I agree. Cooley should definitely develop into a fine blocker as he progresses at the NFL level, particularly with the coaching of Joe Bugel. Cooley has the attitude and work ethic to become a very well-rounded H-back. Royal really impressed me this year, and quite honestly, I was surprised when he was able to beat out Rasby and Kozlowski for the starting TE job. He really seems to be hitting his stride as an NFL player, and I look for him and Cooley to continue to develop into an excellent young TE/H-back tandem.

I think cooley will become a better blocker as he get's more experience, Royal has shown to be pretty productive in the red zone, but not a big blocker I agree a year in the weight room would reall benifit him in the blocking area.

How did everyone like the kid from USC Bird he showed some set of hand's on that catch down the middle for a TD against Oklahoma the other night, that catch was unbelievable, didn't follow him this year other than that game but he defiently made an impression with that one.
