Your right. Maybe I should have said something like "Better than expected". Anyway, I think that Cooley was the diamond. A third round pickup delivered 6 TDs as a rookie. Even more impressive is that Gibbs didn't realize what he had in Cooley until 3/4 of the way through the season, and still the Gibbs game plan did not stress getting passes to the H-Back.
