Amari Cooper, I like him more everyday (ESPN article)

[RochesterLifer]

I think a lot of players' on-field displays of emotion are phony advertisements. I despised Diggs' "must win" showmanship. I really like Amari Cooper and I hope we keep him. 

The quiet confidence of Amari Cooper

With so many sh-t talkers in the NFL it is refreshing to see a man be just that, a man, 

 

GO BILLS!!!

Quote

 

Off the field, Cooper said the close-knit nature of the team differs from other places and that carries to the field.

 

Asked what differs between the culture of the Bills and Cooper's other teams, he answered in a fashion undeniably true to himself.

 

"I just feel like it's a little bit more," Cooper said. What did he mean by that? "A little bit of more togetherness."

 

Bills players note they can be themselves under McDermott, an approach McDermott credits to making the work more enjoyable and he gives players an opportunity to be or become the best versions of themselves.

 

 

McDermott is a very good coach. That he made the playoffs with this no-name roster is quite an achievement. He knows how to handle Gen-Z athletes, so many coaches do not.

Honestly, what we need are 2 more Amri Coopers......just a decade younger.  But that requires the GM to make significant investments through draft picks in the WR room after he just did it last season.  And yes.....I realize he did this with Coleman last season, but Coleman has proven to be exactly what we thought he would be coming out of college.......a guys that can't separate consistently at the NFL level due to lack of explosiveness and speed that will make the occasional big play, especially off script, in contested ball situations.  I find it very difficult to believe that he will ever be more than a low end WR2 or WR3-WR4 depending on how you want to use him out of the slot.  

 

But yeah, we need 2 game breakers at the WR position that don't mind sharing the ball, that work their tails off, and keep their mouths shut.  Good luck finding them.

Did you really despise Diggs? Be honest! In year 1, did you despise his franchise record 127 catches and 1500 yards receiving? I call BS. 

 

I will donate $500 dollars to anyone's charity of choice if they can find one post saying they despised Diggs showmanship in year 1? Year 2? 

 

PS I like Cooper's demeanor too but like Diggs just as much

An Amari in hand is worth two in the bush. 😊

Work on your reading comprehension, my friend. I said I despised his “must win” showmanship. Excluding January, he was fantastic for 3.5 years. But wow, what a diva.

I thought his kneeling bit in KC was attention seeking and I said as much back then.
