Finally Cooper shows off his height and comes down with a rediculous one handed catch. Guy is finally healthy and showed he can be a red zone threat if we give him the ball. He's got the height and size to go up and bring it down.

It was a great catch.  I am not comfortable with Vick throwing fades though. It was a better catch than pass, for sure.    But, also Cooper took a bad angle on that punt return and it was the main reason it ended up being a TD.

[L.E.]

Shows that he'll have a shot here next year with the new guy.

That was a helluva grab by Cooper, should go down in the sportscenter top 10 for sure.

[EagleArcher20]

Kind of sad we rarely give him an opportunity in the redzone (Cue the people bringing up the GB playoff game).

I am not comfortable with vick throwing period, in the RZ

I have posted this in the past, Jackson brings nothing to the table inside of the 10 yard line and cooper should be out there instead.  Jackson is a good receiver but he can't block and his speed is useless in the red zone.

Cooper is underused in this offense, period.

[Sean Jerz]

Damn! I was going nuts when Coop snagged that one hand grab for a TD.

Sadly I'm not used to seeing that kind of performance from Eagles receivers in the red zone..

Hope there is more to come..

I have been saying this all year.  Use him in the redzone and just throw the ball up to him.  He is taller than most cornerbacks in the league and should be able to just go up and get the ball.  Hopefully Andy Reid saw this and takes note.  We might be seeing more of Riley Cooper in the coming weeks depending on how serious the Avant injury is.

Avant has a hamstring strain and will "struggle" to play. Time to step up Cooper.

Great catch but 1 for 8 on redzone fades is hardly a redzone threat.

[eephraim]

That catch almost made me cream.

[Arthur Spooner]

We need a legit big physical WR.  I have been saying this since Owens left.

[FlyinBrian36-20]

I remember everyone was saying Coop was garbage and wanted him released to open up a spot for yet another motor midget Gilyard. I was always behind this kid and still am even though he hasn't gotten much done. He was Vince Young' go to guy and he produced when he was actually targeted. It's a shame that packers game has tainted most TATERS vision on him.

[eagles2110]

With Avant out for a game maybe more, Coop on the outside with DJax and Maclin in slot.  I like it, a slot guy with RAC ability.

[LacesOut]

Nice to see a BIG WR, and not another smurf out there.

[Ne12o]

i remember at preseason and the first 8 games and 99% of tate was begging for him to be cut

Sunshine to Cooper = The Hippie Connection



We have 4 white males on this team with long hair. What does that mean?

if they start killing it that means long hair gives you powers. just look at clay matthews.

[EAGLES8690]

Cooper looks like he bulked up.I hope he continues to improve so we can trade soft a** Maclin and save a draft pick on a wr.

Cooper doesn't play the slot

[wydok]

I'd say that it's not really a good thing that Riley Cooper is our red zone threat...

[nottsfootballfan]

I liked his block last week too. He was flagged, but it wasnt a flag.
