But me, man you can see the difference just his presence seems to be making, especially against the Eagles. Philadelphia started off playing single-safety high against the Cowboys, but eventually morphed into Cover-2, with the two safeties over the top. They were worried about Cooper defeating their corners in single coverage.

Also, detected less blitzing. The last thing defensive coordinators want is one receiver smoking them for a touchdown in one fell swoop.

You know, we had Hall of Fame defensive tackle and 18-year NFL assistant coach and scout “Mean” Joe Greene on our Dallas Cowboys Legends Show Wednesday night, and he concurred, plus sure sounded as if he’s been paying attention to these Cowboys games.

This may be a game that they start having to double Coop. I heard that are gonna play Elliot so if Dak can hit Coop on some big plays early they may have to change there game plan in the second half.
 
Totally agree on presense being an important component. I stressed this in the 2014 season with Romo to Dez despite most of the offense funneling through Murray.

Greene noticed the Amari difference, too, how the Eagles’ defense backed off, especially from crowding the line of scrimmage. Sometimes presence is just as important as plays.

Joe also noticed the other receivers seemingly running crisper routes. He said sometimes a coach can teach and teach, but when they see a guy on the team run a route a certain way whatever they’ve been taught sinks in.

“They see how he can take the top off a route,” Joe said.

And Cowboys wide receiver coach Sanjay Lal agrees, and why he has a reel of how routes are run by some of the top receivers in the league, and that would include Sunday’s opponent Julio Jones, along with Antonio Brown.

“I show them different clips,” Lal says, “like maybe a reel of say a Julio running whatever route.”

In fact, Lal said he showed his group four clips of the Giants last game, ones with Odell Beckham Jr. running two fade routes, back to back, a great one and one that could have been better.

So, thanks for the insight there, Joe.

Lal also is noticing how defenses are adjusting to Cooper’s mere presence, like on the opening play against Philly when the defense shifted to where they expected Cooper to be, but as it turned out, Beasley was in that spot instead.

Lets see were they stand after the next 5 games, I swear Mickey is the king of DC propaganda. Jerry must pay him a bundle to write the trash he does.
 
Cooper will eventually start opening up this Offense. I don’t think teams are game planning for him yet because they still want Dak to beat them with his arm. He has to start to using the deep middle of the field.
 
Is it Cooper or has the OL been better? I vote for the OL.
