Did J Cooper finally earn the LG job?

[Ranching]

Honestly, I didn't watch him carefully, what do you think? left guard, not back up QB.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He runs good. lol

HOFer

 

[Ranching]

Talking about left guard.

 

[Cowboys_22]

Talking about left guard.

HOFer too

 

[Carson]

Yes.

We’re best with Cooper at LG and Chaz backup tackle

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Been saying it since the offseason

 

[gmoney112]

Hard to argue with results today. Niners were pretty good against the run, line allowed 0 sacks as well.

Can it still be debatable?

Glazz Green came in for mop-up duty at left tackle.

 

[Sydla]

I would think so.

At least for now.

 

[speedkilz88]

I thought the LG job should have been Cooper's all season. Chaz should compete at OT.

It didn't hit me that we have 4 1st rounders on that line.......granted, Cooper hasn't played like one and Collins was projected to be one. Essentially 5 1st rpunders.Goodness.

Thing is, Cooper can be a pretty good player for us. We got him on the cheap and he has talent. He was expected to be the centerpiece of the line when he was drafted and injuries kept him from becoming that, now that he is on his second or third chance he can just play and follow the lead of our studs. He had several excellent blocks today playing within the system.

 

[NEODOG]

Cooper is far better at LG

Chaz is lost at that position..... He can be more than adequate swing T

La'el is frickin HUGE, I'm astonished at his size

 

[Aven8]

I saw at least 2 pancake blocks where he pulled that sprung Zeke for big runs. I was impressed.

I expect for him to be. Its going to take some time for him to get some consistency but it wouldn't shock me one bit if he ends up being a solid starter here.

He earned the job 2 weeks ago and was good today.

He already is solid. If he can regain his confidence and continue to learn to work with those around him I would not be surprised by the end of they year to see him mentioned as a possible Pro Bowler.

Lael has to work on his discipline. SO MUCH of what an offensive line player does depends on what the others do. working with them; anticipating what they do and how they do it is so much of each mans job.

That is why TIME playing together is so critical and WHY delaying the decision on cooper vs Green was SO STUPID. The smart thing was to pick Cooper from day one and have him working with the others for the entire training camp. With Green's continue injury problems it was JUST PLAIN DUMB to hang on trying to make him a starter as long as they did.

They had Green play LT in the 4th quarter.

Cooper is really, really good at turning guys to his right. It's kinda odd how good he is at it. And he was good getting to the 2nd level in this game. Had some issues blocking smaller, quicker defenders before today.

Still has some pass pro hand technique issues to clean up on.

Big thing I'm seeing is we got out of using 12 personnel so much as well. All that did was not scare defenses throwing the ball and Hanna hasn't blocked well this year. Now we use more 11 personnel which scares team throwing the ball and then we go to some 21 personnel which is working better in the run game than the 12 personnel.

Great points. Do you mean our coaching staff is actually making changes to try and improve things. Isn't that illegal?
