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

wolfeskins · 03-04-2005, 12:14 AM

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

wolfeskins · 03-04-2005, 12:18 AM

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

MTK · 03-04-2005, 12:26 AM

Coles couldn't hack it on the Pats, not enough balls to go his way, LOL

offiss · 03-04-2005, 01:00 AM

Monk was defiently a big possession type reciever 6'3" and 215lbs was aa big WR back in the day, as for Patton he's more of a ricky Sander's type player he will stretch the defense. so long as his contract is reasonable I like the signing I still believe we have to go out and get that big reciever possession type reciever to give Ramsey a big target in the red zone.

The Smurfs are back!
I'm so happy to have added David Patten! I was scared with the Redskins recent past that we'd pick up Burress. Patten is a proven WR where as Burress is about as reliable as Gardner in the catch department while being quite speedy on the flats. Burress like Gardner seems to fail in properly excuting his routes consistantly. Patten can fly and will catch most balls. And what is the stat last season? 37 1st downs on 44 catches? Uh noone on our team can top that. Burress? Hell no. Patten is good person and a proven great player who we didn't have to spend ridiculous money for. He's got 3 rings, same as Gibbs. Although Patten never lost a SB. Great signing. Rabach great signing. Please sign Smoot. I just hope that Fred agrees to somewhere close to 10 million then add incentives on to make it a possible 14 million and stays in DC. I'm not surprised by Pierce going to NYG cause we couldn't afford to pay him what they did, however they paid to have the leader of Williams defense. Division rival defensive team leader... If the guy was in a wheelchair it might be advantageous to sign him! Reguardless of what Pierce spills to the enemy (by the way Pierce coulda been a Redskin for life with good money) we can still blitz Manning.

patten is seriously under rated i think, and he was the #1 WR for a while in NE last year and remained consistant whether he got the #1 or #2 CB, so i think he's probably more important than just a #2 WR.. a smurf for sure, but he can play.

jbcjr14 · 03-04-2005, 09:38 AM

Not alot of talk about this on here??? I think this is a significant addition to the team. Experience and productivity are the bright spots not too mention speed. Good possession receiver for some crossing routes.

What does everyone think?

That Guy · 03-04-2005, 09:45 AM

this is the 3rd-4th thread, general feeling is its a very very solid pickup, but we're still taking williams if he's available.

realy patten is capable of being a better #1 than a player like S. moss, but he's an excellent #2 and can provide the deep route seperation coles is no longer able to... oh yeah, he can also catch the ball, which is always a plus.

Redskins_P · 03-04-2005, 10:22 AM

Solid veteran who provides us w/ some speed.

And like That Guy pointed out....he catches the damn ball. Thats all we ask.

I disagree, we should take the best talent that is there when it is our turn to pick. We have gotten into trouble in the past when we have picked for need.
I have a feeling we will picking a defensive player (LB or CB or SS).

Redskins_P · 03-04-2005, 10:27 AM

Why would we draft defense? The obvious need are on offense. Especially a big posession WR. I agree with That Guy, if Mike Williams is still on the board at #9 we would be stupid, dumb, retarded to not draft him.

That Guy · 03-04-2005, 10:32 AM

maybe we'd consider trading down and considering defense if williams was gone... but if he's there i really can't see us passing him up.

Did you seriously just say that we would draft defense? Whatever your smoking, hook it up. And you even mentioned Strong Safety. What team are you talking about? We have the 3rd best defense, the 27th best offense, and your concerned about building the defense. What a joke.
