I don't like the guy - but if he came cheap I'm fine.
I'm shocked you don't like him :rolleyes:
Seriously though, what's not to like?
He's a great slot guy, fast, makes plays, he has playoff and SB experience, he'll make a great #3, and he's not going to break our bank.
What's not to like?

EXACTLY - He's a slot guy. In the mold of every receiver we already have. If he's cheap - I'm fine with it. If we had to pay him much of anything, it's a waste. I want either a big name rookie or Jacobs to play. I still feel Coles will be our #1 next year. No matter what I think he'll come back and play hard, and maybe Gibbs will work to accomidate him some.
Heard a really nasty rumor - heard Coles WANTS to go to Dallas. Just a rumor some Dallas fan told me he read. I don't believe it, but if so - burn the heretic.

Huh?
Monk was the quintessential possession WR. 6'3, 210 was big back in his playing days. WR's the size of Clark and Sanders were the norm.
Well I am not going to get into a pissing contest with you. If you say he was big then ok. I just remember attending his football camp and he didn't appear that big to me.
6'3 210 is a good size for a WR even nowadays would you agree, so yes back when Monk was in his prime he was larger than your typical WR of the day, that's all I'm saying.

i've said this in the past and i'll say it again patten reminds me of gary clark, he is a small and fast wr. not neccisarily(sp) a possesion wr but a deep threat. he averaged over 18 yards a catch.

He averaged 18 yards per catch in a DIFFERENT OFFENSE. What do you think Coles YPC would have been as a Patriot?

my point is he gets open down field. he has quickness to go with his speed , something, i think, coles did not have.

when the safeties drop down to help against the run and patten is in a one on one , patten can get open most of the time. coles was really strugling to do that .

It seems Coles has to be the man on offense, so we will probably never know what his YPC would have been with a TEAM like the Patriots. He came on with the Skins to be Spurrier's superstar, he wants out because he doesn't want to play 2nd fiddle to Portis
Coles couldn't hack it on the Pats, not enough balls to go his way, LOL
