Cry me a effing river that Cooley's stats get jacked.

It's not about the stats.. it's about how can you go a game without even targeting the guy?

I think he was in the gameplan but Samuels injury changed that we already had a problem with Heyer on the right and losing our best OL member was critical. You can't do anything when defenders our in the backfield attacking your QB & RB every play you need some help and Cooley was the "HELP".

So it's come down to our O-Line depth and we're only in Week 5 of the season...

I seem to remember us suffering the same problem last year at the end of the season. We go into this offseason just maintaining our depth (Dockery for Kendall) and make no other additions. We take the luxury of signing one $40M player but don't address our depth needs on the O-Line.


No matter the reason Cooley didn't get a catch today it all comes down to the lack of foresight by our front office to get people in a position for success.

Yep -- O-line depth was an issue around week 8 last year, now it's an issue at week 4.

Not hard to figure out what's happening here.

Theres a lot of things you can do. Draws, screens, quick passes. Supposedly Zorn is a pro at this, but we couldnt adapt.
