Corey Coleman

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Not sure what that means, but it seemed totally on him to me. Dude just couldn't catch the ball consistently. Hope it was first year jitters and he remembers how to catch this year.
Well he was only hit with 2 drops for the year, which is good. He had the lowest drop rate of any of the regulars besides Hawkins. But that catch rate of 45% was quite a bit worse than any of the other wide receivers and actually 3rd lowest in the league among WR with at least 50 targets.

Browns catch rate among their top WR targets was Hawkins at 61%, Pryor at 55%, and Coleman at 45%. Meanwhile Pittsburgh's WR caught over 61.5% percent of their balls, Cincy's caught over 64 percent, and Baltimore's averaged 60%. Our wide receivers caught just 53 percent of their targets. That's what I mean by the fault being more with the targeter rather than the targetee.

Gotcha. And makes sense. I felt like he dropped far more passes than that, but I'm going from memory. Hopefully he and our qb's both take some steps forward.

you notice that neither Pryor nor Coleman are experienced wide receivers and the one experienced wide receiver you mentioned was right at 61%.

Kessler was a very accurate passer. one of the most accurate rookie campaigns statistically.

Not to mention Coleman had an injury and didn't seem to get back on sync once he was able to return.

I wonder if that was poor route running. If he wasn't running his routes correctly, then he's going to be missed a lot -- to the point where they won't even count as drops.
 
The Corey Coleman squabble in the Dorsey thread made me want to take a closer look at WR and "busts". There was another thread where delved into it a bit more as well but looking at these guys (wide receivers drafted within 5 slots of #15 since the Browns came back) we can see that, lo and behold:

He's sitting smack in the middle of the pack late in his second injury-interrupted season. It is early. Which means he can go either way (or, in fact, stay right where he is). There's certainly time for him to blossom into an upper tier WR for this draft range. There's also time for the team to acquire more players at this position and marginalize him on this team and push his numbers down to the "bust" end of this field, particularly if Josh Gordon can stay on the straight and narrow.

By the way, if we look upthread where I complained that our wide receivers "only" caught 53% of their targets, compared to our division rivals' figures that were in the low 60s. I attributed this to poor quarterback play. This year our WR catch-per-target is just 45.6%. That is not a recipe for success.

Nice dude. Now which of these players had worse QB's throwing to them? None. Which of these players play with other threats that make them see less attention?

Theses are both reasons for optimism. Just need a QB who can throw this guy open, and a Josh Gordon on the field.

One would have thought having Gordon out there would have been beneficial for Coleman.

It's too bad he hasn't shown consistency. Would hate to use a high 2nd on a WR.
 
Corey Coleman. Great play.

I'd imagine it still very much could be beneficial for him if we can find a QB who can actually give him some consistent, quality targets. Our passing game hasn't really allowed anyone to get into any kind of a consistent rhythm from game to game, and the target quality has been pretty abysmal.
 
So is Coleman on his way to NYC tonight to...















....see the ball drop?
 
Guys it’s not the fucking easy alright

Coleman is young. He can’t just flip the switch as well as a veteran tanker can

What Coleman did today was an OUTSTANDING tank play. For 15 games we encouraged these plays. Coleman just can’t switch the flip from tank to not tank as well as some other veteran guys and that’s ok. With future tanks he will get a better feel for how to flip the switch from trying to win to trying to lose
 
It's weird.

I don't feel any sort of anger towards Coleman.

I'd rather have a guy with an attitude on this team. He knows he fucked up, and he at least showed some bizarre sense of "heart" here.

In tragic circumstances though..

This is the man that we took in the trade down. Passing on that all important franchise Quarterback in favor of extra pricks.

It's tragic all around.
 
I agree. I'm not mad a Coleman.

Every recier has the occasional drop like that. It's unfortunate for Coleman that it happened under those circumstances.
 
I'm not mad at him either. I just hope someone cuts his hands off.
