Brunell Is Hot on Cooley
Rookie H-back Chris Cooley fast became one of quarterback Mark Brunell's favorite
targets,
particularly in the red zone, but opposing teams seem to be
catching on to that tendency. Cooley is a big, athletic player
with a knack for finding soft spots in the defense. Brunell
looks to him often when throwing on the run or on bootleg calls,
and lately, the rookie has been
drawing much more attention.
Brunell went to Cooley on third and five from the Cleveland 13 on Sunday, and the
Browns were
in tune with the call, keeping a player on Cooley. The pass was
incomplete. Brunell threw to Cooley twice during a possession in
the second quarter -- on first and third downs -- and neither of
those passes were completed either, with the Browns in good
coverage. Cooley's good hands and presence as a safe option for
the quarterback have resulted in him getting many balls thrown
his way in clutch situations, but those passes might be spread
around to slot receivers like James Thrash or tight end Walter
Rasby more now that opposing teams are keying on Cooley.
Brunell threw to Cooley four times on Sunday and none of those passes were caught.
Against
Dallas the previous week, Cooley was a focal point in goal-line
situations, and the Cowboys seemed to have a sense the ball
might go to him. In Week 2 Cooley lined up on the left side of
the line in a goal-line package, quickly engaged his blocker,
got him leaning inside, then ran a route into the end zone;
Brunell, meantime, faked a handoff to running back Clinton
Portis and ran a bootleg to his left, finding Cooley wide open
for his first NFL touchdown and Brunell's first scoring pass as
a Redskin. When the Redskins ran that play to the right side on
the goal line against the Cowboys, Dallas quickly broke up the
play, getting penetration off the line. Brunell's pass was
deflected by linebacker Dexter Coakley and nearly intercepted.
The quarterback has been at his best throwing outside of the pocket, with Cooley
often shaking
off a linebacker in the middle of the field. As Cooley draws
more attention, other players have become open slightly deeper
downfield, however, with Laveranues Coles catching a pass and
getting to the 1-yard line in such a situation against Dallas
and a similar play unfolding
against the Browns.

O Unlucky Dan -
http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W9RT0446401CD2949E17F3F44568D0 Dan Snyder has to be
wondering where things
went wrong this time, writes Tony Kornheiser. Snyder has tried
virtually everything to turn the franchise around and has been
met with failure and
disappointment at every turn.

Williams Likely to Play Again, but Not in Miami -
http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W9RT0446406C92949E17F3F44568D0 Tailback Ricky
Williams probably will play in
the NFL next season, but it likely will be for a team other than
the Miami Dolphins. Several people familiar with the case said
this week they expect the Dolphins to trade the retired running
back before he returns to the league.
