When the Buffalo Bills performed the Houston Texans on Thursday night time they did so with out the companies of second-year large receiver Keon Coleman. Coleman was a wholesome scratch for the second consecutive sport, and he appears to be in a really deep doghouse with the teaching workers and the group as a complete.
You recognize it’s dangerous given how desperately the Payments want playmakers from their large receiver place, and the actual fact Coleman is a gifted participant that was a second-round choose only a yr in the past. They anticipated him to be a serious contributor, and now don’t even belief him sufficient to decorate him for large video games late within the season.
It now leaves the Payments and their younger large receiver at an early profession crossroads.
Can Keon Coleman rebuild his profession with the Payments?
Whereas it is likely to be untimely to begin writing Coleman off as ever being a serious contributor with the Payments, it’s a query that at the least must be requested at this level. When he has been on the sphere he hasn’t at all times given them massive manufacturing.
Getting into Week 12 he has simply 61 catches and 886 yards and 7 touchdowns in his first year-and-a-half within the league. It is nice, however not precisely something that makes a serious distinction. Now he has put himself within the group’s doghouse, and was pretty strongly called out by one of the team’s leaders following their Week 11 sport (his first wholesome scratch of the season).
These aren’t precisely encouraging indicators this far right into a participant’s profession.
On one hand, the Payments are most likely not ready to surrender on a gifted large receiver. They want extra of them. Not loss. There would even be no actual profit to making an attempt to commerce him this offseason as a result of his worth might be as little as it may probably get.
However it is usually true that generally gamers want a wake-up name, and even perhaps a change of surroundings to completely determine issues out and attain their full potential.
George Pickens wanted a commerce from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys after wildly irritating his former group.
Is Coleman in an identical scenario?
The Payments should hope that he will get the wake-up name earlier than it involves that. As a result of if he’s going to determine all of it out, put every part collectively and attain his potential they will need it to be for him and never someone else.
