Coleman is doing it all.


Recommended Posts

He’s dropped a couple of absolute gimme’s that I’m sure he’d want back. 
But man. Some of the catches he’s made outside of that are top level. Seattle showcased multiple. 
 

Looks to be an incredible talent when it comes 100% together if this is his rookie growing pains lol

The jump ball skill was always there; in fact many at the training camp everyone saw it daily. It is just a matter of time that Josh and Keon are developing more trust, ball location, right ball height etc. to make it more into what Josh said in camp: "more of 73-30 or 80-20 ball" because ... remember the ball is not a random bounce of the ring or backboard like in basketball, we have a actually guy throwing the ball up there, especially in short yardage area where the defender has less time to react for proper positioning to defend whereas the receiver and QB may have pre-set idea where the jump point will be. I will add that the Bills never had a guy like that, not even Moulds.

 

What is surprising to me is his strength in running thru defenders. The video below does not show the Coleman side - basically he fought thru the defender on his left, causing him to stumble and fall, making himself wide open. And this is not the first time this season.

Against smaller defender, this might be his calling card

 

 

I see some trends developing for his separation traits. Remember it's only 8 games in his career. 

 

On the negative side, I see his use of his right hand is much much better than his left hand for controlling the ball. When he's on the left side of the offense, he generally twist his body clock-wise to catch the ball with both hands whereas in that TD against Seahawks, his natural extension of the right arm and hand can bring the ball in. These details won't go un-noticed by defensive coordinators and CBs. People may defend him a little differently now that he's being noticed in the league.

That’s a long list lol and what is hilarious is that some of them are trying to gloat about their negative takes on the WRs being right because of the Cooper trade while ignoring how wrong they were on Keon (and some of them on Shakir too).  
 

Selective and cherry picking memories some people have lol

He has a lot to learn and he needs to get better. But for me what I feel I've seen at this level of play is the unequivocal confirmation that in terms of physical ability the potential is there for sure. He appears to have successfully negotiated the big gap between  college ball and the pros, which is what you rarely know for sure when you draft but absolutely need to see. And he's done it quickly. Add to that his good attitude and what I suspect is above average maturity (for a 20 year old) and intelligence and the ceiling is high for him as an impactful player.

What is also great is it won't be so easy to shut him down in the playoffs, when top defenses are holding every play. He is too big and plays too strong.

 

Yes playoff football is why he was my #1 target for the Bills. I was so sick of watching WRs like Stefon Diggs and John Brown get shut down by physical DBs in the playoffs when officials keep their flags tucked away. Small WRs get bullied in the playoffs. Finally we got a WR that is the bully.

Take your pick. It was all the usual suspects who complain about everything the team does and doesn't do.

I need to know who this is.


I was actually thinking about you during the game as I knew you were there. I looked for you in the crowd but didn’t see any #8 Donahoe era jersey’s that were tucked in.

He's really a perfect receiver for the Bills, and for Allen.  I love how Allen can throw it to him even when he's pretty covered and he just fights for the ball & gets it. Allen needed a guy like that.

 

The meltdowns here & nationally on draft day are getting more silly by the week.  I still see opposing fans say "the Bills gave KC Worthy."  Only if we were going to pick him - which we weren't. And he's not playing like a 1st round talent anyway.

He is definitely 1/11 th of the equation . I think when the D gets all of their starters back they will be even more dangerous than they are now & a much bigger problem for Mahomes and company .


 Chiefs get some guys back too. Pacheco, Rasheed Rice, possibly Hollywood Brown. They too will be problems for the Bills.

Josh trusts him and his confidence is growing. Great pick and he is still very young. Just wished we had the 5th year option for him. 

I don't know how someone could "thumbs down" such an innocuous comment like the one you posted. I think you make a good point about the 5th year option. The hope now is that DeWayne Carter and SVPG will be worth losing that 5th year option. Those are the guys we picked up by moving down. Carter was starting to look good before his injury.
