It cannot be overstated how lucky Bills fans are to have Cover 1 doing these player breakdowns, and always in proper context. Best in the business! Appreciate all of you guys
Thanks brother!!
Definitely agree
🙏🙏
4,000 times better then Buffalo Plus!
Absolutely true
He got injured mid season and tuffed it out for the team until the end. Healthy Keon Coleman is a #1 receiver
Injury prone and slow

Seeing pancake blocks from a WR makes me so happy this guy is a Bill. You block because you want your team and teammates to win.
Masterful breakdown Erik. But If this hits, the Allen to Coleman show will be a feature film every fall and winter Sunday. Go Bills.
Lets go!
Ur right, staff are betting on their ability to mold a player like they did with JA. Most polarizing player since JA. If they do it right, he might be megatron
Lots of people were doubting the JA pick too and look how that turned out.
👍👍
That’s a good first year nickname. “Maybe Megatron”
Shoot, I'd be happy with a bit of Anquan Boldin
That’s what I’m talking bout. It’s on Joe Brady and his offensive staff to scheme Coleman up. If they don’t f*** that up, the kid will have a 1000 yds his rookie season. KC can be nasty in the run game and an assassin in the passing game. Plus, he love playing in the bright lights; the game nor moment will not be too big for him. He’s everything Josh needs as his WR1. I understand why #17 really wanted this dude.
We have Shakir & Kincaid along w Cook. Just sub par coaching is necessary. Watch we will be the surprise this yr. Allen wout the mental drag of Diggs should also be huge
Agreed, I’m guessing Diggs will have a similar year to last season. Stroud is good but no Allen and Diggs is just that much older now…. Now Allen can spread the ball around and not worry about someone getting mad that he’s not forcing it to them.
This breakdown is amazing..
Thank you!
You can tell he is a quick thinker. Processing defenders at a high tempo will add to game speed.
his ability to contort his body is insane
Ant and Erik’s Film Breakdowns are some of the best on RUclips. Why? Because they focus on tape, use stats that aren’t cherry picked, and focuses on not just abilities of a player but scheme and fit.

Appreciate the kind words!
The Bills will have no problem teaching route running.
They lost in the playoffs because they didn’t have
A. an answer for Kelce at LB and safety (devastating injuries and Hyde particularly regressed)
B. A deep receiver capable of catching the ball when covered on vertical routes and seam routes. That requires size, length, body control and exceptional strength.
Gabe Davis was their guy, who was frankly a mediocre receiver, but had the requisite size, length, toughness to be good enough for Allen. He was injured. Stefon Diggs is a good receiver, but has always had exploitable weaknesses in this area (size, burst and strength). Always, he’s been paired with an Adam Thielen or Gabe Davis, who act as a pressure release valve for him. And now, he’s slower than he was in his prime.
The Bills addressed both problems. Frankly, I think they and the Chargers had the best drafts.
Cole Bishop has the size, strength, IQ, and aggression to be a versatile weapon against the run, pressuring the QB, and covering big, athletic ends. Frankly, you never see safeties this polished out of college, especially with this size, and his role at Utah displayed the rare versatility that Buffalo demands of their defensive backs. Great covering the slot too.
Coleman is a similarly great fit. Route running is a skill, not a static, God-given attribute. It can be developed.
In terms of tools, Coleman is far underrated. One of the biggest, strongest, longest, receivers in this gifted class, and he comes with leaping ability, body control and catch radius. You see his power in his blocking, and 180lb, 5’11” corners just won’t have an answer.
He has the big, strong hands to excel in Buffalo conditions, the size, strength and athleticism to catch the ball when covered. And yeah, on 50-50 balls, they’re not all created equal. Like all passes, timing, placement, coverage matter. Josh can go over the top for better than most QBs, especially the short ones.
Coleman will be the brute force, get out of jail free card, close, and long. Samuel, Shakir, and Kincaid, provide a complete picture of the passing game. You have a full toolset of receivers now, for every route, every situation.
Lastly, Ray Davis was a great pick. He’s one of the shiftiest, most polished running backs in this draft, and should find gaps effectively. Solid pass receiver, but his running style should supplement Cook well. Racks up yards after contact and has excelled, even with suspect blocking-particularly at Vandy.
What do you think Colemans’s chances are of actually becoming a legit #1 receiver? It seems like Coleman could become very good
@@Freedom_is_essential1 better than any X remaining on the board, in the most talented WR class I’ve ever seen. Love Roman Wilson, Ladd, Malik, but in Buffalo, in that weather, run blocking, with a role that emphasizes excelling downfield, body control, hands most of all-KC is by far the guy to bet on in my opinion. Pretty much any other year, he’s gone in the top 20-25 picks.
As an evaluator in a different sport, I’ll tell you the odds are low overall. Without being an insider in this league it’s difficult to predict without their data, interviews and looks. However in Coleman’s specific case, he possesses the key attributes to be an average or better outside receiver in the NFL, with no. 1 upside a la George Pickens.
