Wheres Chris Cooley been?

[illdefined]

yeah i can see that. but there are articles written on how little the new #2 and #3 have been getting it this year (besides in the flat).

i think Patten is actually a better receiver than anyone thought, Brunell just didn't look to him much last year.

Cooley isn't getting as many looks, espicially in the red zone, so his numbers are suffering. He's doing a great job in run blocking this year, very much improved. Cooley is not a weak link on this team by any means.

But here's a good point. Last year we were using Cooley to max potential. This year, it's not even close. So was it really neccessary to add TWO WRs in the offseason?

I'd say no.

I'd say no.

I think Gibbs did that because he didn't want another recurrence to last year of Farris and Taylor Jacobs starting with a playoff run on the line

Then why is David Patten still with the team?

We could have used either Randle El or Lloyd. But it looks like we didn't need both. Settling on one would have saved us from parting with a couple of draft picks, too.

But hey, who needs draft picks when you have the keen forsight of Snyder and Cerrato to pick through the trash and spare parts of other 4-12 teams around the league?

I thought those WR"s were brought in to take pressure off of Moss. To prevent teams from rolling coverages Moss' way. It seems like Brunell still wants to force the issue! Cooley should be killin' that bullshit cover two D right up the hash! WTF?!!!! HAIL from MCUSA!

I think that was the primary goal, but the secondary effect of that is fewer receptions for everyone else. If you get the ball to Moss 85 times, Cooley 70, and the RBs 55, you're not really using those #2 receivers much. Although total completions should go up, Cooley (as the de facto #2 receiver) is still going to lose a couple of receptions.

Again, though, Brunell should be getting the ball to SOMEBODY if not Cooley.

Could it be that he cut his hair? Just a thought. HAIL from MCUSA!
