The Dallas Cowboys are working hard to get Amari Coop

er up-to-speed with the playbook. Having a bye week is obviously beneficial to that cause Dallas Cowboys Hoodie , and it sounds like the Cowboys and Cooper are pulling out all the stops, including weekend sessions with Copper and members of the team/staff.How quickly the Cowboys can incorporate Cooper into their attack could be the key issue of the season given how poorly the Cowboys offense has fared to this point. They may have to throw caution to the win and just feed Cooper no matter what his mastery of the playbook turns out to be. Obviously targets are a result of getting open, so you can’t just feed him the ball if he’s not open and available. But there is the middle ground of focusing on a receiver, and giving him an opportunity to get the ball even if there is a defender in the area. Cooper has an odd plot of targets this year in the Oakland offense. In five games (throwing out the Seattle game when he was hurt) his targets are three, ten, five, twelve, and one. In the games where he had double-digit targets, he had 116 yards and 128 yards. In the last six games of 2017 in Oakland, he never had double-digit targets and generally looked like he was used less and less. If the Cowboys are going to feed Cooper, the targets will have to come from somewhere. Where will Cooper’s targets come from? Cole Beasley leads Dallas with 43 targets on the year, Ezekiel Elliott is second with 36. Third is Allen Hurns with 28. That’s where most of those targets should come from. Deonte Thompson also has 18. Between those two you have 46 targets, the majority of those should now end up with Cooper.One thing Cooper has fixed, according to the ESPN article linked above, is his drops. So far in 2018 he only has one. The Cowboys obviously didn’t trade for Cooper to not use him, but they may do well to feed him. Zeke is famous for the “feed me” emote, but Amari Cooper may have to get in on that, too. Coaches and players get asked all sorts of goofy questions all the time. (And I know Customized Dallas Cowboys Jerseys , because I often ask said goofy questions during interviews.)On Tuesday, Washington coach Jay Gruden was asked by reporters whether he likes his new starting quarterback, Colt McCoy.“Yeah, I like everybody. I even like you,” Gruden said in response, with a laugh. “Yeah, I do like Colt. I like his competitive nature and I think he brings a lot to this football team. When you’re running scout team, it’s not always easy, but he brings a competitive fire to the defense. He helps the defense considerably. He helps our receivers get better, talking to them, our [running backs]. He’s made our team better as a result of him being out here working with the young kids on scout team and now it’s his opportunity to work with the ones and I’m excited to see it.”McCoy and Gruden arrived in 2014, and McCoy has served as a backup to Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, and Alex Smith. In fact, the organization felt so strongly about McCoy that, before applying the franchise tag to Cousins for a second time in 2017, the team seriously considered letting Cousins leave as a free agent and elevating McCoy to the starting job. “At Texas, he was one of the all-time winningest quarterbacks in the history of college football Womens Amari Cooper Jersey ,” Gruden said. “You’ve got to have a little bit of respect for the guy to know that he can compete and play. But it wasn until we really got him that I got to know him and watch him play and progress, that I thought we have a pretty special guy here in the building. When you have a chance to have two quarterbacks, last year we had Kirk [Cousins] and Colt, this year we had Alex [Smith] and Colt, it’s a heck of a benefit. We’re paying him pretty good to be our backup for a reason in case something like this happens, we feel very comfortable. I’ve seen him out here. I know nobody else has. . . . I’ve seen him progress as a player, as a person throughout his stint here. But now it’s a matter of live reps, he hasn’t taken a lot. Last week was the first time he’s taken them since preseason and he didn take any last year in the regular season, just in the preseason. So, I think that’s the biggest issue we are going to see, is how he handles the live reps, the entire game plan with the cadence, the protections, all that. It’s just a little bit different than sitting on the sidelines and helping out your buddy. I fully anticipate he is ready to go and I think he’ll have a big day.”McCoy beat the Cowboys in Dallas on a Monday night in 2014. Now, McCoy gets a chance to do it again, before a huge audience on one of the biggest days of the regular season. With first place in the NFC East hanging in the balance.
