Snippets 980ESPN from Chris Cooley today:

Cooley said he feels 100% a casualty of the lockout.. Not being able 2 treat his knee w/trainers & doctors during offseason

"it's a shame"Cooley says he constantly had knee drained. Felt pressure to be healthier for the fans, "I probably should have taken more time rehabbing."Cooley says microfracture was 50/50 chance of recovery, "to be honest with you, it hurt to run ten yards."

"It's amazing what this franchise means to me .. I'm part of this team.. I have no desire to play for anyone else."

Cooley says when he was at Super Bowl, to watch the Saints that would be biggest moment "this will be the only team I care about....says main goal to accomplish in the NFL is to run out of the tunnel playing in a Super Bowl. Said he wants to do that w/ Redskins

"I am a fan of the Washington #Redskins." "i still believe we are a very good football team."

"I feel so lucky to play for an organization and a fan base, that lets me be myself."
