He just has to get some reps in doing it, Cooley wasn't really any better when he came into the NFL.

I hope all Davis needs is some reps and practice at blocking and hopefully he'll get better because we'll obviously be counting on him for the rest of the season.

And I am telling you Cooley is a below average blocker at the very best.

HE IS A PASS CATCHING TIGHT END. PERIOD.

I like Cooley very much, but he is what he is.

Zorn says it's not certain he'll be out for the year.

We out gained them, We also had 21 first downs to their 11. And we won time of possession. that's probably why this loss didn't feel quite as bad.

It just goes to show whoever is making these GM type decisions is a clown.

Fred Davis looked liked Cooley.

That's awesome. Like we really need two Cooley's?

This might be the booze talking but I seem to remember Cooley playing Fullback...

I think it's 6-8 weeks but he'll probably end up being out the whole year. What did Zorn say exactly?

alot of that was JUNK yardage, we are a joke on offense, its a shame that this D has to put up with this shit.. If dallas had our d, they would be a 12 win team

And I am telling you that Cooley did a serviceable job at least. He sure as hell wasn't a world beater but more often than not he did a decent job. WHICH WE SURE CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR FRED DAVIS.

I AGREE HE IS A PASS CATCHING TIGHT END. Jesus Christ.

All I'm saying is that for as bad as you believe Cooley's blocking was, prepare to see how much worse it could be once he's gone for the year.

I heard him say it in the post-game presser on MASN. Just said he's not sure it's an 'out for the year' type injury. Like you said, could be 8 weeks, just in time for him to be back for the ... playoffs.
