Dan Coats Resigned!!!!!!

I dont mind this signing at all

First, yes, he is a good blocker with excellent strength

Second, he now has time to work on his glaring weaknesses as a receiver, and I believe he will.

Third, it is risk free. League minimum, no bonus, no loss if he is cut in camp because other players emerge.

Finally, he is a good character guy, quiet, soft-spoken, well-mannered. It doesnt hurt to have a few of those on the roster.

I know but he's just so terrible... I guess he is a good blocker, but anyone who drops every ball thrown to you in the end zone... Idk thats just not right..

I'm okay with it too, as long as Coats doesn't end up on the field next fall with passes being thrown to him.

Well, we once had this young receiver (drafted quite late, very nearly a UDCFA, as Mr Coats was) who tried really hard, but just couldnt put it all together....injuries, drops, etc. Year after year

He managed to hang on as a 5th reciever, barely making the squad year after year, but then eventually blossomed into a genuine threat.

Ladies and gents, I introduce to you: Mr TJ Houshmanzadeh

Attitude aside, I think he turned out pretty decent on the field.

While no one - myself included - is saying Coats will make the same kind of leap in production........I will be the first to call for Coat's head if he shows little or no improvement this year, but let's give him this year. He has this last opportunity to put it together. Don't forget, he lost a full year in essence when he was forced to play fullback instead of his true position.

Huge Difference !!!

TJ had some injury problems, you talk about "drops", but TJ Always had good hands...and the Staff knew that...If he didn't have good hands, they wouldn't have had him returning punts early in his career...He was just raw, being a Juco Transfer, who only played a year at Oregon State.

Coats = hands of stone (not in a good way)

True

No two people are alike

That said, the commonality here -- one you are sidestepping -- is that neither experienced early success. It took time.

Mind you, I am NOT declaring Coats a star in the making.

Not at all.

I'm just saying he has some positive qualities to build on while he works on the negatives - negatives we are all painfully aware of.

Given that he signed for minimum and can be cut at no cost at any time, why not let him try?

Can Darius Hill really be that bad ??

He was a Receiving Tight End so falls under the Foschi/Coffman ...what I still find funny is when Coats was first signed Hobson labled him more of a receiving Tight End then a blocking...Couldn't be further from the truth >_<....
