Good to hear.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We'll see. Sure hope that's true.

 

[Rayman70]

just win guys

 

[Big_D]

They make a really nice combo and should be extremely productive.

 

[Jarntt]

How is he on curl routes...

 

[GMO415]

Run the damn ball.

 

[jazzcat22]

Good to hear, he has some vet experience to learn from. He never really had that.

That's not true. I specifically remember him asking Coop about route techniques and Coop was more than willing and helpful. Dude was a nice weapon for us, I don't understand why some throw shade at him. It's ironic considering how much hate Dez got for his demeanor and then Coop got the same for being the opposite. (Not saying that is you)

I know Cooper was there to help, but how much did he help. I do not know. So I did not mention him.

I guess with a few years in now, as he was learning from Cooper and the coaches, CeeDee knows much more now. And with Cooks it will make even more sense or easier to grasp and understand. As in not flooded with too much too soon. Maybe Cooper laid some ground work. But nice to see that continued with Cooks.

i do wonder why Cooks has been traded several times to several teams for a guy that has very productive yet never
made a Pro Bowl, despite playing with two great HOF quarterbacks in both New Orleans and NE.

But he brings major pluses, ...great speed game, vertical over the top threat, established, experience vet WR, versatile to play outside as well
as inside in the slot. And he's never been an injury prone wreck.

And Cook also doesn't appear to carry the diva drama ego that a Beckham carries.

Like several ex-Texans players, he really wanted out of Houston, and to my shock, he not only got his wish to depart
Houston, but he got his wish to be a Dallas Cowboy..!!

DON'T HAVE NO EGOS, but have plenty of EAGLES scared of you!!!!!

Pretty sure someone requested this in the deal

I agree, and I wonder how much KMs scheme hurt these guys in regards to options routes. There was a lot of opportunity for miscommunication between pass catchers and the qb.

 

[Zekeats]

This guy is so overrated I have no expectations for him here.

He will at least give defensive coordinators another potential item to concern themselves with. Maybe he pulls some doubles off Lamb and if not, Cooks will perform well against single man stuff.

It's the same thing happenig to Cooper. If it wasn't for Jerry he would likely be on his 4th team by now. Both these WRs hover in exactly the same area. Low end #1 numbers who financially dictate their departure. Now he comes in as a legit #2 for a great price. That's the difference from his previous stops. All stops where he was ultimately replaced as the top receiver. You could bet Cleveland will be shopping for a better #1 in the very near future.

only cooks is not expected to be the lead receiver here now...that's for da Lamb

as a complementary sidekick and his speed and receiving skills he should be a great addition

he certainly helped him at home, but what about on the road? i jest....

i would like to see TY come back too....Lamb/Cooks/Galloop/TY + would be great to bring the bottom 2 along....exciting stuff

I've admired Cooks his whole career. Never thought we'd have him. Probably not what he used to be but I'm happy to have him. Another thing about this guy is he's not a diva. He knows his job.
