For sake of arguement, let's say Cooley plays a Richardson style FB on some plays, and a pre2006 Cooley style H Back on others.

I think his role, which in great part determines the direction of the offense, will slowly go one way or the other as Saunders learns how to best utilize the talent. If Saunders thinks he's a more successful H, he will work that in. If Cooley works on his drive blocking, and becomes a FB, then he will play more of that. Either way, expect a diet of both in the preseason and early in the regular season.

Don't expect him to play an in line TE. That's why Fauria was brought in. When Fauria isn't in, Lloyd/Randle El will be in a 3 wide.
