Ickey44 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Does this mean Coats won't be playing in the post-season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Does this mean Coats won't be playing in the post-season?One would hope,It does make me wonder though because when I saw that they IR'd Maualuga I never thought Hill would be the one promoted...So do they see something in him? Is Marvin going to force Brat to Utilize a Tight end more?(Hill was purely a receiving TE if I'm not mistaken) or did they feel he was best special teamer (which surprising because purfi did a good job on teams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I am surprised they didn't sign Purify back to the practice squad. I think he gave them some flexibility on special teams. Not sure what Hill will do for them or how it affects Coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 perhaps this is just for the week, anticipating they will give Foschi some rest? I thought I recall him having some dings over recent weeks.They already know about Purify. And they know what Coates can (or can't, as the case may be) do.Is this the week they give some real snaps to Simpson? If not, is the Simpson experiment coming to a close?

That's what I meant to say.It's gotta be frustrating for Purify knowing he's got Simpson out play-booked by a mile but can't see the field. I gotta wonder what happens to Simpson after the season. My guess is one more spring and another training camp for him and that's it. I would expect them to take a WR in one of the first few rounds too. With the loss of Henry and some many question marks at the position, I think they need to take someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he has to do is show SOMETHING, because you know the organization doesn't want to cut the guy, and admit wasting a 2nd Rd pick on him. I mean, that's the only reason he is still on the roster.
