who cares?? I mean honestly, the season is a waste, I feel for Cooley because now he is going to have to rehab that but it might be merciful to let him sit out and not have to participate in this horrible team...
Also, giving Davis some more responsibility and game experience might be a good idea because he seems like a solid young building block whom it might be advisable to keep around through the upcoming rebuilding.

I agree with that statement Gmac. We are going nowhere and it is time to just let the young talent get on the field.

If you want a blocking TE put in Yoder than. Lets use F.Davis strengths which is his pass catching. Not only Davis cant block but half the O-Line cant block. WTF happen to Sellers blocking this year? He is playing soft and i never see his man on the ground.

Do you believe anything Zorn says?

It's not good when your second string TE is almost as bad as your starting LT at pass blocking.

Let us all agree that Cooley's blocking good or bad was the least thing that we had to worry about in this offense.

I feel bad for Cooley--he's a good guy. But whatever. The season is in the toilet. Let's see what FD can do.

So much for Heyer being our best offensive player thus far I guess.

Well, I mean, what's been done in the past is what it is. He's been our best lineman this year, which hardly guarantees his spot on next years team. Seriously. The only guy who is a good bet to be back is Dockery, and that's because he has a really good contract.

Our receivers are pathetic. Just horrendous. And the Quarterback situation has deteriorated every year since 2006. So with Cooley out, Heyer still might be the best guy on the field, especially if we put Todd Collins in at QB. That doesn't mean I forsee a pro bowl in his future, or even a contract.

Glad he's getting hurt during a lost cause for a season rather then a playoff run. Ironically this injury might extend his career. Still we're getting closer and closer to that 5th overall pick.
