daklieb Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 hes back! "Chris Cooley has agreed to rejoin the Washington Redskins, a person familiar with the situation said Sunday night, hours after the team lost fellow tight end Fred Davis to a season-ending torn left Achilles’ tendon suffered during a loss to the New York Giants." http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/fred-davis-redskins-leading-pass-catcher-is-lost-for-the-season/2012/10/21/403dfd40-1bc7-11e2-ba31-3083ca97c314_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Can he play some safety? Because that would be useful also Great to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why? Paulsen was plenty good in Davis` absence, he deserves his shot. Who said Paulsen won't start ahead of him? Let's see how it plays out, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyst21 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I was gonna start a thread about his return but it hasent been made official as of yet. Pending a successful workout tomorrow. But news is that he's kept himself in excellent football shape just in case we needed him. I have no doubt that he'll pass the physical and be with us against the steelers. Lets go Chris!!

DieselPwr44 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why? . Because Niles Paul ain't worth doodley squat at TE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I hope he makes the most of this opportunity. He's also a good pass blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont like the idea of getting older as opposed to giving a young player an opportunity. Cooley will inevitably take over the starting roll and for what reason? Its not like he'll be around when this team is truly ready to contend. I'd rather roll the dice and evaluate paulsen and niles. This move is remnance of the past.

Xameil Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Cool (). I hope that Paulsen and Paul still get the chance to start...and I expect that they will. Paul doesn't deserve to start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Paulsen yes, Paul no. IMO. Paul doesn't deserve to start... I imagine that Cooley is better than Niles right now, but why not see what Paul can do with regular reps over the remainder of the season and use Cooley for depth? Remember that Cooley's injury is what opened our eyes to Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogsGoHard Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Good to have him back...reliable guy catching the ball, pass and run blocking....You guys know you have a soft spot for Cooley, you don't have to lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Anything to detract from how ****ty our defense is j/k lol! Can he play safety or corner? Glad to have ol' Cooley back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooley will inevitably take over the starting roll and for what reason? Its not like he'll be around when this team is truly ready to contend. I'd rather roll the dice and evaluate paulsen and niles. This move is remnance of the past. I've argued vehemently against this line of thought since Shanahan has come here. Shanahan has shown that players earn playing time during practice since he's been here, and it's worked out very well. Will Montgomery (Rabach was ahead of him), Lichtensteiger (Dockery ahead of him), Hankerson (last year Gaffney and Moss were ahead of him), Morris, etc... There are a lot of examples. As much as I respected Gibbs and what he accomplished here, that was something he would do. Same with Zorn because Zorn had no control or authority. They just gave roster spots to the veterans simply because. Shanahan hasn't done that since he's been here, so it's as simple as acknowledging this fact and you'll be on your way with dumping this way of thinking. He's brought in guys like McNabb, Gaffney, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, etc... and soon as he saw they wouldn't really be able to contribute, especially long term, he's let them go. Sometimes it's ok to allow an older vet to compete. The young guys who play better will start over them under Shanahan, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have Jermichael Finley as my TE in one of my fantasy leagues league (I know right :doh: ) as soon as I found out Davis was done for the year, I went to go pick up Cooley because I knew they were going to bring him back.
