    bashing cotch for his speed is kinda stupid.you can name more great wr who were nevergreat speed guys.and before anyone goes nuts i'm not comparing jc to any of these but look at jerry rice, t.o,steve largent,wayne chrebet, all guys who aren't outrunnig the whole defense but know how to run routes and where to find the openings in the d.

    You know it. From the time he was drafted I waited for that 'Fastest Man In FSU History' to show up on grass and in pads on Sunday. Coles is fast and quick, but as a football player he has never truly been a burner.

    And yet he's always been a very capable receiver in the NFL. Just goes to show that speed isn't always the driving factor in what makes a good WR.

    Exactly. I think you will find very few true-handed wideouts with blazing speed. Moss is an anomaly. Football speed is what matters, and it has far more to do with some of the other combine drills than it does with 40 time.

    Coles' success is mostly toughness and precision. He's got excellent hands and concentration and he does have a lot of quickness, he just isn't going to torch pursuers like Leon Washington can.

    Yea Jets are about to jump to the next level- What exactly is that? They are going to win five games in 2008, instead of the four they won last year.
