Injuries???

If Coles made a couple of big catches his injury would have been a non-issue. I can't fault the guy for gutting it out, that's what players like him are gonna do. I'd rather have a team full of guys like him then guys that come out after breaking a finger nail.

of course. my point is he didnt make some big catches, dropped some easy ones and maybe thats why. so maybe it was an issue. dignity and pride arent the same thing.

I believe that Bowen tore his groin muscle, so I don't see him being able to play this week if that's the case.

The Skins site says that Bowen has a groin strain. Much better than a tear.

You bet! That's just about music to my ears now.

Seems like it was only yesterday that so many on this site (and elsewhere) were wondering why Bowen was even on the team, let alone starting

True, but I'd rather take my chances with him in the game.

Guys get banged up and play through injuries all the time, it happens in every game. Just seems a little silly to me to criticize Coles for being tough. It's not like he kept playing on a broken leg. For all we know the finger could have had nothing to do with his drops at all. After all he has dropped a few this year prior so maybe his main problem is adjusting to a new QB and getting comfortable in this system.

Or maybe the finger was the problem, who knows?
