Is it safe to say that the Brandon Coleman experiment is over?

Uhhh. No. I hold my breath every time this guy runs with the ball. He's the only receiver I beg to get down as soon as he catches it. He's a fricking liability

snead would be gone also if it were up to me. through drafting/trading/free agency at least signing TWO WR's next year. This WR corps experiment needs to end.

He's literally only had 2 fumbles in his entire career. Both are from today.

He definitely doesn't play like someone that's 6'6".

He uses his size as a blocker though. That's why he's probably not going anywhere. If Snead would revert back to his old self...getting rid of Coleman would be a much easier decision.

Thomas, Coleman, & Snead have to be the best trio of blocking WR's in the league...or at least damn close to it. They make our screen game a beast.

Been saying we need a wr2 but Coleman is decent to keep around as a wr4 he s cheap runs good routes but does need to keep that ball closer to his chest.
He does it all the time

You know those big runs Kamara & Ingram have had this year? Coleman is responsible for many of those with his blocks downfield. It's like many of you watch the games yet don't pay attention to shite.

Pretty much. Considering how well he blocks & how cheap he is...he's not bad for a #4 or #5 WR.

Even though he doesn't take advantage of his size in the passing game...it does give the QB a huge target to throw to (he has long arms as well).

Hopefully the coaches fix this. They probably never addressed it in practice before b/c he's never fumbled until today. Hopefully CSP puts a huge emphasis on it this week in practice.

No I absolutely agree. He's a great run blocker. My criticism is really towards his abilities as a receiver.

Coleman set the edge on the last Kamara run.

Outside of being a huge target with long arms, he really doesn't provide much in the passing game.

We'll probably sign him to a VERY cheap contract & let him compete in the preseason. The only problem is that he's the probably the 4th best WR on our roster.

We would have to have 5 guys that are better than him on this list...He probably makes it b/c of his blocking. We also kept 6 WR's this year.
Mike Thomas
Ginn
Snead
Tommylee Lewis
Carr
Probably a draft pick or a vet F.A.
