Steve Smith Sr. Blasts Keon Coleman, Urges Bills to Add Outside Receiver Before Deadline

Coleman’s production has sagged since his Week 1 peak, raising pressure heading into a matchup with Kansas City’s stingy defense.

Overview

  • On his podcast, Steve Smith Sr. said of Coleman, "He ain't the guy," citing issues creating separation and winning against press coverage.
  • Smith argued it is "paramount" for Buffalo to pursue a veteran outside receiver before next week’s NFL trade deadline.
  • Asked about Smith’s critique, Coleman declined to engage, saying, "Nah, no comment on that. Next question."
  • Since his 112-yard opener, Coleman has topped 30 receiving yards just once and is averaging 20.8 yards per game, with his yards per catch down to 9.9 and only three gains of 20-plus yards on 27 receptions.
  • Buffalo faces a surging Chiefs defense on Sunday that has allowed just seven combined points over its last two games.
