Re: I can't wait to hear the other side...
i think people are missing part of the picture of Coles. he's not necessarily upset that he's not getting the ball. people keep pointing out his 90 catches, and that he was thrown to the most in the NFC last year. he's mad because he wasn't able to stretch the field in the offense this past season, and didn't see anything changing. he also had only 1 TD, whereas Cooley and Gardner had many more.
i think it has a lot to do with his toe. he won't admit it, but he was obviously not playing at 100% last year. and since he refused to get the surgery, Gibbs saw him as a liability more than an asset. he shipped him out, got a WR of decent quality, but not the caliber that a healthy Coles is, and that is that.
Coles is being extremely childish, and the "didn't sign up for this" comment only makes matters worse. he's got the "vs. the world" complex. he took the wrap at Florida State in the foot locker scandal. he trashed the jets when they sent him here, and now he's trashing the Skins on his way back up I-95. don't let the positive comments about the Skins fool you. PR is a strong tool, and with his complex, he's trying to show that it wasn't about him. good riddance!
