Two BRIGHT spots from PIttsburgh game

[That Guy]

believe or not, when we got coles he could compare to ward etc, and even with the injury and tim hasslebeck throwing to him in 5 games, he still was #7 in yards last year... but its obvious that he's not nearly as fast and can't cut nearly as well as the beginning of 2003. I agree he'd be a great #2 right now, but without that surgery he's just not getting open, and with his other injuries, he can't catch as well either (when we got him he never dropped anything)... shame to see such a good player insist on playing when its obviously making his injuries worse.
