Edgerrin Cooper

He deserves his own thread...
Edge just nabbed NFL Rookie of the month!! Love how he's excelled since returning from his November hammy. Keep it going, Edge!

I saw that. What a draft selection!

When we selected Edgerrin I was literally a hootin’ and hollerin”. My wife is a witness.

There’s a funny video by Tom Grossi I’ll see if I can find it and post. It’s good for a chuckle. It’s reminiscent of my feelings when he was drafted.

I said we’d be formidable at LB if we got Cooper. I already touted Eric Wilson from the Vikings before many knew what to think. We knew McDuffie was at least solid.

My fear is how the team makes these decisions.A rookie in a playoff game? Nah, he gets used sparingly.He might make a mistake or two, but with his proven performance and ability I'd have him on the field all day.

Absolutely. He's a game changer. He needs to have a big game and help slow Barkley.

Cooper's energy level makes him a good 3rd and long candidate for blitzing. He needs to be out there.

Actually, if you watch Cooper closely he makes a lot more than one or two glaring mistakes per game. What helps is that he makes good plays after bad plays, so he covers it up well. I think that this is the ultimate reason why the coaches have been nursing him along. He still needs lots of coaching on the sideline. It's not like Quay is the guy that we want giving Cooper advice in-game due to Cooper being on the field 100% of the time.

IMO this guy would go in the first round EASY in a re-draft.

Arguably has been the best linebacker in the league - not just rookies, the whole league - over the last month or so.
