a_good_brotha Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Pasquarelli: Paying dividends OK, so it's only two games, but maybe all those skeptics, the ones who pilloried owner Dan Snyder for writing a $13 million signing bonus check for restricted free agent wide receiver Laveranues Coles, should start preparing their apologies. In two games, Coles has 16 catches for 286 yards, and has provided coach Steve Spurrier the home run threat he lacked in 2002. Oh, yeah, in two games, Peerless Price of Atlanta has four receptions for 58 yards, and zero scores. Hear anyone dissing Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who surrendered a first-round choice to Buffalo for Price, and then paid him a $10 million signing bonus? All right, so maybe Coles won't maintain this current pace, and perhaps some secondary will actually cover the guy with a better effort than the futile one the Falcons did on Sept. 14. But it says here that, in the long run, he will be a more productive receiver than Price in 2003. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps Len is on to something in the last portion of the article. Maybe some teams's secondary will have better luck covering Coles than Atlanta and hold him to only 179 yards. Ok, but seriously I don't expect 180 yard performances from Coles but he will be a force in every game (hopefully 19 total) this season.
