Peter Schrager's (Fox Sports) Top 99 for 2009

This seems a bit off. How is Cooley not in the top 99? The same can be said with Moss. Not a single DB in ouur secondary made the list? (Hall, Rogers Landry). 3 more Redskins at the most should be on this list.Inclusively, I thought Schrager's list did it's due dilligence. Outside of a baffling choice here or there (Reggie Bush, Matt Cassel) his 99 would have been as good as anyone's 99.

As a Skins fan, I think Rogers probably should have been somewhere on his list. As for Cooley, he's a lot better than Bush, but an exception doesn't exactly prove the rule. Coooley would probably miss on most lists, although you could say he should be between 90-100. Same deal with Samuels. Great players who are right in that borderline range.

I agree with him that the only two Redskins who should be on EVERY top 100 list are Haynesworth and Portis. He even went out of his way to point out that Fletch is terribly underrated.

Now, his top 20...that could use some work. A lot of work.

Haynesworth could be higher. Cooley should definitely be in there somewhere.

A KR in devin hester wouldnt make my top 99.

Only 3 TEs made the list, and Jason Witten barely made the list. I can understand him putting Witten, Gates, and Gonzalez ahead of Cooley based on stats from last year, mostly due to TDs. I think he just didn't value TEs much for his list.

There are also very few TEs in the league that are real difference makers. Witten, Gates, Gonzalez, Dallas Clark, Cooley, maybe Owen Daniels and Kellen Winslow. Outside of that, it's slim pickings.

I wouldn't really say Cooley had a down year. He had career highs in catches and yards, plus his run blocking was better than ever. I know he only scored once, but I think that was more of a function of the poor offense than his game.


He did have some fumbles this year but I have no idea wether that was a factor in deciding anything.

Yeah, he fumbled twice. On 83 catches.

Outside of that, it's slim pickings.I'd add Sheffler and John Carlson to that mix. But the point is still valid. There's a handful of teams in the NFL that just won't get much production from their TEs.

It'll be interesting to watch and see if Greg Olsen has a career year with Cutler tossing the rock there.

Samuels before he was hurt was playing his usual great game. Sure he's lost a little but he's still one of the most dependable LTs in the game. He's arguably the Skins' mvp since he's been here.
