Does Cooper start tonight?

[fairviewfarmer]

SIAP, but just wondering does he make the starting line up? Or does that take a week or two?

From what I've seen he is expected to.

Yes, it was reported.

 

[jday]

Everything I've read (and I've read everything) suggest that he will start and figures to be a significant part of the offensive gameplan.

 

[dragon_mikal]

He better start and he needs to make an immediate impact.

 

[Carson]

He better

 

[jazzcat22]

Cooper will start, and he will make a difference for the good guys right away.

First play from scrimmage a bomb down the sidelines. Just as Jerry drew it up. Only it is under thrown and intercepted ...

 

[Supercowboy1986]

I would think so.

It would be a huge red flag if the coaching staff couldn’t prepare AC to run his 3 routes in 2 weeks.

Not until after we run Zeke up the gut, bootleg, get a holding. THAN we do that

And Jason Witten will say...well, as Tony Romo says, that is as good as Punt.

In preparation for this game, I can’t begin to tell you how many personnel guys have come up and told me what a difference Amari Cooper has made on the field already. They say that he practices at a different level and are excited to see him in a game. Scott Linehan told the media this week that there was no easing him in, and you should believe him. Cooper has been a fast learner and he will be an extensive part of the game plan.

Opponents have attacked the Titans’ secondary with remarkable success when it comes to throwing the deep ball -- and it hasn’t come against just one player. Malcolm Butler and Adoree’ Jackson have had their issues defending receivers in those one-on-one situations, especially early in games. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup will get some opportunities here – count on it.

[Risen Star]

He starts and never stops.

You want to get absolutely crapfaced tonight? Do a shot after every Cooper reception.

 

[charron]

Hm start cooper or the under performing hurns...tough choice.

Unequivocally YES.

The only way he does not start is if Garrett wants Jerry to fire him at halftime.

Zeke has the opportunity to have a big game tonight, so I'm quite certain Linehan will have Dak throw it 30+ times. Obviously, we need to have a few successful passing plays to keep the box >8 guys, but instead of running the ball 25-35 times, Linehan will get pass happy as he tries out his new toy and tries to save his job.

I'm a fan of the trade for Cooper, and firmly believe he'll be worth the price - for the same reasons many have already stated. Whether it's because he ignites the offense and has great chemistry with Dak, or he helps expose Dak and gets us looking for another QB...it's a plus either way. The only concern is, there needs to be an overwhelming amount of evidence one way or the other, for the front office to make a decision. Otherwise, the Jones's will spin it as "progress" and/or "potential", and we'll end up with the same performance next year.

Jerry has shown before that he allows the big play (highlight) ability of the player, to cast a cloud of positivity over deficiencies and the lack of basic skills - like an accurate pass on a deep in-route.

Kale Yeah! DAL just gave up a 1st rounder for Cooper, so he better.

Question is, should Gallup start over Hurns?

 

[Jipper]

yes and hes also in my fantasy starting lineup

 

[viman96]

He definitely starts. Who is the #2 WR now? Gallup or Hurns?

I think they are going to swap in and out between them. Hopefully they will use Hurns in the slot on occasion as that has always been his strength.
