Is Cooley Still Considered an H-Back?

MTK · 05-30-2007, 03:05 PM

Shockey is very overrated because of his mouth and because of where he played in college.

I like Crumpler, the guy is a load and can move.

Witten is very good, perhaps a bit overrated because of the star on his helmet but he's a player regardless.

Honestly, I wouldn't put Gates over Cooley as the best OVERALL TE. Gates is a great receiver, but not the best blocker or after the catch.

Gonzo, Gates, Crumpler and Cooley should go to the pro bowl every year! There is no doubt in my mind.

On another note, this just goes to show why we shouldn't trade away our second round draft picks. After all thats where we got Betts and Cooley! To great players for us.

Actually, we got Cooley in the 3rd round

But yeah, point taken about trading picks away.

Your right, my mistake. I just hope that Loyd plays well to open him and Moss up some more. If not, he needs to get benched for ARE who showed signs toward the end of last year!

Cooley is the man. And yes he's a blocking ,catching,running and of course hard hitting TE, TD machine.

He will get his due respect this year at contract time.

mmil12 · 05-30-2007, 05:27 PM

That is normal negotiation between players and team. Teams always try and low ball players at first. In the long run, the skins know they can't afford to let Cooley walk. He is too talented, too young, and just too much of a CORE REDSKINS.

You have Chris Cooley, as a golden plated circle peg, and a square hole that is the TE position. While Al Saunders was able to squeeze Cooley into that square hole with minimal effort, he wore some of that gold plated awesomeness off in the process.

In all seriousness, I think this article is just pointing out that if you needed a historical absolute prototype for the perfect HB, look no farther than 47. I don't think he's saying Cooley is being used as an H.

Well if that's not what he's saying than read post 26? Tell me what that means to you?

Cooley in this system is a textbook TE.

He's a freaking TE, end of story.

Where's the grumpy version of Schneed when you need him?

Yeah seriously JDALY, you are wrong. Get over it. He isn't a H-back anymore. You are wrong. Life sucks, get use to it.

How much do you think cooley is going to demand when he hits the market. Let say we wrap him up with a 5 year contract.

I would not be at all surprised to see him get a 6 year deal worth $35M with a $13M signing bonus. That's a hell of a lot of money for a TE, but it's a crazy market right now.

Just give him the standard Redskins contract -- 6 years, $30 million, $10 million guaranteed

Or franchise him for almost $5 million
