He had to play more of a traditional TE role rather than the downfield stuff that Saunders had him running, or the more versatile h-back stuff that Gibbs had him in. I give Cooley a lot of credit for playing w/in the system & improving the less heralded part of his game. I don't recall him dropping much either.

Plus he played on one of the worst offenses in the league. Hard to stat-up on a team that only throws 13 TDs all year.
