Where is Amari Cooper ??

[JROC INTEL]

Idk since day 1 something seemed off to me with him. I know he’s a quiet guy but maybe something is actually off. He missed practice time for personal reasons, maybe its an issue outside of football. Maybe coach thinks he’s not in the better mental spot than the players out there. Again all maybes I actually have no idea. That would be my guess though.

Be great if he could show up in Kansas City.  Hello Cooper, anyone home?

Very weird.......you would think a chance at winning a Super Bowl in a contract year would be enough to motivate him.....

I hope Brady gets asked about it this week.

 

Last week he played 39% of snaps, this week it was down to 34%. 
 

After that first attempt to Hollins tonight it felt like the Bills stopped trying anything on the outside (Coleman did have the PI).

They aren't saving him for anything.  They've struggled to get him involved since day 1.  Brady has no clue what to do with him.  I don't know who the next OC will be, but Josh deserves someone like what Spags gives KC. Someone offensively competent who will stick around 5 years.  That was the worst called 2nd half I've ever seen from Brady.

I think McDermott was controlling the playcalling, telling him what to call, slow balling.

We've been saying this for 2 months?  Either Brady refuses to scheme him or there's a problem with him and the coaches. It's kinda hard for Josh to establish chemistry with a guy we never target?  I'm afraid this has become a wasted 3rd.

On the 3rd and 8 deep middle ball to Shakir on the first drive, Cooper was running a corner route and he pulled the safety to him which opened up Shakir down the middle.

There was another play I think to Samuel where he drew double coverage from the safety and corner that left the underneath man wide open. 

 

My tin foil hat says this is McDermott giving the middle finger to Beane in a power move to show who is boss.  Go back to the first PC after the trade and McDermott didn't seem happy about it all.  defended the guys that were already there.

 

Brady called a brutal game.  I just can't imagine why they would not take shots with Cooper against either of their outside corners.  Cooper has made some of the best catches of the season.  They really need to get him going more.
