| Cooley We didnt get in the red zone much. And when we did, Patrick looked for Cooley. And he would catch it. 6 times. The downside was obviously his yardage. 314 yards on 37 carries. For all starting tight ends, he ranked 21st in yardage. Behind the likes of Ben Troupe, Jerramy Stevens, and a gentleman that calls himself Kris Mangum. Wow, what a bad ass! If Patrick remains at quarterback through the entire season, then Cooley has a good chance of catching more than 6 td's this year. As for yardage, if they dont make a concerted effort to involve him before we get knee deep in their 20, then he will continue to be an effective endzone threat, and nothing else. If Patrick is not starting for one reason or another, then his numbers are a toss up. P.S. He averaged less than 20 receiving yards a game.

| Re: SI.com - Gibbs, 'Skins feeling more comfortable Monksdown, I respectfully and strongly disagree with your assessment of Cooley. First, Cooley didn't even PLAY in 3 games last season (that won't happen in 2005). Second, Gibbs has expressly stated that he didn't realize just how good Cooley was until mid-way through the season. Expect Cooley to get much more work in 2005. Third, in the first half of the season, Cooley had 10 catches for 87 yards. In the latter half of the season Cooley had 27 catches for 227 yards and 4 TDs. If Cooley just plays at the level that he did in the latter half of the season for all of next year (which is highly likely given how piss poor our passing offense was last year), he projects to score 8 TDs on 54 catches for 454 yards - that's a damn good season. That sort of season would put him behind only the likes of Gates, Gonzalez, and Witten. |

| Re: SI.com - Gibbs, 'Skins feeling more comfortable Cooley had 37 catches as a rookie and wasn't even thrown to much until later in the year. Personally I think he'll have no problem topping 50 catches this year as his role in the offense should only increase over last year. He's got soft hands, he knows how to get open, and he's got decent enough speed and power after the catch. |

| Re: SI.com - Gibbs, 'Skins feeling more comfortable Ahhhh...I love where this thread has gone. Needless to say I am a Cooley fan, but my bias is not the only reason I agree with Ramseyfan when I say his numbers will go up. I believe the biggest factor that will lead to an improved year is his relationship with Ramsey. They are good friends and Cooley's sure hands made him an easier target than, say, fiddy-fiddy. The trust Ramsey has in Cooley moves him from a second or third option to a first or second option. That is even more true in the Red Zone. I don't expect him to make the Pro Bowl, but I think he will steadily improve over the next few years. |
