Cooley may see an expanded role in the offense this season; he said he is running "everything all the receivers run." His ability to become comfortable with McNabb could be crucial, especially with few proven receiving threats other than Santana Moss.

That's an interesting article...not sure if that means Cooley is the only TE learning "all" the routes.

Davis looks more athletic and much faster than Cooley so I would have thought he's the natural big body to swing out from the TE spot. Cooley is truly special however when it comes to creating separation: he just seems to find a way to get open consistently. The Shanahans have noticed as much I'm sure. And once Chris has the ball he can ramble for big time YAC. It's actually pretty sweet to have these 2 studs at the same position. Should make the offense all the more exciting.

I keep hearing about Cooley in the slot more than Davis.. has anyone read about them using Davis there more?

I visited Redskins Park earlier today for a meet and greet thing where they were trying to sell club seats.
It was pretty hilarious though. Bruce Allen was a bit tipsy when he spoke to the fans today and answered a few questions. He nearly fell backwards once. He spiritedly told us about how the players have really been working their asses off. (he then quickly tried to correct himself by saying rear end, noticing some youngins in the front row)

Apparently the coaches and current players left the park early to go bowling and meet up with a bunch of the skins alumni.
Cooley and Trent Williams had the best scores among the current players... and Sellers had the worst score of the day lol

I have a feeling that Davis might be a better run blocker and more physical than Cooley. Cooley has better hands. So using both, Cooley in the slot/H-back role and Davis on the line at TE makes sense.
With Davis, rookie Dennis Moore and Mike Sellers we finally have multiple blockers that can play smash mouth football. Finally!

I love Cooley- prob my favorite Redskin - but you gotta play the best player.

Yep. And once Davis gets that extension.. or even beforehand if he earns it you wonder if Shanahan and Allen will think that they should only have one big contract at TE and could have an even younger guy take over, maybe that's why we drafted a TE.. who knows. Maybe if he or Cooley does enough out wide they'll keep them both, I don't want to lose either one.

^You are correct. It was a dinner at the white house. Riggo was waisted and ended up under the table. and yes he told the Supreme Court Justice to "loosen up Sandy baby." lol.

Riggo is by far my all time favorite Redskin, a real character!

Guess this is the closest thread to start this in. Just reading an interesting article about Bobby McCray. I think he might be a good pick up off the waiver wire.

Get him! It's about time we get some Florida Gators on this squad.

Interesting guy. Although, we have a surplus of Dline men with at least 4 better than him at DE.

Carriker, Daniels, Holliday

Alright check that. Just went over the roster, he may be useful....lol

Haha. Yeah at 28 he doesn't seem like he is in decline and he did have a good playoff performance. I just think the Saints decided to go a different direction with the new guys they brought in. Shanny is always talking about competition, and this guy isn't 38 or coming off a major injury like a lot of our other players we have picked up. I still remember him flattening Kurt Warner in the playoffs so he can't be that bad. Worth a shot IMO.
