Re: Cooley - Redskins or no one
 

As far as I am concerned, anyone with eyes last year saw that Cooley was done. Period. Scheme and "chances" had nothing to do with it. I'm a Cooley fan...but stick a fork in him.

Re: Cooley - Redskins or no one
 

We need to move on from the mindset of the Vinny Cerrato era where we'd cling to aging vets like Brian Kozlowski and Todd Yoder out of nostalgia and loyalty over what's good for the team's future.

I don't know what you're referring to per se, but if it was my comment that behind Paulsen we don't have anything solid at TE beyond this season...you're gdamn right I said it :)

good stuff; Cooleys one of my all time favorite Redskins. I'm glad we had him for so many years reping the B&G.

How many teams (other than NE) actually have a solid 3rd-string TE?

TE is not an urgent area of need. I don't think we should use a draft pick on a TE in the first 6 rounds with much more pressing needs at other positions.

I'm expecting Shanallen to wheel and deal and get us MINIMUM 10 picks by the end of the draft...maybe a dozen, similar to 2011 when they boosted the number of picks from 6 to 12 by the end.

What teams are loaded at 3rd string TE?

Between Paulsen, Davis, and Paul, we're loaded. IMO hopefully Davis will avoid suspension. Paulsen is a decent blocker and traditional TE reciever not the modern "WR playing TE" guy. Paul is so fast and hustles so much on special teams, if he had hands and ran routes better he'd be our best pass catcher hands down!

And I thought you knew football Lotus. CC will make All Pro this year! (At something..not sure what.) And as far as those who criticize him for chasing women...I.applaud him for that. Just part of his strenuous workout regiment.

Re: Cooley - Redskins or no one
 

I'm a big Cooley fan, but honestly I don't think it is a big deal if he is on the team or off the team. Personally, I don't think he's the 50 year old TE people make him out to be and it's not like we need an all-pro at the third string TE position. Likewise, I don't think it will be the end of the world if he is not on the team. Honestly, I don't know why people get all riled up at for either situation.

Hey, I know football. It is my unique idea that we should trade RGIII for Tebow. Super Bowl!

Bam! Just like that you restored my faith in you! I have some s*** on ebay I'd like to sell you my friend! :) Actually I think Ruhskins pretty much nailed it. Personally I think he has something left to offer...I get my eyes checked in 3 weeks...but it's not gonna make or break the team either way.

Re: Cooley - Redskins or no one
 

I love Cooley and would like to see him get another full training camp with us before they shut the door but also would not hurt my feelings to see him sign a one day contract and retire a skin for life.
