Sammie Coates

The flashes we've seen of this guy in the AFC divisional game gives me bright hopes for him. He's very fast, can catch the ball and has some good size in him. The only work I see him needing is footwork and route running. Besides that, I can easily see him talking over the 2nd WR slot right beside Antonio Brown.

 

Coates has potential, but I don't see him being #2 WR this year.

 

Coates really needs to come into this training camp prepared and IN SHAPE.

Coach T called him out last year about being in shape. We need production from

Coates and DHB about 60 catches need to come from this position.

 

i like coates but i'm not sure all that production will come from him this year. we'll need a good year from DHB too.

 

I feel the same way. I think Coates comes in dedicated and ready for the challenge. And succeeds.

 

I think a saw a projected stat from PWP that had DHB on pace for 3,000 catches this year. So we should be good.

 

Going into the draft he was compared with Martavis Bryant: But with a year under his belt he should be ready to stretch the field big time this year:

BOTTOM LINE
Big, fast and raw. Vertical wide receiver with the ability to hit big plays and have dominant games. Coates must be coached to trust his quarterback and run through his deep routes in order to reach his potential. He has early round traits and late-round receiving skills right now, but the upside will be hard to pass on and could pay off in a big way. He will be tethered to the JUGS machine in rookie camp.

 

Coates could be a boon in the red zone. With no Heath, we need a big red zone target.

 

Ladarius Green 6'-6"

 

That doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy

 

Compared athleticism wise but without the character red flags.

 

Dude, I uniquely know about Green. I've been watching him here on the West Coast for two years. But having a big WR WITH Green is huge for Ben. Keeping those defenses honest in covering AB.

 

You just made me laugh. I think that is the first time I have ever been called "Dude".

 

i guess thats better than dud jeh.

 

AWESOME

 

JUGS machine?

 

Nah I call everybody dude so I'm sure I've done it at some point. Lol.

 

"You may be seated, dudes."

 

That's it?

 

I think Bryant saved dhb's job. They were not going to resign him with brown,Wheaton,Bryant and Coates waiting in the wing. But by Bryant, weeding it up, then he was re signed. I even think we have another potential on the practice squad that could take dhb's spot

 

I think he'll do fine in his new expanded role. Anyone else think his name sounds like an old gangster (not gangsta) name? Better call Sammie Coates in for this!

 

I dunno. I'm not going to dub him the second coming, but he brings more to the table than he's given credit for. I think the coaches wanted to keep him round another year at least, regardless of MB.

 

Not much of a salary cap guru but if we can afford it, Roddy White would be nice in a 1-2yr deal. He could be the alternative of drafting a WR in the 3rd or 4th round

 

Coates even stated he was not in NFL shape, he will be this year no doubt about it.