Of course, it’s not a finished product. He has the attributes you can’t develop knocked, and promise, but unpolished skills. If they develop him, and he possesses the makeup, you have George Pickens or maybe Mike Thomas straight up negating coverage. If not, I think the middle-distribution chance falls around Gabe Davis land. A great fit in a role Buffalo badly needs to complete their WR corps right now. So to me, it’s a win-win. You accomplish the rare feat of getting both ceiling and floor that fit your needs, and projected return I wouldn’t expect outside of the first round.
@@BasicBobby that is a very thorough and well thought out answer. Thank you. I’ll take that all day!
@@Freedom_is_essential1I think the chance is like 85%. Allen needs a big #1 receiver to bail him out.. Diggs was just too small to be that. I think Shakir will fill in for what Diggs was and he will be that #2 smaller guy that can be moved in and out of the slot a ton. Think of Coleman as a slightly taller Dez Bryant. That’s how I see him. He’s going to be lethal in the deep ball game and the red zone. 6’0 -6’1 CBs are just not going to be able to compete 1vs1 with him even if they are right on his ass with tight coverage. He will be able to reach up for the ball and haul it in leaving the CB forced to just make a tackle and not let him get RAC yards. Extremely exited to see it play out. ♥️💙🦬
@@th3w1ldrov3r_ I will take that all day! I have a pretty good feeling about Coleman. Im bullish on Shakir too
The breakdown we've all been waiting for. ALWAYS look forward to Erik's deep dives in the offseason.
Thank youn
Great breakdown! I appreciated how you both express your concerns with the fit, while also highlighting the strengths Coleman brings to the table.
Thanks for checking it out
Erik killing it as always.
Wow! Such a great video.. thanks guys!
Great breakdown. Thanks
Great breakdown 🔥
Great breakdown (as always). Can the season start now please?! 🙏
Great video, Eric. Thank you!!
Thank you!
Thank you! This is such a grounded, realistic evaluation.
You're very welcome!
Great analysis, Erik! Definitely look up to C1 as the best channel in the biz!
Thank you!
Great breakdown, Erik!
Thank you
That was awesome. Thank you.
This was flipping AWSOME bro, just popped up in my timeline
Thank you!
That blocking is super impressive, love it
Great stuff, Erik!
Thanks!
Good Video!!!
Hope it works out. I didn't really expect the pick, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
He's gonna be a solid #1
Excellent and fair breakdown I think. I am curious about how "contested" catches are defined for that number, specifically if they are adjusted situationally.
I watched a cutup of all his FSU targets and saw 6-7 catches where he was fighting through two or three defenders. There was another 3-4 plays where the ball is thrown at the defenders back and he would have had to climb over the defender to catch it. They were contested catches, but I wouldn't call them 50-50 balls. If Coleman comes down with them, that's a spectacular play. If those are counted, then that is a third of his contested catches last year.
Admittedly I'm watching semi-blurry TV footage, so I could be missing other context!
Good stuff, hate when people only mention good stuff, and don't mention things players need to work on. I play, and criticism is the best way to learn. He's gonna be a stud, and Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson were developed under Joe Brady at LSU. If he can make a super team in college, he can do so in the NFL
Jordan Travis getting injured slowed down his production would have had a thousand yards by the end of the season
Been waiting for this for WEEKS (it feels like)
My question is why would any team put a safety over the top against us? Why would any team not bring a safety up into a hook zone and force Coleman to beat you overthe top?
Should be really interesting to see how he fits in. I don't expect him to get many snaps early on, but I'm optimistic they'll groom him into a very good WR and he's going to get better as the season goes on.
are you serious, he has to get snaps early on. there's literally nobody else. the most seasoned WR on the team is Curtis Samuel who was Washington's #3.
HERE WE GO! :D
I don't get trading out of the first all together. They didn't get much in return, and lost the 5th year option on Coleman's rookie deal. I'm guessing Beane thought someone would covet the first pick of day 2 and offer him a bag to move back, but that never materialized. That's the only scenario that makes sense to me.
We found our number 1 receiver. I bet he’s even going to be a captain this year.
I hated this pick initially but I’ve gotten on board since. He has eerily similar size and speed to Drake London and he had the same issues with separation but he’s managed to be a productive WR in the NFL despite having terrible QBs passing to him.
Bills and noles fan. He looked like the best player on the field when fsu played all the lsu first rounders. Definitely a play maker. Maybe like Tee Higgins
his blocking is going to open up for kincaid, cook and knox
It’s on Joe Brady and his offensive staff to scheme Coleman up. If they don’t f*** that up, the kid will have a 1000 yds his rookie season. KC can be nasty in the run game and an assassin in the passing game. Plus, he love playing in the bright lights; the game nor moment will not be too big for him. He’s everything Josh needs as his WR1. I understand why #17 really wanted this dude.
