REDSKINS4ever, you need to take your emotion out of the conversation. You are such a big Cooley fan that it clouds your judgement of him.
You and GOAT are so caught up with TE being a receiver that you lose sight that the main reason Shanahan has Paulsen and Paul in there instead of Cooley is because they are winning and Paulsen & Paul are good blockers and pass protectors. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Ever heard of that?
It is no coincidence that our offense changed and in turn solidified when Fred Davis and Cooley (not known for their blocking) were either injured or cut.
You guys really underestimate the value of good run blocking TE's in THIS offense even if they are not pass catchers. Up to know we have had enough production through the ground game and RGIII and our WR's, that we can win with out our TE's being heavily involved in the passing attack.
If it works why change it?

I give up. Sure, Paul is a good blocker, even though he doesn't do it on gameday. He's also an all pro pass catcher, a fulbright scholar, and a superb chef.

And Cooley is a probowl players and teams were fighting over him when we cut him.

Correction: Cooley was a probowl player who had his best season in 2010 with Mike Shanahan and he said after being released he preferred to stay in DC to live and play for the Skins again.

See how those darn facts make it so much different than the nonsense you wrote?

i read that Cooley turned down quite a few offers, to start even, telling teams if he was going to play again if would be for the Redskins and no one else . . .

So Cooley said this. Ok. In any case he doesn't seem to be able to unseat either guy he originally got cut for. That should tell us something.

Paulsen is good at blocking and passing. Paul, not so much. While Cooley may not be back (I hope he does), Fred Davis will be back next season.
