I just wonder if the career backup can keep it up, or if his bubble is going to burst tomorrow, especially under the pressure of playing on the road in the playoffs.
Well, considering he played on the road in Minnesota and New York where a loss would have knocked the team out of playoff contention, I'd say he is okay with game pressure.
Admittedly, Qwest is a tough place to play, but it's just the next step and it's not like he hasn't faced a noisy crowd in these last three weeks.

He played well on the road in Minnesota and New York, both against teams that needed to win.

How about Ladell Betts last year?Good one. I'd argue that signing Cooley before his Pro Bowl season saved us millions had he been allowed to test his value in free agency.

Yep. Cooley could have demanded some mega bucks on the open market.
Speaking of that, isn't it great to see a guy have a monster season after signing a fat contract like he did? Too often you see guys sign big deals and then they lose their edge. Not with Cooley, he just continues to improve.

Not with Cooley, he just continues to improve.I hope the trend continues of re-signing our own young core guys before they hit free agency. Montgomery, Doughty, and Golston all have contracts that expire next season. I hope some effort is made to keep them from free agency, expecially Montgomery.
