Looks like Perry Riley will be signing any moment now. Silverback on the other hand just fired his agent.

........However Horton and Riley got torched today by Davis.
Davis seems to be torching several DB's. Hmmmm? Will Davis earn a staring spot over Cooley? Or is Cooley given the starting position regardless of play on the practice field? Should be interesting to watch.

Hell, if he's torching DBs then he can be our possession receiver.

It's an interesting question. My buddies that were trainers for the Skins up until this year said Davis is the best athlete on the team. I've read quotes from players basically saying the same thing. And he showed it after CC got hurt last season.
I love Cooley- prob my favorite Redskin - but you gotta play the best player.

Yeah, all I keep hearing is "Thomas just torched Barnes on a deep route" "Moss just put a sick move on Barnes" "Kelly burned Barnes over the middle" and so on
Frustrating for sure. Hearing some positive things about Tryon so that's good
While its bad news on one side of the coin, I'm heartened by the fact that Thomas and Kelly are making those plays on Barnes, maybe they are not complete busts as some paint them to be.
I guess we have to give them some time. Most were ready to lynch Justin Tyron in his second preseason after giving up those big plays, now look at himnow... he is... well better I guess.

How about both? Since the WR position has yet to materialize the way we'd all like to see maybe a lot of our sets will have Cooley @ TE w/ Davis swung out in the slot...I dunno this is just pure conjecture.
...Shanny and son are brilliant offensive minds so I guess i have near full faith they'll find a way to use our best weapons.

very interesting comments by starke. vinny simply never understood the history of the this organization. gotta give snyder credit for bringing in allen. he gets it.
honestly I enjoy the history of the franchise but the only tradition we should be worried about is winning and that can be recreated without the history

Cooley may see an expanded role in the offense this season; he said he is running "everything all the receivers run." His ability to become comfortable with McNabb could be crucial, especially with few proven receiving threats other than Santana Moss.

Yep. And once Davis gets that extension.. or even beforehand if he earns it you wonder if Shanahan and Allen will think that they should only have one big contract at TE and could have an even younger guy take over, maybe that's why we drafted a TE.. who knows. Maybe if he or Cooley does enough out wide they'll keep them both, I don't want to lose either one.

I keep hearing about Cooley in the slot more than Davis.. has anyone read about them using Davis there more?
