He was touting his own player personnel acumen, then seemed to contradict himself.
Cooley then went into a discussion about how some players didn't show their stuff until they put pads on at camp and used Steven Daniels as an example (even though he hasn't seen Daniels in pads): that is Daniels using smarts and toughness to make up for a lack of athleticism.
Apparently, Trail was so unimpressive he doesn't have a chance.
Factor in how Cooley hangs around the park and is good friends with the owner and much of the coaching staff. He probably has a good idea of who they like and who they don't.
Whether or not Trail makes the team has to be the least worthwhile post I've made on here, but hey, it's the middle of summer and literally nothing else is going on besides waiting for the next Dallas Cowboys arrest or an uppity Giants related post.