14:56 Catches a poorly thrown ball mid air, momentum directed towards the sideline. Hits the dirt with both feet, plants on the spot, twitches the defender and slips a tackle, accelerates, and then hurdles the next defender.
That's why he got drafted by the Bills.
Outrageous.
I’m a fucking jet fan and hate how they have Keon. He’s a good dude and a stud. He’s gonna ball out in the nfl and an immediate wr1 in the nfl. I hope I’m wrong but I’m not
I'm sure the S&C coaches can clean up his footwork and make him faster. Everyone can get faster by improving their mechanics. I remember Josh's running mechanics were terrible at the combine. His arm swings were asymmetrical and inefficient...I no longer see that when he runs...then again, he always has the ball in one hand. If Keon ran .15 sec faster in the 40, he would have been top 4. Part of his problem is his long inefficient arm swing. If he can be re-programmed to pump the arms faster and with less swing, concentrating on forcing the hands down with velocity, he will naturally get faster. Sprinters are taught this. By making your arms pump faster, your legs naturally go faster. Then, the burst from the calves is another area that can me improved upon. Quick twitch exercises will give him more explosive spring in his feet.
Speed isn't a concern imo. Nobody was saying he lacked speed before he ran a poor 40 then people decided that he was magically slow, even though he ran a solid 40 (4.53) at his pro day. His game speed is quite good for his size
I’m optimistic
Is it possible for Keon to improve his footwork and route running enough that he can win with speed? Im just trying to guage what he would be like if the Bills can develop the most out of him.
Gotta remember he is only 20. He’s got a few years to get to his peak athleticism. And pro coaches will clean up the footwork and route running
PLEASE make sure to leave a like on this video if you enjoyed it, it helps the channel get more exposure!
Thank you!
Man really punched something at 2:38, all for the dedication to his craft 😅
Thanks for this. Still think he's a bust waiting to happen, but I've been wrong before. Go Bills.
Go bills
I thought for sure that the Bills were going to take Adonai Mitchell. I thought it was the correct choice. I'll be happy to be proved wrong.
@Cover1 - Will NFL refs whistle Coleman for his bullying after the first 5 yards in the route?
Is trading down twice before picking him really betting big?
Since when isn't trading down risky?
Using the 33rd overall pick on someone is betting big
I do want to see Coleman develop his ability to separate, but I think the point of getting him is to get Josh more comfortable throwing contested balls. He really won't do it because he only needs you open for an instant and he has the arm to put it there now. But he has said he wants to throw people open and hit people more in stride, which is all part of throwing contested balls. This is as much about pushing Josh to develop those final weaknesses in his game as much as hoping Coleman develops better separation.
So what do you think Coleman’s chances are of being a good #1 WR?
If he’s not separating at college level, he’s not doing that at nfl level. Contested catch ability” is a euphemism for can’t separate.
And do you really want your QB throwing into tight coverage anyway?
@@markb3786 exactly, looks great on ESPN when it works out, but in reality, QBs go to the next read because it’s too risky.
I hated the pick on Friday night but I actually feel better the more I see. I don't think that Coleman is going for 1K yards this year but as you mentioned, the gravity is something we need. Brady was able to do work with condensed formations on the strong side to avoid press coverage. If Coleman is bringing a safety down to contain because he can bulldoze or box out an opponents CB2, I am confident that one of Shakir, Samuel and Kincaid can win one one one
Can you guys/have you done breakdowns on the condensed formations we saw? Ben Johnson used them in Detroit and I kind of see the pieces for a SF/Detroit heavy attack this year
Beane never gives Allen enough help, before we know it Allen going to retire and the most dynamic qb we ever had will be wasted by not surrounding him with any real talent….1WR not enough to win a championship in this league, Beane fails year after year to get Allen enough help and when Allen retires and bills still have no superbowl we can all solely blaim Beane … hard truths
I don't see Josh throwing to Coleman with a corner stuck to his hip.
I am not convinced he was the right draft pick. He cannot get open good enough and to me that is a huge problem. I am afraid that at best he’ll give us a good game here and there but disappear for a stretch of games due to the lack of good route running. Doesn’t that sound familiar? I love to be wrong and see him shine, or at least show us flashes and develop into a very good player, but I don’t see it. Bills have a plan for him, and I don’t know what that is. There has to be more to him than blocking, playing physical or missing a couple of defenders on a short throw to justify a high draft pick. Time will tell what that plan is.
Its pronounced "Opp a lou sis"
Got it!
I can’t lie I’m down on him. His tape is one of the least impressive out of all of the “top” talents. Route running is nothing special athleticism on the field too besides his perfect jump ball timing… hopefully he puts it all together. We need it
Looked like holding.
Allen inconsistent is to dumb to even say
