Cooper’s career average is worse than Erickson and Cooper averaged 5.9 ypr last year. Erickson was 10.1 ypr last year and 10.3 yesterday. Why again would we want Cooper and why is he considered upside?

10 ypr is solid. 

Still better than anything we had for the last 7-8 years prior.

Yeah they've gone for the safe pair of hands back there - someone that's not going to muff the punt / will fair catch it when appropriate and can sneak 10 yards or so.

He's not a dynamic returner at all, but I guess those are hard to find. Lord knows they've been looking for one!

I swear it was like the punt return didnt even try to block, piss poor effort and coaching. First time since Balckburns hire that effort seemed below bar. Step it Chase, new standard !!

You realize the just about all of our special teams groupings is comprised of all new members right?

True, I mean that didnt effect them last year. They just had a bad day(I hope). For sure Chase has plenty to fix this week.....and the week after......"". Worse blocked game in Chase Era, even kick-off return was awful. Gave no chances to the returner when 4 players are in your face after a couple steps. JJ had a rare penalty as well.

I'd take that over putting DJ back there every game.

It's a work in progress.   Most of these new guys have never played special teams since high school.  Hopefully we see significant improvement the next game.  Lord knows we are going to need it.

Yep, honestly Chase had given me a feeling of security no matter his player pool. Hes had a great run with very little to work with, just the first bad game. Im still a believer/fan.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      Tight ends in the first round just have so much risk. Even guys that look like guarantees at the position, fail. OJ Howard is a big one that comes to mind (and I REALLY liked him and thought he was going to be a stud in the NFL). I know that every player/position can be a gamble, but when you look at Kyle Pitts (he's come a long way, but he has clearly underperformed), TJ Hockenson, Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant, Eric Ebron, etc., NONE of these guys changed the dynamic of their team for the better. Zero. In fact, most of them end up being traded before their rookie deal is up. This draft has some good tight ends. I wouldn't spend a 1st on one.

      Not true. I mean, come on dude. You went to "above average" to "solid." The teams that I mentioned have at least three solid options. Let's not waste time going through the motions.  But, maybe someone will see it as fun. Njigba, Shaheed, Kupp (maybe even Barner and/or Arroyo). I didn't even lost everyone. The Jags, Minny, Detroit. I could probably go on. Our WR corps is just not up to snuff. Just admit it.
