Redskins Offensive Outlook

If I have said it once I have said it 20 times. Cooley is going to blow up next year and have a probowl type season. Get your jersey now.

Love this guys take, nice to hear a positive spin for a change.

Good article...a little optomistic, but this is the time of year for optimism. My only problem is the statement that Betts could start for a slew of other teams. I like Betts as a backup but I would be interested in hearing the slew of teams that he could start for. The only team in the NFC I could see Betts even getting a chance to start for is Arizona, but they also just drafted JJ Arington who will get first crack. Other than that I enjoyed the article...

Cooley can hold a block, but he doesn't bowl anyone over. Daseals is right about us needing an upgrade in the blocking TE position. One of our newly drafted fullbacks may be groomed to fill some stop duty to statisfy that need.

True this 1000 percent.

I agree on Arizona.

I'd start Betts in San Fran over Kevan Barlow, though they just drafted Frank Gore who has to get a look. But Betts would be my guy right now.

You'd have to consider Betts to be at least in the mix in Minnesota (Michael Bennet, Ciatrick Fason, Mewelde Moore, Moe Williams).

I think Betts could challenge Reuben Droughns in Cleveland. Droughns is nothing special, just a product of that Denver system.

And in Tennessee, Chris Brown should certainly be the starter when healthy, but he just broke his hand, so I'll bet the Titans wouldn't mind a Ladell Betts.

But I do agree, he did overstate it. That's hardly a "slew" of teams, it's mostly a bunch of maybes.

I would have to AGREE 100%.....now this is inside info but a friend of mine is in a poker league with Cooley.......says he is really down to earth! Pretty open about his football career etc......Cooley stated that the offensive coaches said he could have 60+ catches this year! Believe it or not, but it is straight from the horses mouth! COOLEY IS GOING TO BE A MONSTER!

I like this offseason a whole lot more than years past, because instead of bringing in a whole new offense or defense we're just adding flavor to what we've already got. I agree, the offense will only be as good as the offensive line but the o-line is quickly shaping up to be an area of strength after so many years of it being a primary weakness.

I did bemoan passing on Mike Williams, but I think we should be much improved this season. I love the low power rankings we've gotten so far, lots of folks are sleeping on the Skins but I think the NFC East is going to be the best division in football next season.

And maybe people feel the Skins O-line is one of the more dominant ones in the league...

good article.............COOLEY, COOLEY, COOLEY............
I agree about our line, little concerned about our smallish receivers, the pressure is on Ramsey, hopefully the improved line will help ..........And I'm confident Gibbs will open up the offense and won't play so conservative..........

Poker!!!!!!!!!! I love it........Does Cooley play Texas Hold 'Em..........

Cooley was definitely like a black hole for the pigskin. If the ball was anywhere near him, he CAUGHT it and hung on to it.
