So are the Bengals not happy with Coats?

Rumor has it, that they made a run at TE Bennett of Dallas.

can't drop TDs like Coats has this year and remain out of the dog house

Didn't he drop a couple significant passes recently? He had 4 or 5 catches in their last game, but I know he has had some problems with drops.

At the rate the cowboys are using Bennett, a swap for Coats and a premium pick would have been a good trade. I just don't think cincy wanted to go that far.

No. They're not happy with him. He's dropped four or five TD passes in the past couple of seasons and had a bad fumble last week.

Yep. The Bengals have good reason to want to upgrade at TE. I hope Coats can snap out of it, but so far he has made too many mistakes.

I hope he keeps sucking.

Hasn't Coats always had this problem? I seem to remember his QB's at BYU losing confidence in him because of dropped passes.

He actually had great hands in HS and his freshman year at BYU. Then he got a case of the dropsies, and couldn't shake it. By the time he was a senior, he was pretty consistent again, but the bad-hands perception was already cemented.

For all the pub Harline got, I seem to remember him dropping as many as Coats. But then, Harline had a tendency to catch the ball at his chest/stomach rather than use his hands.

coats was the one who killed the utes a few years ago, not that harline guy... there was one drive where he made 4 or 5 big catches. too bad he's having trouble.
