Chris Cooley

The only reason why Paul gets snaps is because of his speed and long term prospect as a backup TE. He cant catch a cold but he is a decent blocker. Cooley cant run fast anymore hence his snaps on short yardage dive/belly plays. He is simply not quick enough on stretch plays nor is he able to get separation from LBs/DBs.

Nailed it

I dont think Cooley would be on a lot of NFL teams let alone a starter since it seems like he wast exactly being bombarded with a ton of offers from other teams. I llike Cooley and he has done a very good job after being brought back but lets not pretend he's still the star he used to be.

All this for a 3rd string TE.

One of my favorite plays of the year was the last play of the Giant game in which Morris rumbled for four yards despite the Giant defense knowing what was coming, and in doing so to picked up the first down and sealed the victory. Cooley was as responsible for that first down as Morris. He's been a valuable blocker.

Paulsen, on the other hand, is often a liability. He's had too many penalties and drops too many passes. Maybe he is more fit for the passing game, but I feel more comfortable with Cooley out there.

Yeah crappy ones that have no other option. Its a blessing to have him playing as much as he does. "Great teams have great depth" - John Wooden

Goat's DVR disagrees with you sir.

I haven't watched Cooley's play but he is our best TE by far. just kidding for anyone that took it serious.

Goat's IMAGINATION disagrees with you sir.

I fixed this for you

The rest of your post was too dumb for comment, but I just remembered also talking about Cooley's quickness on field. If you go back and watch him line up along LOS and head down field he's covering ground as quickly as Garcon and the rest. I think Cooley looks quicker than he ever house, which is plausible since he's lighter and evidently in better condition.

And Paul has missed a few backfield blocks that led to a sack or knockdown, but again earlier in the season. They're not relying on him now.

Too dumb? I said it detrimental to a coach to start worst players in front of better ones. I also said coaches see these players much more than your dvr or anything. They are better qualified and have access to more information than you to assess skill/value.

Sounds like it's a bit too logical for you to handle and you've resorted to calling my post "dumb".

Let's be clear here. Are you suggesting that Cooley has Garcon speed? Garcon is one of the fastest players in the league- Cooley in his prime wouldn't smell the pure speed Garcon possesses even at 70%.

I love Cooley as much as the next guy- but let's be honest with ourselves here. He is a has been that has a spot on the team solely because of his knowledge of the playbook and his blocking.

There is a reason he got cut.
