I hope you're right. He has the athletic gifts but from comments I've read doesn't apply himself to learning routes, etc. Hopefully McD can set him on the right path. My gut reaction is it won't work out but I'd love to be wrong.

Umm, yes I have. I think we'll have Benjamin, Jones, Holmes, Streeter, Reilly, and RayRay.

I think we'll cut him

Has nothing to do with money they make. We all have the right to voice our opinions or protest regardless of economic status. Unless you don't believe in the constitution. But the owners have the right to control it in their private business. complicated issues deserve more consideration than simplistic knee jerk reactions

I don't see a perfect solution

Protests take place in as public an area as one can find to draw attention. For these players it is on the field, but it affects the owners' business, and as private business owners they have the right to set rules. They want to be sensitive to the concerns of both their players and their customers. If I'm the owners I simply don't have teams come out until after the anthem, but also give players time before or after games to meet with reporters about their social concerns.

Seems to me the best solution is to have the players come out of the locker room after the anthem is played.

Unfortunately true.

They are protesting what they perceive as unfair treatment by the police against those of color who don't make stupid amounts of money. Let's get the facts straight. I stand and would prefer the players do as well. But I know enough military guys who tell me they fought for them to have the right to protest to know there is no universal feeling on this. The owners and the league need to work out a position that works for all.

Yes. You can. And yes, the assumption that he's inaccurate is inaccurate. How many QBs in the league have pin point accuracy on throws that travel 65 yards? Answer: few if any

Are we going to have a thread every week about this for the next 15 years? Each are rookies that have played one pre-season game. Each did some good and not so good things. And in another revelation water is wet.

When he makes a mistake in a regular season game he'll get criticized. Wanting to look at guys in the preseason is what a HC should do.

It was me and they were not only looking at the punter but more importantly how the lower tier guys performed on special teams. You have no clue. You are the anti-genius.

I agree. And good football is teaching proper tackling technique, rather than using your helmet as a guided missile.

I know it's only one preseason game, but some are already anointing him as a failure despite making some good plays last night... Admit it, you're one of those who'd rather be able to come on a message board and say you were right vs. actually root for the team to succeed.

He wanted to look at his second string punter and how guys lower on the roster would do on special teams. Some folks here just get ridiculous over a preseason game

Most anyone from that era wouldn't. What the hell is the point of demeaning guys from the AFL championship era? Are you that desperate to be negative all the time?

We'll see. I'm thinking about what Albert Breer said this morning about Coleman having trouble understanding route trees. That won't endear him to Daboll either.

Induction is now over. Let's hope it's the last we have to hear from this child.

I like the trade. I just think a rookie like Foster will beat him out. Worth a 7th to take a shot but no one here should think he's an automatic upgrade given his history.

I think one of the rookies comes on (Foster most likely) and Coleman gets cut. But we'll see

Albert Beer on si.com this morning says he couldn't handle more complicated route trees in Cleveland. We'll see what happens, but if that's the issue I'd bet he gets cut.

The kid gets open and has really good hands. Keep him - him and Clay make a good combination.

He is a narcissistic child.

There is no issue. Ergo comments about it should be ignored.
