Chris Cooley/Fred Davis

[tryfuhl]

I'm not saying trade Cooley now, just it's not to soon to put Davis in and make it his job to lose, with the weight loss and speed increase they should find ways to get him.time at TE, WR, and maybe out of the backfield

One of the "knocks" on Fred Davis back in 2008 was that he could not learn his assignments quickly and that is why he saw limited action then. That was in the far more "vanilla" offense of the Zorn Era. It seems after three years in the league he is better at route running and blocking and that sort of thing.

Now you are suggesting that he try to learn assignments at WR and ouut of the backfield - - in addition to retaining the ones at TE. Maybe that would work - -but might it take a while for him to be sufficiently reliable at those poisitions that the 2011 season would pass by?
