kiingspadee Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Why would you let Cooley go? I mean when he is healthy him and Davis will be such a nasty tandem. What if Davis goes down and we have Cooley - then we still have a solid TE still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickc402 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It was a knee and an index finger his knee has been bad all year. I think we'll keep him at least one more year. During the Carolina game, Paulson caught a pass from Beck that if Cooley had caught it was a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 How much value would Cooley actually bring in a trade at this point. He hasn't put a full season together since before the Zorn era. If he is willing to take less money and we can hang on to Davis and Paulsen we should definatley just hang on to him. Too much depth is never a bad thing in my opinion. Well he did have over 800 yards last season and played all 16 games. But i do hear what you're saying.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm amazed how many are writing Cooley's obituary as far as his tenure with the team. Really, I think the main reason why Cooley is on IR is that they need his roster spot for someone else and he just happens to be the low man on the totem pole, being at one of the few positions on this team that we are OK at. I don't even know if restructuring will be necessary to keep him around. I just find it funny that fans are ready to part with talent when it is obvious that there isn't always talent behind them ready to take over. Not to mention that quality veteran leadership is always needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantula Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Absolutely absurd! 90% of all passes end up with someone getting smacked. How many times have we seen Cooley laid out before? He's had way worse hits than that, come down with the ball and gotten up to play again. This time was just unlucky. Good QBs don't set up their receivers the way Grossman did. He hung Cooley out to dry with a terrible pass, and now his Skins' career is most likely over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkedUp Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Guess...is he more tradable with a repaired hand injury or a re-occuring knee injury... duh You "Trade Cooley" guys need to give up the ghost. Cooley hasn't merited more than a 6 or 7th round draft pick for the last three or four seasons. TE is just not that hard, nor essential,of a position to fill. I think his value to the Redskins over that same period has been much greater than what he could have gotten in return. He has been a great member of the Redskin community over some lean years. I think it is better for the Skins and Cooley to let him play out his career in the B&G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It will be interesting to see what Logan Paulsen can do with this opportunity. nonsense! didn't you get the memo? The season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooley was done long before that normal everyday play. Davis is the starting tight end now. Cooley was on his way out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldpost Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have to say I'm more interested at the moment who we are going to call up or bring in. Davis & Paulsen can handle the TE position, and I feel we have good depth at running back. So do we address other positions such as WR with Moss down or do we go offensive line? T.O. anyone?

TheLongshot Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Is there anything that some will not blame Rex Grossman for? To be fair, I think those people have a point. You don't put your receiver in a position where they are going to get clobbered like that. It is the part of the lack of vision that Grossman has at times. I'm sure Cooley isn't blaming him for that, but Grossman didn't do him any favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis is the starting tight end now. Cooley was on his way out anyway. That's the problem with this fan base, no loyalty towards our core players. I'm a huge Davis fan, but Cooley has done a lot for this team, and I think he deserves more than to be IR'd then discarded at year's end. As far as that being a normal every day play, sure, if your QB is Rex Grossman. Every day Jason Campbell played for this team, fans would blame him for not going through his reads and staring down receivers. Grossman clearly stared down Cooley and STILL threw him the ball at the most inopportune time. I'm just glad Rex is an afterthought, the guy is complete garbage and had never deserved to start for any NFL team. If 26-20 are your career highs, you were destined to be a back up from the day you were drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 love what cooley has done so far for the redskins . dont know if he'll be back, but i do think he would take a pay cut to stay here as he has a lot invested in the area, more than most NFL players. such a shame to see him go out on a stupid pass by rex grossman, but hey, thats football. i feel like cooley has been battling through injuries for years, and even last year while his production was good, i dont think he was quite healthy. the best thing for cooley now is to heal, get healthy, and come back in tip top shape. for now, im interested to see fred davis realize his potential and to see paulsen make some plays. the one drive last week where we utilized them looked good. we need more of that.

Lavarleap56 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 1. the season is far from over and saying so because 47 went to IR after not really contributing anything is retarded. 2. 47s on IR for a few reasons hand,Knee mostly, expirience for paulsen 3. cooley fans wont want to admit it judging by my twitter and in the " has cooley been demoted thread" but 47 has saw his last snap as a skin. 4. two years too late since the ankle injury he hasnt been the same and deciding to loose 20 lbs AFTER you get to camp and Davis is a man child isnt a good look. 5. 47 has done alot for this team and is a cool guy but the team is better moving on.

DeadExField Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I think the new curse is that if any of our Redskins make public predictions regarding our imminent domination over the NFL, they will end up in the hospital Look no further than Grossman, Cooley, and Hightower. Shanahan, tape everyone's mouth shut. Now. For the sake of good health... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Would have to think they'd use one spot for Kareem Moore. then the other on a RB. Don't see the point in adding another TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Cooley will be back next year. Edit: I should add, he will be back assuming he is healthy. If his knee just doesn't get any better he won't be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well damn. Hmm, who do we got for the chant? Heluuuuuuu? ---------- Post added October-26th-2011 at 03:42 PM ---------- Hey Cooley! Karma is a B****!Have fun on the IR! And keep talking s*** without backing it up.. love it Sincerely, Sincerely who? Antonio Ramiro? The one who goes out for a month with a broken pinky? lol You know, Cooley did say he expects Skins folks to cheer at the folly of a Cowboy so I suppose it's only fair the other way around. Although I doubt Cooley openly applauds at a season ending injury. Or goes out of his way to sign up for a message board(which has a waiting period), bold his text and figure out how to link a picture. Also have fun choking in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
