Twitter: Cooper was effectively benched

I'm sure there was nobody good we could have gotten with that 1st rounder. No big loss.

 

[Praxit]

....re-sign him for a Mickey's Happy meal.

This means that Garrett was essentially being polite in the pc. If he talked the way most people want him to he would have said we benched him for not being good enough today.

 

[PBCCowboy]

Poor effort. It was evident.

 

[basstapp]

Not going to lie, he played like crap. Cobb should have been on the field though.

The Eagles were doubling him through out the game . They would have doubled him in that situation. Even if he was not playing well, he would have been more effective as a decoy than Austin and Bryant in that situation. This is another dumb mistake my JG and the coaching staff.

Yeah, don't buy it. You don't have your #1 receiver on the bench with the game on the line regardless of how poor he is playing. Someone is getting thrown under the bus again to protect coaches. What is the explanation for no Cobb? It was a function of some twerp calling the wrong personnel package for that situation. Witten was in the game and he wasn't exactly lighting it up.

Wow. He sucked that bad that he was benched in favor of Austin and Bryant. And you guys want to keep him? Garrett’s way of doing things is very stupid, but Amari is obviously not living up to standards. Him or Dak will walk at the end of the season. Hopefully both.

Look at Cooper's last eight games.

This is why Oakland gave up on him.

Bad coaching decision.
Bad that cooper didn't refuse to leave the field.
Cowboys tried to dictate defensive coverage instead of putting the ball in the hands of a playmaker.

Give him a chance to turn it around. There is no way Witten and Bryant are better options on that play. Let him draw coverage his way at least. And what about Cobb?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Not buying it, a poor playing Amari is 100X better than Austin and whoever else was in there. I'm betting Witten was in there even though he played like crap.

I'll be waiting for the excuse for why Cobb wasn't in there either.....

His body language was horrible.

Just like it was against Chicago, Buffalo, half the season.

 

[SlammedZero]

To be honest, who hasn't regressed this year under this coaching staff? It's just time for a change.

Really? Look at Cooper's last eight games. Then look at ALL of his road games as a Cowboy.

Just like last year, he complained about running that stupid curl pattern play after play...… Seems like every year there's a WR to scapegoat or throw under the bus, to make that idiot Garrett look good.

Then he isn't worth being here if they won't even play him with the season on the line. Another #1 pick down the drain.

 

[John813]

Hes a hot and cold receiver when it comes to drops.

I remember last year with the raiders X. Howard got in his head and shut him out

Garrett has zero to do with the offense.
