Re: Cooley for Marshall?????
 

[quote=Buster;649426]No way.

If we can really utilize Cooley and Davis, who can stop 2 Pro Bowl-caliber TEs?

We have some good WRs anyways. If we lose ARE and play Marko, it's a solid core of 4 WRs, 3 of them very young.[/quote]

I with you Buster it's a mismatch all day 2 WR, 2 TE, 5 OL, 1 QB & 1 RB that is damn near impossible to stop when executed right.

Re: Cooley for Marshall?????
 

I'm not against this trade. I think we may be able to get a pick out of the Marshall trade. If a 3rd gets packaged in, I'd be happy. Gives us a real WR for the first time in a long time and maybe another OL with the 3rd. Won't cry if it doesnt happen since I love Cooley.

We could even put Cooley or Davis in the slot or spread out as a WR to be covered by a LB or safety in CB-territory. Better Davis than Cooley so Chris can block. When either of them are in the open field, they run over defenders or in Fred's case, hurdles over them. They get the tough yardage and turn stops into first downs.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;649399]what is this "oline" you keep speaking of? i feel like i've heard of it before, but its been so long...[/quote]
Long ago, in days forgotten, a tale was told, one of qb's standing upright, and rb's passing the scrimmage line before the evil hordes could beset them. These tales told of mythical beasts, called Hogs, that kept the beasts of lb's and dt's from thrusting beyond that point of scrimmage. Victory's were many and knightly tales are told to this day of the mythical oline beasts named Hogs.

sounds amazing! How can we get one of these mystical "olines"?

Rumors abound, but one has heard of a place called "the draft". Many winds swirl in and around this mystical place, where warriors are found and picked. From these warriors, it is said, one may find a true Hog, if you are wise in your selection. Careful though for there are many seers that say to seek the qb, or relinquish your rights to search in this "draft" for the fast and sleek of the WR animals. These Hogs are difficult beasts to train, but once found the legend assures that they will bring victory and peace to the land for many many years

Fred Davis has had basically, 3/4 of a good season...let's see what he has to offer for at least another season before we start calling him a pro bowler

We've already started the process. In an abbreviated summary, you trade a "Vinny" for an "oline".

I said "potential" Pro Bowler.

Have you watched him after catching a pass? He refuses to go down. He has some cleanup to do on his game, like eliminating penalties and mistakes, but his future looks incredibly bright. He's like Antonio Gates, Jr.

Re: Cooley for Marshall?????
 

Guys, O-line isn't the only thing we need to address in the offseason. We don't have enough play makers on offense. Even if we had an all pro offensive line, Kelly and Thomas aren't the answer. Both have a whopping 25 receptions this year. So yes, I would be all for getting more playmakers on offense. Trade Cooley for Marshall.

Re: Cooley for Marshall?????
 

How do we really know what we have with our WRs when we mostly ran quick/short routes?

Re: Cooley for Marshall?????
 

To the question of the thread, NO!

If we trade Cooley, it makes no sense to swap him for a WR, especially one with known attitude problems.

Given that Shanahan and Marshall had a falling out in Denver, I can't see Shanny doing it, anyway.

Exactly. I was watching a little of Redskins Kickoff on CSN yesterday before the game and I thought I spotted a Warpath member on the texts they scroll at the bottom of the screen. It said "Enough of the checkdowns, Campbell, throw it deep!"

I thought to myself "hey genius, how do you go deep without time for the WRs to get down the field!?!?!?"

Those comments are always retarded.

Re: Cooley for Marshall?????
 

Just heard Mortensen on ESPN say that Shanny tried to trade B.M before he left Denver. T.O will land here before B.M.
