Cooley knows the system and can step right in, this makes the most sense.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

The Redskins aren't going to re-sign Cooley unless it's for the veteran minimum or slightly more. His 3.5 million salary was probably the main reason why he was released. Logan Paulsen is the TE who should have been cut.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

Logan Pausen did fine we dont need cooley. Much rather sign Bob Sanders to replace Mediu Williams than sign cooley . Our D is horrible.

Bob Sanders? Is this the year 2005? Lol. I thought he retired after all those injuries. And by the time he learned the playbook it'd probably be too late for him to make an impact too.

Lol. Now I know why most of the smart posters avoid the boards after a loss.

[quote=HailGreen28;954491]Hell no. Develop Paulsen as a regular TE, and Paul as a receiving TE.

Cooley's done.[/quote]

I seem to recall people pissed that Paul missed a block this game. Also Paul can't catch for crap.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

I dont think bringing cooley in for a test drive could hurt. If he catches the balls consistently, and doesn't look ridiculously slow, I say move him right into the position currently held by Paul. He is a way better blocker than Paul, and Paulsen edges him out ever so slightly blocking wise. Catching, Cooley could still have plenty left, especially being rested with a chip on his shoulder. And I believe he is the type of guy who would sign for vet min to take one more shot.

Davis down hurts but rg3. Showed y he's so great it didn't even bother him.

Fletcher MRI tomorrow

Hamstring from what they said on TV. Dont think its real bad but was enough to keep him out of the last drive or two today.

Leonard Hankerson, Josh Morgan, Santana Moss, Logan Paulsen. Thats our receiving corps for now.

Exactly, Griff basically has no true number 1 and hasn't all year and yet he's still balling out. He has 13 total tds to only 4 TOs. Incredible

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

There is a TE on our Practice Squad: DeAngelo Peterson rookie from LSU 6' 3" and 243. Not sure if he is still on the practice squad? If he is I assume they see something in him.?.?.?

Just to throw out a 'name' out there, but Kellen Winslow is available. I'd rather have a young guy though.

Was thinking same thing despite his attitude because he's similar in skill set to Davis.

Id cut niles paul for him. fred davis will have to come cheao id hate to lose him but with these days if our O can still be good without him than use rhat money else where.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

It seems that Joshua Morgan skillset is closer to Fred Davis' blocking and catching abilities than Niles Paul is. Team has a ton of WRs on the roster and no one was getting a lot of touches but Davis.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

I've always been very impressed with Paulsen. I think he and Young will get some more action in the offense. I'm sure they'll consider Cooley as he knows the offense and is always around Redskins Park anyway, but I'd say the odds of him returning are 30-70 at the moment.

Shanahans fault for re-signing him.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

I love CC but I don't think he brings anything to the table for us. He isn't better than Paulsen....stop and think about that, I'll wait....I'd rather see us just adjust and move some from PS up who has looked promising. At whatever position.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

Not sure if it's Shanny's "fault". I'd have done it in a heartbeat. An iron man, pro-bowler, leader of a young inexperienced defense, and a man who recently has been putting up 100 tackle seasons..

Regardless, I'm very proud of our offense & team. RG3 makes up for all the injuries -- earlier it was the O-line, then Garcon, then DAvis, & defensive injuries -- but the next man up has been making it happen. With prior years, we would have crumbled with these injuries - but now I think it doesn't matter as much. Credit Shanahan and the depth he's creating, and Kyle's creative playcalling.


I get the feeling that RG3 can will us to win himself alone. Also feel that whoever we have in there by the years end - we could be dangerous if we get into the playoffs...

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

@JasonLaCanfora: Redskins have reached out to former TE Chris Cooley, and deal likely to be finalized shortly. Reunion makes perfect sense for him and team

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

Jason LaConfora (yuck) says that we have reached out to CC and expect a deal soon...

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

I know it's early yet, but not really, and a quality tight end has to be considered an absolute necessity. I don't see Davis coming back next year, as he is a free agent, and has been mostly underwelming since he was highly drafted in 08. Time to say goodbye to Fred. Cooley is at best a stopgap for the remainder of this season, and Niles Paul is not a tight end.

Joseph Fauria of UCLA will likely be available in the 2nd rd when the Skins select next year, and he should be on the short list of possible draftees. Almost 6'-8" at 260 lbs with ok 4.8 speed, he won't go in the first, but he offers a big time red zone target area, quality blocking, and after the catch run ability.

Tight end has to now be considered a must get and high priority for next year. Secondary help has to come from free agency as rookie secondary players are almost always unreliable. Jarius Byrd at FS with either Talib or Cromartie at corner.


In other words, build the offense around Griffin with high draft picks for future growth, and build the defense thru free agency for immediate results.

Is he related to Christian Fauria the former patriots TE?

Cromartie isn't going to be a FA, and is basically a taller DHall...

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

Focus next year needs to be on Safety and CB's. We will resign Davis (the injury probably made that easier since no one will be paying a premium for a TE with 1 strike and coming off a major injury). OL seems to be solid in run and schemed ok for passing. Need to work on strengthening the back end of our Defense first, then any other area.

I agree with you Smoot. I think Paulsen is doing a hell of a job. Much better than Niles Paul is at the moment.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

What if Cooley come's in here and beasts? I'm sure he's going to be trying to change some minds. I mean he definitely can't be worse than Paul. He's practically the Ade Jimoh of 2012.

If Cooley can catch a pass and make a block, he'd already be miles ahead than Paul.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

Assuming Chris is in football shape, he's a better TE than lunch pail Logan (whom I think is a good TE btw). Logan is the better blocker and his height definitely will give him the upper-hand on a play or two each game. But Cooley has always had a knack for finding open space, and he's still a rambler after the catch. They both have good hands, but you gotta give Chris the edge based on experience.

Chris and Logan should split reps at TE. Paul shouldn't be on the field when the offense is at work, but Shanny isn't letting go of this one for some reason.

re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley
 

NOOO to cooley. Paulsen just had a decenf game why not give him time and playing time to see what he can do. Cooley is a waste of time man come on .
