You beat me to it. Cooley has three fumbles this year. Portis by comparison has only two, but he has carried/touched the ball 291 times. Cooley has fumbled three times on only 73 touches.

Cooley leads all tight ends in yards after contact. Sure, he could bring his fumbles down to zero if he took a knee after catching the pass, but what he brings to the table is the ability to run with the ball. Three fumbles is meaningless compared to the key first downs he's fought for after initial contact.

I agree wit this statement, unforutnately his fumbles come at the wrong time during the course of a game.
