The second-year player earned his third career award on Sunday.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.- The Buffalo Bills may need Keon Coleman one day.
Then again, they may never need a sophomore receiver.They can certainly do without his unprofessional behavior, questionable efforts and pedestrian production.
On Sunday at Highmark Stadium, with Coleman in street clothes on the sideline, his teammates beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44-32.
Coleman isn't playing because he still uses the Bills' code of conduct like Kleenex.It was the third time in just 26 NFL games that coach Sean McDermott ruled him late for work.Three days before the important game everyone should be focused.Coleman was late for a team meeting.
Coleman is no longer a rookie, but he is still far from being a true professional.
At least there were no reporters after the game.His answer was short and far from enlightening.But he raised all the questions.
"Mistakes happen. Things happen," Coleman said in the Highmark Stadium tunnel after the game."But I have to improve."
Asked when he learned he wouldn't play, Coleman said: "I know (it's true). S—, you can't make a mistake like that in your profession."
Wednes was cheered on by his teammates in the dressing room.But Dion Dawkins, left, made it clear it was a mental mistake on the best night.Dawkins said he had Coleman's back, nobody is perfect, and advised him to take the opportunity to grow another penalty.
"He's on the hot seat right now.
Collerman supported the organization.MCEDERMOTT AND MARKIDON TO THE ELEVATORS TO THE HIGHEST PERMANENT YEARS FOR THE ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE COLLEGE-COMMENGIA SOLENEM.The Hall of Famer got and was traded, which almost recently announced that Coleman's time was coming
But it wasn't until Monday that McDermott was asked about Coleman's play-by-play performance in last week's ugly loss to the Miami Dolphins — a question McDermott called "fair" but then expressed that Coleman is on track.Coleman caught a touchdown pass during the drill, but also appeared to go all-in on some snaps.However, that is not why he was benched.He was supposed to be against the Buccaneers until he arrived late Friday night and forced McDermott to play.
Based on the brutal side.He had a happy ending, he wore a hat under a warm blanket in civilian clothes and pulled out his spillage with his submarines.ok
Coleman had a sensational spot to watch Josh Allen.Allen became the first player in NFL history to score three touchdowns and run for three touchdowns in a game.Allen was recorded by CAM CARCAWADES record for Newton's career interception and Cartago's record before Peyton Manning's 30th turnover.
Allen used nine hits to lead the Cubs to 44 points in the first 50 games.
"Tyrell" by FringE ReadEx Antiver Tyrell made it 90 yards (including lights 43 With three seconds left in the half, penalties made a good block to help slow down the set screen 52. Touching James Cook, rarely used more than this game, made three yards for 66 yards, including TDs 25. Old friend Gabo Gavis had three catches for 40 yards in his first game of the year.
You'd think it would be hard for a running back to be left out of the fun, especially when catches, yards and TDs are so difficult for Coleman.
"I wouldn't say it's difficult," Coleman said."It's disappointing. When you realize the result, that's what happened to you, so you have to be proud of your teammates and be proud of them.
A teammate who thrives is a member of Coleman's 2024 plan class.Bills Bills Sanda Cole Bishop is also drafted in the second round and has a turbulent rookie season.Bishop has an interception in his second immediately game on Sunday.He broke four Patrick Mazomes passes with three games ago to help hit the Kansas City chiefs.
The bishop leads the buffalo in walking and blocking.He is the only player in the NFL with 50 yards, three touchdowns and two sacks.
"He was playing with a lot of flying confidence. He understood where he was supposed to be when he was supposed to be there. You were talking about a player in his second half," McDermott said.
The Bishops found another weapon last month in exchange for injured safety Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin.Buffalo introduced the former captain Jordan to strengthen the defensive line, and if the wisdom Veteran filled the maturity of the bishop, the main reason is not confirmed inside.
"I see different times that people can come in, and he's one of the first to get there and one of the last to leave every day," McDermott told Bishop."So he puts in the time, and usually — maybe not right away — you see the fruits of his labor."
Players like Bishop are self-sufficient.Others may need hand-holding.
But McDermott's office is on One Bills Drive, not Sesame Street.

McMoat Boing College last year for disciplinary reasons and had to do it again in week 5.In the 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots, he was not allowed to play the first consecutive series.The bills were discouraged from jumping that night.Coleman missed only six games, but his opening possession reflected what he called "sloppy" and "bad football" and "bad offense".
Allen's absence of his most popular target (at least in the first four games; confidence has since crumbled) contributed to the disastrous start.Coleman became the second owner of Buffalo.Allen threw to him twice.The first pass would have been a tough back, but Coleman caught it.The second was a deep ball that you want to see Coleman come down on.The 6-foot-4, 215-pound former Michigan State basketball standout was largely showcased for his ability to make such plays, but struggled helplessly against 5-foot-8, 188-pound nickel back Marcus Jones.
Coleman picked up a third down and Buffalo's 10-yard gain in the New England game.
The next day, McDermott admitted that Coleman "has shown growth this year".
If so, how are most of the players who have been around the last two years?
The price of the arrow in the spring, but made exchange back to the leader.Their postseason rivals selected SpeedSter Xavier Worthy, who was a rookie of the year, as a rusher for 287 yards and three touchdowns.A furnace after Coleman was chosen by the charges, Los Angeles death victims noted Madrogers Ladd McConkey.All in all he has caught 82 passes for 1,149 yards and seven TDs, and then had nine receptions for 197 yards and one TD in his playoff games.
Coleman didn't stand out on a list last year in which Mack Hollins led the team with five receiving touchdowns.
For Coleman, it's the third game you've had the Jaguars' opening day seal in Jackson in the last year.
Beane, after the season, was critical of how Coleman failed to upset the injury.On the day, including the playoffs, he had three receptions on eight targets for 22 yards.
"I was probably a bit disappointed with the injury response.
This year, Coleman has 32 catches for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 71 percent of the snaps through nine games.
The darker's darken chroton krankid to be viewed to beaney for a gentle of the nfl for a good one.
KincAID seems to have digested that constructive criticism.He missed Sunday with a hamstring injury but was Allen's most explosive purpose with 29 receptions, 448 yards and four touchdowns despite playing only 42 percent of the offensive snaps.
Over these past three months, Kincaid has forged a deeper trust with Allen and offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Coleman, meanwhile, continues to show unreliable tendencies.
“I think he’ll learn from this,” McDermott said of Coleman’s recent replacement."He takes this seriously and will move forward in a way that grows from this. That's the point."
Coleman said he didn't know if he would play Thursday night against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.
Given how well he's played without him, McDermotmott doesn't want to talk about when the young receiver is likely to return to the field.
Mcdermott can wait to see if Coleman makes Wednesday's flight to Houston before making a decision.
