damj Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Laverneous Coles is coming in for a visit per Russ Brandon on 103.3 ... SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damj Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Evans and Coles would be awesome!!! Git ur done Russ!!!!!!
Phlegm Alley Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I just read that along with Coles, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, former Pittsburgh G Kendall Simmons, and the Carolina OL are going to be in for a visit today.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Coles and Evans are sort of similar players though, no? I would've thought they'd look for someone with a different skill set. Still, hearing a name player is coming to town is cause for a bit of excitement.

Nice ... Fitzpatrick might be a nice option at #2, though I would prefer a more experienced back-up ...

Still, hearing a name player is coming to town is cause for a bit of excitement. Would like to see Coles in a Bills uniform. Nice for a name player, only thing is, is he using us as leverage with some other team? Hope that's not the only reason he is in for a visit.

Still, hearing a name player is coming to town is cause for a bit of excitement. Their skillset is similar, but Coles goes over the middle alot more. He'll run the short routes and work to rack up some YAC. He complained about having to do that alot in Washington though and that's when he got traded back to the Jets. I know he's a good WR, but he's been often injured and I don't know if he's really a good compliument for Evans for the long-term. He'd be better than anything we have after Evans though. <---All of the Reed supporters chime in after this statement
PIZ Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Any idea why Kendall Simmons was cut? I think he is the guy who has been battling diabetes.

Hope that's not the only reason he is in for a visit. You could be right, but ... there is a glaring need for WR here, so it's a good starting gig. I'll take it at face value.
H2o Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Any idea why Kendall Simmons was cut? I think he is the guy who has been battling diabetes. He's coming off of a ruptured achilles so Pittsburgh chose to let him go.
Phlegm Alley Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Where'd you read that? It was actually Russ Brandon talking on 103.3 the Edge.
Wooderson Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Where'd you read that? Russ Brandon was talking on 97 Rock this morning and mentioned all those names coming in to visit.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Laveranues Coles Birth Date December 29, 1977 Birth Place Jacksonville, FL Height 5-11 Weight 193 lbs. Age 31 Pronounced la-VERN-ee-us Position WR Experience 9 years 2008 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 75 | Grade indicates player is a good starter. Alert: None Comment: Coles is an eight-year veteran who has average size, but good overall athletic ability. He has decent push off the line of scrimmage with good quickness, balance and agility to be a solid route runner. He is a tough competitor who has good courage and concentration in traffic. He will extend away from his body over the middle, but may be best on perimeter patterns. He appears to have a good feel for the game and can convert routes effectively versus disguising coverages. Coles has enough speed to stretch deep zones, but isn't an explosive player. He is a well-built athlete who has some power to break tackles on the second level, but is best eluding defenders and getting upfield. He is a willing blocker, but his lack of size hinders his effectiveness. Coles is a good football player who uncharacteristically missed six games due to injury and still led the team in receiving touchdowns.
pBills Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Not sold on Coles. Does seem to be that great #2 WR to me. Good but old.
thebug Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 What's the weather like in Buffalo today....if it's anything like it is a few hours north, these boys will be heading back home pretty quick.
