Like many, I assumed that Coleman will probably make the cut because he's solid enough to be a 4th or 5th receiver. TommyLee has outplayed him by far this preseason. What if we just roll with four? Cooks, Snead, Thomas, TommyLee.
We still have Fleener and Josh Hill and we've seen running backs like Spiller and Cadet line up wide. Kuhn and Ingram are also really solid in the passing game.
I guess my question is this. Assume we keep Ingram, Spiller, Lasco, Murphy, and Kuhn. Would a guy like Cadet be more valuable than Coleman? He knows the playbook, can be a rb/wr hybrid, and can also play ST.
We have so many receiving options that I don't think we have to roll with 5 this year and Coleman has been solid but not spectacular. We can get that out of Josh Hill. I think Thomas could easily take over the routes that Coleman had and handle the extra snaps.
Looking at cutting down to 53, I just don't see that Coleman has done enough to really stand out with a unique skill set and we could definitely use that spot for another player. No Coleman hate, he's been solid enough for the 5th spot but I wouldn't be surprised if we go with 4 to carry an extra guy in another position. We've never lacked in passing options for this offense!
