« Previous EntriesChris Cooley, Blocking Tight End?
Saturday, December 22nd, 2012Just noticed this for reasons unknown: Chris Cooley hasn’t caught a pass since returning to the Redskins two months ago. Here’s the breakdown (snap counts via Pro Football Focus via CSN Washington):
– 7 games

Forty-Seven Endearing Things About No. 47, Chris Cooley

THANK YOU, CHRIS COOLEY
Tuesday, August 28th, 2012The Redskins released Chris Cooley just now. My personal history with Cooley — editing him at Yahoo! Sports, beating him in the Mottram-Cooley throw-off, etc. — aside, it’s safe to say he was one of the best Skins of the past 20 years. He certainly was a fan favorite.
He’ll be missed, and, if his playing [...]

Friday, October 7th, 2011I hired him to blog for Yahoo! Sports’ Shutdown Corner once upon a time, so keep that in mind when I say this: When he puts his heart and some time into it, Chris Cooley is the best athlete blogger I’ve ever seen.

DMV: Did the Skins Diss Cooley?
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011The Redskins said they’d honor Chris Cooley for breaking their record for catches by a tight end, and then they didn’t. It’s a minor but interesting slight, as Cooley, a fan favorite, set the mark in Week 1 and wasn’t recognized for it then or in Week 2. Now the Skins don’t return to FedEx [...]
