I DID see his clutch catch for 30 yards, with a defender on him and the ball high.
Don't know about the penalty. Would Cooley have been targeted more? Been a better blocker? Certainly, he wasn't gonna be playing on special teams. I just don't see it.

People need to be fair about the drop though. Paul had to go up and got the ball with full extension, and as he was bringing it in, a DB smacked him pretty hard in the hands dislodging the ball. It wasnt like it hit him in his chest with no one near him. He probably should have caught it, but to make it out to be an easy catch as some are doing is far from the truth.
