Right. When the other TEs are in the game Bob is cool with getting them the ball but when CC is in the game he is trying so hard not to that he'll force it elsewhere. So not only is Shanny holding CC back he has a conspiracy with RGIII to do so.

I mean, what's obvious is Mike/Kyle have left him out of the passing game. Instead, they work in Paul who drops passes, bobbles after the catch and doesn't get any YAC, etc.

Is there a meaningful difference between the statements?

Truly one of the dumbest posts I've ever read here. Do you not watch us play? Cooley is rarely targeted, but myself and others have seen him open. It's pretty simple. All the nonsense you added is just...nonsense.

In place of Davis, yes he should be. Cooley lost his way when he ended up on IR two straight seasons. But it seems when he gets healthy and he's ready to play, he's all of a sudden not in this regime's plans even if he is still capable of contributing a great deal.

it's getting heated in here.

coo-ley! coo-ley! coo-ley!

Paul gets what, maybe 1-2 looks a game? Who cares.

They obviously feel more comfortable with Cooley blocking. Or maybe they've had some plays with him involved in the passing game and things just haven't gone his way for whatever reason.

Why does there always have to be some sort of conspiracy with you?

Paul has only been targeted four times in the past 5 games, how is that taking passes away from anyone? Please explained in a coherent way with facts. Thanks.

(Keep in mind that I don't like Paul)

what about shockey, he's healthy

winslow is healthy

todd heap?

gonzalez is the rare exception.

gates is 32 and has already fallen off

[REDSKINS4ever]

How about they make Cooley a fullback and put Darrell Young back at LB?

[Ruhskins]

This is how irrelevant this TE discussion is...

Targets in the past 5 games by receivers:

Garcon 36
Morgan 30
Paulsen 16
Hank 14
Moss 12
Paul 4
Robinson 4

RG3's top targets are Garcon and Morgan. After that, RG3 is going to distribute the ball, so it really doesn't matter who's playing at TE other than Davis. And even then, I don't think RG3 was looking his way a lot.

And again, you don't think that Bob has his receivers he's comfortable with? My guess is that Bob has an attitude similar to Shanahan's. I am going to go to the guys I trust and who I know will be where they were in practice. Seems like he has thrown to a number of TE's, but also that he has "his" guys, Garcon, and Davis clearly were his first guys. By the time he gets down to Cooley, I think he is debating whether he is better off running or tossing.

(all speculation on my part)

You obviously don't read your own stuff.

Boom.

You didn't have (sarcasm) in there, so I assume you're serious? WTF...I'm not talking conspiracy. What are you talking about? It's not a conspiracy when the coaches decide to leave a player out of the passing game. It could be a mistake, especially when you keep going back to a different player who doesn't execute. I thought that's what we're discussing here, no?
