Rocky52Mc Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Look, here's the thing about that. Where you see people lined up on the field is usually their specialty, and if it's not, you'll here them talk about where they're a beast in an interview. Cooley is so much more explosive off of the line, hanging around near a tackle. Making it look like he's gonna block but running a route. It's all about the gameplan. The game plan isn't stick some good guys in this position to this position and see how cool it would be! It's not that. The whole mindset of cooley and important of him starting off next to the offensive line is that they can quickly form a screen formation and block for him, he can block, and he can run routes.

darrelgreenie Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 hmm... conflicting reports. this says 4.6http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/18/the-art-of-storytelling/?page=4 I don't mean to quibble, but http://www.nfldraftscout.com numbers are the players official combine and pro-day numbers. The numbers from the washingtontimes article appear to be rounded to the tenths, official 40 times are always given in hundredths e.g.(4.87) not tenths (4.8) another thing even if they are rounding the numbers to the tenths 4.9 would be correct not 4.8. Look it, i like Cooley. Pro Bowl TE. nuff said HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duenni Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 yeah... but if ARE, matt jones & devin hester can convert, i think Cooley could manage shifting to receiver. those guys didn't play TE :doh: ARE and Jones played some qb and hester is a corner st guy!

KNGwithOUTaCrwN Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 whoa. no way. not as a permanent move. it can work on some plays in certain situations but as our #2? no. hes a TE not WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethrodsp Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Cooley is one of the best in the league at sealing the edge from the TE position. He is a major reason behind Clinton Portis' success this season. In anything but 4 wr sets, you lose that. Plus, if we move Cooley out wide then you only create another hole in the passing game at TE. The Redskins should focus on getting Devin Thomas up to speed rather than far fetched fixes like moving Cooley to the Z position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehogs Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I doubt that the 'see what happens' option is viable. The answer presumably is that if the coach sees an opportunity for a particular play then he'll go with it. I guess there could be situations where shifting Cooley would unbalance a D with a look they didnt expect but since the team isnt exactly jumping at the opportunity to do so you have to assume they reckon its not something we could go with as regular play. Did I just say 'no' there?.... :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeTK Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 did anyone else catch #47 out there as the #2 receiver today? i'm ALMOST positive i did.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzah Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 did anyone else catch #47 out there as the #2 receiver today?i'm ALMOST positive i did.... Wouldn't be the first time they've put him at wide out. Heck, they even have Portis out there sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 did anyone else catch #47 out there as the #2 receiver today?i'm ALMOST positive i did.... We've done that before. I think we even did that last week. A few plays is way different than replacing the #2 receiver though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeTK Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 We've done that before. I think we even did that last week. A few plays is way different than replacing the #2 receiver though. true.... but my vote was to only do it a couple plays and see what happens, see whether we should do it more often. i think it would be effective to slide him out there every so often.

Interesting. Getting the ball to Cooley more would be a good idea. Cooley is one of the top TEs in league because linebackers and some safeties have a difficult time covering him. Zorn and Saunders both have used Cooley out wide and in the slot, trying to create the match-up of Cooley 1 on 1 with a linebacker or a safety. IMO moving Cooley to the Z would be counter productive, he's not quick enough or fast enough to consistently get open vs an NFL CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedsuperstar Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 OMG!!!! I don't understand how this would help. Bottomline is that the Skins are learning a brand new offense, but the fans would rather whine, when things don't go right. The Skins drafted Kelly and Thomas for a reason. When they learn the offense, they will be very good. Just be patient. The team is 7-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlington Supper Club Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 we should line up with all TE recievers on every play. JC dosnt throw to wide recievers anyway. Yoder on one side, Cooley on the other and Sellers in the slot. You see, now all his options are a check down so its a win-win. But I guess a 2 yard pass to a TE when it is 3rd and 20 isnt very win. Never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 lining him out wide limits him on what he can do.. You send him out wide it removes the "Is he going to block this play or run a route?" question the defense has to ask themselves.. Also removes his ability to block.

Veretax Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 He is a Tight end. there is no Guarantee that simply moving Cooley to another position would help our passing game. besides would this not change all of his routes? What a STUPID idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
