Coke Heads Stand Up


Recommended Posts

I’m excited about XL and Coker once we get a real QB. They’ve both shown more this year than we’ve seen out of a rookie WR in a while. Maybe DJ, but other than him it’s been a LONG time. KB looked decent his rookie year on paper but Cam was force feeding him to get those stats.

I refuse to get too reactive over receivers in this joint.  But from what I've seen, he knows how to gain leverage even if a guy is stuck to him.  Works well against man.  Has made noise against decent vets.  Also has some decent short area work against zone.  Very surprised by what he's been able to do on this anemic offense.  

Given we had dibs on UDFA claims and he was our priciest signing bonus, he was basically pick 258. 

And for what we've endured all over the draft -- and tried with KB, Colbert, TMJ, Gettis, Jarrett, Pilares, Armanti, Shi, Godwin, Biddle, hell, Joe Adams, could we have finally had an okay hit on a WR that so many teams seem to figure out and we consistently miss? 

Just chuck him and XL the ball as much as we can.  Keep getting them involved - they look like they can stick around.  Would like to see what they could do in an offense that's got a bit more psaz.

Even on that second pick Bryce threw, Had that ball been thrown any higher, Coker was coming down with that ball. Coker had it in his hands reaching down and over the defender, the defender just happened to turn around at the best moment and react to the ball being thrown right at him.

Yep.

In totality, 12 rec (14 targets), 186 yards, 1td in 4 games as basically our 3rd option.  That is a super promising start, especially considering our passing game average during that stretch has been 168 yards per game.  

Some fun stats:

Coker owns ~28% of our passing yards since he started playing full games (not counting the 1 target vs. CIN. 

And that's on only 14 of 128 pass attempts this team has made -- so he's been able to account for nearly 30% of our entire passing game off of an 10.9% target share.  That's wild.  Don't know if that's more impressive for him or shows how poorly we've been throwing the ball.
