Regarding Coles and Gardner:
I think it is unrealistic to expect a WR to catch every single ball that is thrown to them that is catchable. We are all human and have bad days. Some more than others. Some might not remember but Gary Clark (one of the best WR's in Redskins history) had the same problem of dropping an occasional easy catch. He had at least one drop of an easy catch a game. My friends and I used to say, "oh good he got the drop out of the way and he will kick ass for the rest of the game."
I also think Brunell and Gardner had a lot of real game rust to shake off and it looks like they did it. Brunell missed most of last year. Gardner was ignored and hung out to dry for two years under Spurier. It looks like they shook off the rust and are ready to play well now. Plus the Dallas defense is no joke. They did well against on of the best defenses.

we need to throw him the ball early in the game even if he drops some, but he will also get some, and by the end of the game gardner will have more faith in himself which I hope and think we will get more of what we watched tonight.

That Guy, yes coles had 100 yards last week but he also droped 1 or 2 easy
passes durning the Giants geame

You can't BEGIN to put Coles in the category that some of had Gardner in. That was an ongoing problem for years. (Notice I said "WAS"). As I said earlier, "shut my mouth" about Gardner!!!

Kudos to Rod, he had a great game. Maybe he was challenged by the coaching staff this week or something....but whatever it was, keep doing it!.....and let Coles in on it! Coles had a bad game and seems to be struggling, but so far they have flip-flopped with Gardner having more catches in game 1, Coles in 2, and Rod in 3. I expect Coles to have a good game next week, and when both of them are on for the same game, watch out!
