Coles' toe certainly contributed to his lack of big plays.

But, by week 10, pretty much EVERYONE on this site and Gibbs himself (!!!) said he was too conservative in his play-calling. He has supposedly committed himself to "opening up of the offense" and trying to go vertical more. He said he regretted some of his decisions to remain conservative. Certainly, there were valid reasons for keeping the offense conservative (the team was learning a new offense, the QB situation was unstable, etc), but IMHO, Gibbs' playcalling was the number one reason for Coles' piss-poor ypc.
