Official Skins sign Patten thread (merged)

[Daseal]

He averaged 18 yards per catch in a DIFFERENT OFFENSE. What do you think Coles YPC would have been as a Patriot?

[wolfeskins]

my point is he gets open down field. he has quickness to go with his speed , something, i think, coles did not have.

[wolfeskins]

when the safeties drop down to help against the run and patten is in a one on one , patten can get open most of the time. coles was really strugling to do that .

It seems Coles has to be the man on offense, so we will probably never know what his YPC would have been with a TEAM like the Patriots. He came on with the Skins to be Spurrier's superstar, he wants out because he doesn't want to play 2nd fiddle to Portis

i agree but 18.2 is much above the average for wr, he is number 3 in yards per catch with anyone with over 40 catches. he had fewer catches but a reason for that is because he is not a number 1 and because the patriots spread the ball well.
Just for kicks and giggles the number 1 and 2 with over 40 are Ashley Lelie
and Santana Moss. Not to bad names!!
I just hope that he fits well and it seems that he is good when he gets open
