Re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley

With Cooley back, I thing Niles Paul will be riding the bench on Offense now. They didn't do much with Cooley during the preseason because they wanted to look at Paul, but I think we have all seen enough of him. Let him play ST and that's it.

From what I have been reading on WP this afternoon - Mr. Paul is actually the starter.

Frikkin Lunch Pail Logan is the man!!! He's a big dude too...should make a great endzone target for RG3.

Don't get me wrong though, I still hope Cooley comes snarling back and plays several more years with us.

Cooley isn't all that old in the grand scheme of things. Question is can his body hold up and is he doing all that he has to do at his age to prolong his career. We shall see. He has his second shot. I hope he takes advantage of it.

I always knew Cooley could still play. Under the Shanahan regime though he hasn't been the exact same player that he was under Gibbs and Zorn namely because of injuries. Cooley is just a few years removed from those days but still should be able to contribute on the same level that he did back then.

I've been thinking it all season but one game this year he's going to break out and make a few huge plays. Maybe I'm just wishful thinking here idk

Hard to see anything coming together with Paul anytime soon. Morgan on the other hand is very likely to have a monster game, or two. He's got all the physical ability IMO and good hands overall. Those types can have huge games, but not consistently.

I kind of expect the same with Garcon, whenever he gets healthy. Lack of consistency was always an issue for him in Indy, so it shouldn't surprise anyone here.

Neither of those guys is anywhere near the WR Moss still is today, and in fact I suspect Moss could and likely will outplay them both for another couple years.

It's kinda crappy Moss isn't getting targeted more, as in a lot. He's never had a QB anywhere near RG3's talent and yet produced near-elite seasons.

Even if he does will it be like a one hit wonder? just dont ever see the guy consistently catching the ball for us. special teams and third string TE im more than happy with. He could be a solid role player I guess. Oh and never run an option with him. Ever.

Re: Fred Davis Done for Season. Welcome Back Cooley

Moss just said, yesterday I believe, that he likes his new role in the slot with limited touches because it keeps him fresh and can help him and the team down the stretch

Right, because it's impossible to think he'd want more touches, more yards, more touchdowns

Moss has been a team 1st guy for as long as I can remember. His comments support the team, as in Mike's/Kyle's decision to limit the most talented receiver on the roster to get "their" guys more work.

Isn't Moss one of Shanny's guys now, considering he did re-sign him to a new 3 yr $15M deal last year.

I think it's just a case of managing an older player's playing time. Considering injuries have been an issue with him in recent years it seems like the smart thing to do.
