Hamilton is kinda Ok I guess. He isn't terrible but they need to get Coates confidence back. It's been almost 8 weeks since the hand injury. That has to be better. They need his long stride. Gotta get the kid going. Live with a mistake here and there.
Need to get Coates going
- Thread starter SteelerSask2
- Start date
Him and Eli, we see him make one play a game, then he's gone, seems like he disappears the rest of the game.
Yeah that 2 and 3 lack of production..... We will need that down the stretch to help with TOP/ Red zone looks.
Maybe Coates needed surgery on his fingers. Maybe it's something more. He has been dealing with the fingers for what, 8 weeks now? They should have been healed. He has been practicing in full for weeks. If his fingers are that bad, he should be resting them and not practicing in full and definitely not playing special teams. We need him as a WR first and then he can play special teams. If he truly still is dealing with broken fingers, my guess is he re-broke them once or twice while playing special teams.
Rogers and Hamilton make a decent play and then disappear for the rest of the game. No consistency. If we don't get more than Bell and AB with Green improving, our offense is still barely above average. Our O still holds too much and gets called for way to many false start and alignment penalties.

For those that don't miss Bryant, yet, I bet you're starting to now...

I think Bryant's loss cost us 1-2 games this season.
I don't think anyone was saying they don't miss Bryant, but Bryant did this himself and hurt the team, I think it's more along the "**** him" sentiment, more so than we won't miss him
Surely you jest??? Just 1-2 games??? C'mon, man!?!?!?
We had this same record last year with Bryant.

I've been missing Bryant since the minute they announced his suspension. You can't teach explosive
That being said, I agree we need Sammie going again. Before this week, our weapons were pretty much Brown, Bell, and inconsistency beyond that.
With the emergence of Green, things feel a lot better with Brown, Bell, Green, and inconsistency beyond that.
If we get Sammie going, then all of a sudden you have Brown, Bell, Green, AND Coates - four legit weapons to spread around, and all of a sudden "inconsistency beyond that" is a little better and more consistent because things are more open for them. This needs to happen

They play two different positions and it would be great to have them both clicking. Being a coach and all that I'm sure you realize more weapons are better than less

Why would anyone compare the two..they play different positions and bring something totally different to the offense..getting Coates back to where he was at the beginning of the year along with Green will make us very tough on opposing defenses

Although he had a good game, Green had 2 easy drops yesterday. So..........
James also had a bad drop. Hell so did Bell early on too.
On TV it looked like he had tons if room to run too

If any player on this team has earned a mulligan, it's Bell.

We don't have someone to replace Coates who is absolutely a lost cause on offense. I hope Brant has not lost himself and can come back to seeler land. Coates feels he is more than he has shown.
Huh?? Where has Coates said anything???
Coates is pretty much a wasted roster spot, and has been since the injury.
As ineffective as he's been - and he's not all that reliable when he isn't injured - they'd be better off putting him on IR and activating Ayers for the rest of the season.
He (Ayers) has redshirted long enough. Let's see what he can do. With the emergence of Green, Coates-for-Ayers seems like a sensible trade-off.

"Mulligan" ... Isn't that a golf term? And golf is played on greens? I'd rather not give Bell anything associated with green grass. j/k
may not even have to do that. If Boswell gets healthy, cut Bullock and give Ayers a shot. From all reports he is over his High and Low ankle sprain he suffered in training camp and is ready to roll. Hell, how much worse could he be than what has been out there so far this season....
