Nope.

You must be talking about when Baltimore signed him.

Exactly. I agree that there are a lot of things not to like about Dyson, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth taking a chance on him. As long as he doesn't command much money, there is absolutley no downside to giving him a shot. If he can't outplay our younger recievers, then we cut him. No big deal.

Jake...am I wrong ? I seem to recall that we brought Coates in, gave him a physical and an interview...and let him walk right out the door.
I remember reading that he smoked during the interview phase...
You're right in town. Did this not happen ?

Don't remember bringing him in for an interview. I know we never signed him. He ended his career in Baltimore in 2000. We may have interviewed him but I don't remember.

I doubt she even knows who he is.
(If you have money to spare, you can search the Washington Post's archives to find an article mentioning an interview).

Good job, TC.
Of course I changed the "she". I knew you were gonna pick on that sooner or later.
