A consummate pro plays great football. Talking ti the press only matters to the press and the fans. I’ll take a crybaby who plays great (Coles) over a good natured, consummate pro (McCariens, anyone) any day of the week.

dak,

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Leon take over as the primary ball carrier at some point this year.

Coles is still a good palyer, and will give 100% for the team. He and Cotchery make two very good WR’s, maybe even top 10 in the league. I think they will both have terrific years with Favre as the QB.

we have2 #1 recievers…there both good and the rest of our group makes the unit even better…

I think Coles is still very good. As for his sitting out thus far through training camp, its pretty normal for older guys who have some wear and tear on them (this guy has been catching our beloved CP’s passes for years!).

All over the NFL, older guys milk injuries to avoid the rigors of training camp. Either he is doing that, or it makes the most sense for him to avoid additional wear and tear.

The guy is the consummate professional and his skills include great coaching points of emphasis like running great routes, great footwork, catching the ball with proper form, etc. He’ll be fine!

think about it this guy did pretty good with a avg. armed QB and a QB who had the arm but didnt know what to do with it , and now all cotchery has got to do is play like he did last year , oh by the way coles was injured so almost everyone payed attention to this guy because he was the only threat , no they get coles back and all these other young and talented WR/TE

I agree with Reprocity on that people shouldn’t be giving up on Coles. Just because he hasn’t played in a while doesn’t mean he wont be just as good as Cotchery. If anyone rembers the Giants game he caught some ridiculous balls, plus the 60 yard catch against the Steelers and the 56-yard TD from Chad against the Bengals showing he can still catch the long ball even though he is a tremendous possesion receiver.

Coles missed some games for the first time last year… I think he’s proven he’s durable. I like debating as to which two really good receivers is #1. It’s like watching a miss America pagent and wondering who’s hotter. Even with Faneca though I think we still need to pass to set up the run :(

I’m looking for Cotchery to turn it up to 11 this season!!!
