Hollins is a fringe WR and Cooper has been excellent pretty much his entire career. Hollins is a better blocker than Cooper and I expect we’ll continue to rotate at WR to an extent…but yes Cooper is light years ahead of Mack as a pass catching threat and can take over games when given double digit targets. 5 Quote
LABILLBACKER Posted October 28 Posted October 28 14 minutes ago, PoundingDog said: Keon and Shakir are rolling in the game. Why do you want to change? This is the difference between Cooper and Diggs. Diggs wants to win and win thru him. Cooper is going to do his best when called upon. I agree and as Shakir & Keon eat, there will be plenty of opportunities for Amari. Quote

I was agreeing with the sentiment that Cooper could/should be getting more opportunities because he's a better player than Hollins, but just didn't do it very clearly. 2 Quote

Which, to be honest, is good to see them separating and making plays on their own. Interesting… and agree it’s good. But still curious about Copper. Quote

Dr.Sack Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Cooper is gonna be on a pitch count. It’s a long ramp. Goal is to have him firing on all cylinders come January. 2 Quote

That's No Moon Posted October 28 Posted October 28 (edited) Either way, Cooper's existence requires the defense to plan for him in a way that they didn't have to plan for Hollins. Ernest Jones has to be pretty salty. Played the Bills 2 weeks in a row and got beat down by the Bills two weeks in a row. Edited October 28 by That's No Moon 2 Quote

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted October 28 Posted October 28 (edited) 1 hour ago, Virgil said: Is it me, or was Cooper on the field less against the Seahawks than he was the Titans? I’m not knocking him because of the interception, but I feel like he was hardly out there in the second half. I’m typically looking out for Hollins to get a feel for what kind of play is coming, and hardly noticed Cooper. Did I miss something? I’m trying to find a screen shot of it, but there was a moment on the sidelines where the whole team is cheering and high-fiving and Cooper is standing there in the middle of it w/ his arms crossed staring straight. He looked absolutely miserable. Normally I don’t look into these things too much, but it was a weird moment. Edit: it reminded me of Forrest Gump where everyone is celebrating New Years and Leuitenant Dan is like FML Edited October 28 by ChronicAndKnuckles 1 1 Quote
DrPJax Posted October 28 Posted October 28 1 hour ago, clayboy54 said: Josh was pissed off at him for the interception. Did Josh say that or is this just your opinion? More likely the latter as coop slipped on a very wet field , just like others did. Wasn’t a blown route or effort thing and they were reported talking amicably after the game. Josh doesn’t blame others , a very admirable quality. If he hasn’t said anything bad about diggs , with all his visible complaining and cryptic Twitter crap , he isn’t going to blame coop for slipping on one play. I think you’re stating this tongue in cheek , but couldn’t tell with just that short statement. Besides , Josh rarely is critical of anyone after a win. He was lucky his kicked dropped fumble didn’t cost the team at the time , so he has no room to look at any play other than his own. Several breaks went the bills way today so they need to just stay focused on improvement " Like eliminating dumb penalties. Time to keep working on improvement as a team as bigger tests are coming. 1 1 Quote
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 28 Posted October 28 It's not like I have particular insight but I think it was a combination of a few factors. 1) Opponent: from what I've dug up, Seattle loves to run zone coverage. Keon and Shakir have had no issue beating that this year. Seattle has also ranked near the bottom in run defense. 2) Field conditions: it was a downpour with the field and ball slick (as we saw many times) Were I, a complete novice, to cook up a situational game plan my immediate thought would be to explore the team strength/weakness by putting primary attack on the run game (Cook went off 100+ yards, 2 TDs) and shorter timing routes. Those are things it takes time to build chemistry on and I don't think Cooper is there yet, especially when you had two options that were working wonders Quote
