Cooper Takes Blame For 2 INTs From Sunday
It’s hard to imagine that a player who posted a career-high 226 receiving yards in the previous game would be asked to addressed a first-quarter drop, but that was the first question addressed to Amari Cooper on Wednesday.

Yet, Cooper wasn’t too put off by the question. In fact, he even acknowledged the significance of his key drop in the first quarter of the Packers game Sunday that likely prevented a scoring opportunity and resulted in an interception.

Cooper not only admitted fault for not catching that pass, but even placed blame on himself for the second interception Dak Prescott threw in the second quarter.

My clairvoyance suggests there will be people applauding his comments. Some will say he is just covering for his QB.

But the majority will not take this at face value because there are just so many football brainiacs on this site.

Falling on the sword for his QB, that's an admirable trait.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I don't believe him, he's just taking the fall for Dak

[Dakhateon]I believe Amari...Dak can't throw. He knows if Jerry gets a real QB, he won't get paid.[/Dakhateoff]

 

[Bullflop]

He's a team guy and a humble one at that!

I'm liking this guy, regardless of any claim for blame.

He seems a bright spot on an otherwise underachieving team.

Well stated & I concur.

 

[Doomsay]

Smart, contract-wise. The name of the game is get paid before Dak.

Dak takes the blame for every loss, DakPup. Where have you been?

Football sanity tends set in around Wednesday morning after film.

Dak can't throw crowd have been showering in the 4Int glory only to realize 3 days later Amari is taking a piss.

Julio makes that catch, Endelman beard catches everything, Beast in Houston, a focused OBJ makes that catch...
2 Weeks in a Row Amari has cost the team.

I miss Bill Parcells...

That second pick was the one Witten was yelling about in the Sounds from the Game video this week, re: clearing out the safety.

Interestingly, too, Dak telling Cooper on the first pick to slow down a bit to let the coverage clear out. Maybe that contributed to the ball being a little behind him on that throw?

In any event, I have no idea why OAK traded Cooper at all. He's the kind of guy you build an offense around.

 

[Jake]

I thought the first was on Coop, the second on Dak, and the third on the officials, but I don't know what the players know.

I can buy the first as he should have caught that pass but the second is just Cooper being a loyal teammate and covering for Dak.

 

[NeonNinja]

He’s definitely covering for Dak especially the second one.

Because it's Oakland. *shrug*

Did he "tear up" like Terrel Owens standing up for Romo?

That's how I scored it at home too.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

QBs throw interceptions, all of them do. So I am not one to play the blame game, it is usually multifaceted on every interception. The OL breaks down causing a bad throw, the WR didn't run the right route, bad read by the QB, etc. It just can't keep happening. That said: Coop has to make that catch on the first one. No excuses there, that one was 100% on him. Everyone did their job but him on that play. The other 2 could be a collection errors from different people and I don't know who was supposed to do what, so I won't place any blame on anyone for them. they just need to get it worked out and fast.

 

[starfan1]

Are we not shocked who the folks are that jump to the what else is he going to say? Just missing Pappy and a few others and the whole gang will be here. I do give blame to Dak for second one despite Cooper falling on sword

 

[charron]

Stand up guy regardless of who is at fault.
