Corey Coleman can run ...

Manny in CA : 11/13/2018 12:11 am

He brims with natural ability - 4.34 forty, 40.5 inch vertical jump.

http://www.draftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=122468& draftyear=2016& genpos=WR

As a former #1, people naturally expect super performance. His problems are between his ears. He needs to understand that natural ability is only 50% of what it takes. I think that seeing a guy like OBJ (who has superior ability) WORK as hard as he does is the best thing that's ever happened to him.

If Corey get his head on straight, he can be scary good.
Yep

Speed kills. He has a lot of questions to answer, but it was a good game. He also made a nice catch in traffic and Eli put it EXACTLY where it needed to be.

That's a great mental image.

I know that Bill gave up on him in N.E., and he has to know that this is probably his last chance. He's just too good to be screwing around.

He didn’t give up on him. He was dropped for a way better receiver.

The Bills gave up on him. But Little Bill dropped him because they acquired Josh Gordon, who's a legit top 10 WR when his head is on straight and they had Edelman returning from suspension.

Obviously, you were drinking.
Bill

could have cut someone else so yes Bill gave up on him. The pats have like two wrs.
I mean the other option  
Jim in Forest Hills : 11/13/2018 8:17 am : link
Is Bennie Fowler. So not expecting too much from Coleman but looks like a dangerous KR so far. If he can work/earn his way into the lineup, that’s up to him.
Pretty strong too ...

225 lbs ... 17 reps.
I hope he starts

WR. Better than Fowler....I would think.
Would be a nice win  
Metnut : 11/13/2018 9:33 am : link
for the coaching staff if they could turn him into a productive player.

We'll have enough needs this offseason to make acquiring or drafting another WR unrealistic. Would be great of Coleman can stick.
other than OBJ and Barkley...  
BillKo : 11/13/2018 10:19 am : link
....looked like the most athletic player out there for the Jints.

Very impressed with his return ability.

Yup. I'm hoping at least one of Coleman, Davis, Henderson show enough to be 3rd/4th WR options for next season. They've got the speed, but can they do the rest?

Same on the opposite side of the field. Hopefully Haley, Lippett and/or Hamilton can develop into solid CB depth. Don't need them to be starters, but if you can get a nickel DB and/or a 3rd string outside CB out of that group it would be a big help. Along those lines, I thought Haley had a solid game yesterday.
Lil Bill did not drop him because they acquired Gordon....  
Doomster : 11/13/2018 10:56 am : link
He cut him long before they got Gordon, because he couldn't play because of a hammy....

arcarsenal : 11/13/2018 11:00 am : link
Coleman is the type of guy you want your team taking a shot on when you're lacking talent - he has plenty. The results just haven't been there yet.

He's limited as a route runner but the speed is legit and he can help stretch the field to open some stuff up underneath.

After last night, I think he earned an increased role. I'd like to see them call his number a little more.

Haha, I think we could tell. Chop avoided your wrath!
The rap on Coleman  
bigfish703 : 11/13/2018 4:32 pm : link
even back in college was that he drops passes, like EE does. I do not know whether that can be cured but he has great athletic gifts and is a blur in running back kickoffs.

It was good to see him and Quadree in there. We finally have competent kick and punt returners and that is a big deal. It can mean having to get one less first down on a drive and for an inconsistant but explosive offense like the Giants, it should enable them to score more touchdowns.

What do you think?
