What's up with Coates

I know he's been hurt, but he played alot on special teams. Why is he not playing at WR?
I understand the weather today wasn't great for the passing game, but still....

 

Have to concur with Elvis and Furnace. Hand issues are really crippling him right now.


A short week is not going to help either.

 

I am more worried about Justin Gilbert. After the Kansas City game game has been absent on defense in terms of his snap count.

 

4 fractured fingers is what I read somewhere.

 

Those special teams tackles have to be harder on the fingers than catching a bar?

 

It may be more so of getting Coates to find some confidence considering injuries can have that effect. If not that, I am not sure.

 

Incredible he is still even attempting to tackle.

 

Can affect tackling though if the angles being taken are not proper in fundamentals.

 

Did not state you could not. I am just hopeful that Sammie takes proper angles to the ball with his injury.

 

I agree, catching a football thrown by an NFL QB is hard on the hands fingers andust be very painful if already broken

What if we just play with pure tight ends and backs with brown only as WR. Lol




Uh oh tomlin might see this

 

remember it's not just the fractures. He had a gash in the webbing as well. That's probably affecting how he can open his hands to make catches and squeezing the ball. I'm surprised no one has gotten a picture of his hands by now. Probably, better though as they tend to keep that on the hush hush.

On the deep throw he missed in the endzone a few weeks ago (can't remember the exact game and time or I'd screen grab it), a close up showed he had his hands curled too much to make that catch cleanly.

 

Typical you always disagree with me.

 

It was against Dallas, he was held, no call.

 

He has infiltrated this site on its deepest levels and obtained moderator status just to make you miserable. LOL!

 

Ah, yes I'll look it up when I get home on GamePass.

Still looked like he was curling his hands more trying for that catch like he wasn't able to stretch his hands fully. I just remember it looking weird.

 

sry
but i thought it was against baltimore 4th qtr 5:00 left
would have tied the game

 

Fractured fingers I'm guessing. Stinks because the boy as a nose for the Go route.

 

Looked to me like he was wearing some sorta cast on his finger/hand

 

It looked pretty bulky to try catching a pass with
