BlacksburgHokie Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 He would be a very good pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Man lets keep our fingers crossed on this one. We need a good S in the Atl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuccah Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I was posting about that for a good 2 weeks now. I would LOVE for us to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 FS Von Hutchins from the Texans is also scheduled to visit. I don't know much about him, but after looking at his stats on NFL.com, it'd be worth brining him in to compete in training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Tell me about Coleman. I don't know what kind of Safety he is. Is he a FS or SS? Can he cover well and, most importantly, can he make good, quick decisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsH8 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This dude is sorry. His stats decrease each year. This would be a bad move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacksburgHokie Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 bgarcia28 (2/29/2008)Tell me about Coleman. I don't know what kind of Safety he is. Is he a FS or SS? Can he cover well and, most importantly, can he make good, quick decisions?Here's his ESPN breakdown. He's the 9th ranked S in the NFL according to them.2007 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.Grade: 73 | KeyAlert: NoneComment: Coleman has been a solid, durable player over his three seasons in the league. He has 48 starts and has been consistently productive marking over 100 hits each season. Erik has average size for the safety position but is tough, instinctive and athletic. He reads well and is quick to fill the alley in run support. He plays with a good motor and is active to the ball. He is a solid tackler and will insert in piles. Coleman uses his hands well to separate or slip blockers to work through trash. He leverages the ball well in coverage and is best off the hash. He keeps his pads over his feet and plays with good body position on short and intermediate routes. He anticipates well to get a jump on the ball and shows good range to close effectively. Coleman has good hips and quickness to play effective man coverage versus inside receivers. He has natural ball skills and has been an effective playmaker in the Jets new defensive scheme. He has been a pleasant surprise as a solid core special teams player and starting safety after being drafted in the fifth round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1playa630 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 coleman was rated the 3rd best safety available by the sporting news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 All I know is NYJ like the guy they have behind him enough that they didnt even consider bringing Coleman back.Doesnt mean Coleman is no good, but for a team to not even consider him, he isnt great.

tnfalcon21 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 He had a great start to his career and yes has declined. I think in 2006 he had an apendectamy (spelling?) and last year i know he was out some do to a concussion. I think he would be great to bring in for the fact he has shown potential and should be fairly cheap. On the other hand the last time we dealt with a player with concussions didn't turn out well. See Bryon Scott. I definately wouldn't mind trying Coleman though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea why?ESPN hasn't updated it's rankings... I really like Erik Coleman, and he is a guy I suggested we would possibly target. He had a phenomenal rookie season under Herman Edwards, but somehow got into Mangini's doghouse, which is why he hasn't played much. I wanted Atlanta to draft him a few years ago.
