Positives & Negatives: Coles' release

[CooleyAsCanBe]

Positive: I understand that Coles had a finger injury this past season, but didn't anyone else feel he was dropping an alarmingly high number of catchable balls? If he had been a few inches taller I would have sworn he was Gardner on some of those plays. Coles has been one of my favorite players over the past few seasons, but he is far from healthy and seemingly on the decline. He was supposed to stretch the field, but his toe hasn't allowed him to maintain the same speed that got us all so excited when he was brought here initially. I'll be sad to see him go, but I don't believe he would have been a #1 receiver on many other teams the way he played last season.
