on one coverage. No team in this division plays man coverage. Every team will play aggressive zone against this team.

Sure he will sell some jersey's. The fans will be happy, and yes, for the first few games, it may open Evans up, but when they play a division game, watch the offense struggle. Without a receiver that has some size AND strength, this offense will crumble.
