Could just be Cooley filling in on an off-day for the punter, and nothing more. But naturally this sparks images of things you could do with Cooley on fake FGs. Let him roll out, use his speed to the edge, and try to power his way past a few smaller guys?

Every now and then we see a snippet of what the new regime has planned. I wonder if there's something to this.

I've always wondered why teams didn't put their better players at the position. It isn't a high-risk spot and it seems like it would be an advantage to be able to have your starting QB or one of your speedy WRs/RBs at the spot. Maybe it is a logistical deal with being able to get enough practice to gel?
