So he hasn't been playing because of an injury yet he can run down the field and tackle just fine on ST. Go find another article to tell you your opinion and then come back and talk out of your *** some more.
Is a good backup really that hard to find?

Tackling and catching a 50-60 mph pass are two different things. Which is why he has really only been getting deep passes which arent coming in hard and fast. Which is why he can catch kickoffs
And when I post a article I'm usually backing up something I already said on here. You know backing up my bullshit. With something that supports my opinion or video supporting it..not some dumb **** like I can see all the wrs routes from the broad cast angle during the game

So wrapping up, grabbing, and holding onto someone is no issue for broken fingers...The reason he has only seen deep passes is that his route running does not allow him to get separation from the defender.
"It's the fact he's got two broken fingers on one hand," Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said . "It doesn't limit him from a special-teams standpoint, as you can reference his three special-teams tackles, but it does make it increasingly difficult to catch the football. He's healthy enough to play; he just can't catch the ball as cleanly with two broken fingers."
The ring finger is splinted and the index finger bandaged on Coates' left hand. But Coates isn't asking to wait until he's fully healthy to play. Against the Browns, Coates made three tackles while on the field for 15 special-teams plays, and Pro Football Focus chose him as the top special-teams performer in the NFL for Week 11 of the season.
"My legs are fine," Coates said . "I can still help the team win. I'm going to go out there and do what I can. You're going to have injuries you can fight through. It's all about how you overcome it. I just have to be consistent at practice. If you're fighting an injury, you have to be consistent for them to."

Based on what I see when I watch the games is Coates is a somewhat sloppy route runner. AB is amazingly crisp, the way it should be, when he runs a route. Very seldom do you see Sammy juking anyone out of their socks. Eli Rogers has pretty good route running skills and I feel they are superior to S.Coates'. Initially Coats wasn't playing due to hand injury but now I think it is due to laziness or pour preperation. Ben R. Is never going to say negative about a fellow player so what he is saying is player speak, similar to coaches speak. I do watch the "COACHES" version some of the time and this is the opinion I have formed. Take it for what it's worth.

They are both superior route runners to Coates that's goes with out saying. We are talking about Coates routinely not running routes and not being where he should be and that those reason are related to why he isnt playing.

DUDE, this is a message board, let me state my opinions the way I see them, wheather it fits into your conversation or not. Sorry but it is what it is....................... carry on O'l chap.
Not sure where I wasn't letting you state your opinion but OK
Bull, that was a **** route, that he totally rounded off, that's why Ben was so pissed at him, even the announcer who knows more than both of us combined said as much.
Diver, Ben said after the Ravens game that he wanted to go to the up tempo offense earlier than they did, but they wanted to stick to their game plan, if Ben has control why didn't they go to that offense when he wanted to?

That's the play right there and Ben did not say anything to Coates after the play. Usually if he isn't on the same page with Receiver he will point where he wanted them to go.

Playing our defense is a really nice ego boost for most QBs
