Jets' Coles may sit out vs. Redskins with concussion

Say what you want about Coles and the way he left here, he is as tough as they come, and if he can play he will.

Coles was always one of my favorite players when he was with the team. The guy is tough and, although people said he was washed up, the guy has proven that he can still play. He's been pretty productive despite playing with guys like Bollinger and Pennington (who is efficient, but can't throw past the 1st down sticks).

I'm glad we traded him because between Coles and Gardner, the two of them couldn't catch a cold if they shared a water bottle all winter.

We complain about drops this year...we have short memories...it's NOTHING this year compared to when those two guys were our WRs. Then, there was Taylor Jacobs...

I definitely agree with regard to Gardner. But, I definitely do not agree with respect to Coles. I have every game the Redskins played during the Spurrier years on tape (prior to getting my DVD recorder) and when I watch old tapes of Coles I am always impressed. The only time Coles would drop one was when we was getting blown up and even then he would usually hand onto the ball. Does anyone remember when Coles got absolutely demolished going over the middle for a pass from Ramsey and fomer-Eagles safety Michael Lewis just trucked him? Coles caught the ball, got up, and did his signature 1st down pose.

My favorite Coles moment was when he ran down that interception in that Seattle game in 2003. It was 14-3 and that score would have put the game out of reach. Coles forced the fumble and I think we ended up scoring a TD on that drive. Wilbon wrote a column that week praising Coles as the best player on the team.
