Coker's performance offset his bad practices.


I think Coker played well, but let's not gloss over his performance simply by looking at his numbers. Mullaney bailed him out on his first catch (ball was behind him as he was moving left to right across the field. Coker also threw behind or high on almost all the screens he threw, but the WR (or in Drake's case, the RB) made the catch. Also, on his three deep balls, he grossly under threw Stewart down the right sideline, if he leaves it out in front of Ridley in the 1st half that may have been six, and the one before the half is tough to tell if it's on him or Stewart.

Coker played well, but his receivers helped him a lot.

Oh he wasn't perfect, but I think he exceeded initial expectations considering what information we had to do go on.

His game had several faults, mentioned in another thread he was 0/2 with 2 sacks on 4 pressured drop backs to go along with aforementioned 0/3 on passes longer than 20 yards.

He played like a guy who was getting his first start. He did the easy stuff and didn't shite the bed. Numbers don't tell the story, but well on his 1st start vs a good team.
