Video: Keon Coleman explains what he was mentally going through post injury

Stop being a pansy and just play football Keon.

I feel like his verbiage doesn’t match up with the feedback McBean gave. 
 

He’s saying the offensive rhythm changed and that was tough to adjust to post injury. 
 

McBean seemed to almost be critical of his effort or preparation. 

[Don Otreply]

Just a young guy learning how the pro game works, and what he needs to wrap his mind around to regain his previous role / success on the offense, imo, that role is well within grasp for him, again, just a young guy learning the ropes…,

Some of you are absolutely brutal lol. 
 

Professional sports isn’t as easy as “strap ‘em up”

Every time he opens his mouth, I like him less; and I'm not a "shut up and play ball" guy.

I almost wonder if Keon became a little disgruntled, because he was on his way to having a good season, and when he got back, the offense had somewhat changed, where they weren’t relying on him as much…

I don’t have any idea who those people are, other than Keon, or what that was, some podcast? That being said, I like Keon’s attitude. The Bills offense adjusted to being without him and was clicking. When he came back he didn’t whine about a diminished role, because he just wants to win. Am I missing something?

I think Keon comes across as almost over confident.   As though he thinks he can dominate out there without much extra work or effort.   Hopefully the back half of last season has taught him that there is indeed a learning curve for the NFL, no matter how good you think you are.

Well, if he was disgruntled, it wasn’t known to the public…But perhaps he showed it more, behind the scenes, leading McBeane to say ehey did…

It’s funny, I feel the same way every time you post.

The guy in the red hat is retired NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony.

Thanks, I stopped watching the NBA about 20 years ago.

Kind of bizarre that he goes on some podcast and gets slobbered over how mature he was dealing with his injury when McBeane have publicly stated the opposite. Coleman had every opportunity to correct the podcasters and say he had some growing up to do but instead took their praise in stride.  Shows a lack of maturity on Coleman’s part and lack of any prep work by the podcasters.

There are far too many podcasts on the internet nowadays....call me a boomer at age 30 but jfc

He basically said the offense changed/adjusted, and he failed to adjust with it. The sooner he understands it's a week to week league, the better he'll be. I thought it was an open honest answer. He didn't bash the organization or the offense, he just showed that he's still green.

[Brand J]

A veteran, WR John Brown, said the same when he came back after his injury. He had to find the confidence he had before he was injured because the offense was moving well without him. He had to find where he fit in again.
 

I will echo that Keon’s hunger seemed A LOT less post injury. Almost like he was going through the motions versus actively trying to make a name for himself. You can’t teach effort or heart, so while he was upset that he was no longer as big a part of the offense as he was, he still had to make the most of the opportunities that did come his way and he didn’t do that.

I take it you didn't watch the video as their was nothing he said that was "pansy", in fact, it was all the right things you want to hear, unselfish attitude, winning is the priority, not his targets, etc.

I’m not sure how someone watches this clip and views it negatively, he admits he had some lessons to learn and seems to have come out the other end having gained valuable knowledge.

 

 I’m not sure how good he’ll end up being, but I’m not worried about his maturity or work ethic at this point, let’s see how year two plays out.
