Other teams cuts.

[La Pantera]

Cooley's wheels are shot.

That's what I was thinking.

[La Pantera]

sign cooley and gaffney, cut tutu, armanti, brockel, hartsock.. at TE that gives us Olsen, Cooley, Barny and at WR that gives us Smitty, Lafell, Murphy, Gaffney, Pilares, Adams with Gettis on the PUP.. some weapons and insurance as well as Vets

I could live with that.

Cooley's wheels are shot.

How so? I know he's had some pretty hefty injuries over the years but he didn't look much different to me in watching the Colts/Skins game last week than he did when I've seen him in the past. Perhaps a little heavier, but I think that was to try to win Shanahan over in playing FB.

Proudiddy, you're a good dude, but I swear, you stay wanting everyone else's trash.

Come on man, you should know Hurney's philosophy by now.

So, Cooley is trash compared to Hartsock and Brockel? LOL.

I haven't even been posting stuff about most guys being released. I said I'd pick up Molden earlier in the thread because we could use some viable competition at CB. I suggested VY because it would be ideal to have a mobile QB to be able to run the same offensive plays that Cam does in case we ever needed it (which I pray we don't). BUT, I later said it probably wasn't a good idea.

How many of the guys being released have I made threads about? After everyone sharted their pants flaming me over the Haynesworth thread after he was released from the Pats, I've been a lot more selective about who I even suggest as a possible addition.

We're fans, we look for solutions to things that we view as problems with our team. I'm not a big fan of Hartsock or Brockel, and Cooley, if healthy, would be an upgrade over both and open up a roster spot. But, that's trash?

[Mr. Scot]

Saw this discussion coming :lol

I'd need to know more about what Cooley's current condition is like before I say yes or no.

Healthy and hasn't lost a step? Then I'm probably in. Otherwise, iffy.

Obviously, any contract needs to include a condition that he cannot show off his playbook - or anything else - online.

(I'll grant that Chud's playbook probably hides more than others do)

[TheRed]

Have you not watched Vince Young play lately? Seriously lol.

As for Cooley, depends how much.

He's actually lost 30 pounds to ease the stress on his knees. He's not heavier he's much lighter and still slow. Look i love the guy. He's been my favorite player since S Taylor was killed. He's done. The Redskins would have never dropped their most popular player if not.

[panthers34]

Cooley?

[CRA]

It would be nice to get another guy behind Cam who can run the same exact offense (option plays, runs, etc.), but after being reminded of the VY slight, yeah, it's best we leave him alone.

Backup needs to be able to run Chud's base offense....which is basically Norv's. Backup doesn't need to be able to run the tweaked Cam version of it. You can't find someone physically like him....and only a freak show would be running the tweaked version. RGIII for example will end up like Vick....hurt.

Oh ok... I had heard them discussing his weight during the game and assumed he bulked up due to the move to FB primarily. Maybe he has lost a step, but he's still better than Hartsock and Brockel, that's why I'd like to have him here. People said Stephen Davis was done before we signed him too, just sayin'...

Not necessarily, I think Vick doesn't know when to give up. Until RG3 starts missing 4-6 games a year because of injuries, I wouldn't equate him to Vick just yet in 'injury waiting to happen' department.

But, sure, we could continue running the base offense (Norv's) as you said if we ever needed to use our backup, but as I said, it would be 'ideal' if we could get a guy to come in and run most of the same plays that Cam did. No, he won't be carved from the same granite that Cam is, lol, and no, he won't be as athletic or as gifted, but it would keep that threat there for the defense to think about. As I said, I pray we never need it regardless... Just brainstorming aloud.

[HeatCheck]

I'd be more interested in Cooley if he offered something different than Olsen and Tolbert. Rather spend a roster spot elsewhere.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Cam's bro was cut from the Ravens.

Highly doubt we pick up Cooley, but I look at it like he'd be taking the Brockel/Hartstock position.
