It was real nice of Troy Aikman to remind the viewers every time Cooper made a big catch that he is not supposed to be a speed guy and beat guys deep. I wonder why he is not supposed to be a speed guy?
Immediately subsequent to every single one of Cooper’s three lengthy receptions (catches of 25 yards, 32 yards, and 45 yards, respectively), Aikman repeated the exact same sentence, word for word, after the conclusion of each play…
“For a guy that isn’t supposed to be able to run by people in this league, Riley Cooper continues to get open on long passing routes with Nick Foles at quarterback.”
Unfortunately, Little Troy Boy failed to elaborate on his Casteon commentary. The fact is that Cooper runs a 4.5 40-yard dash, which is above average speed for an NFL receiver.
The play in RotoWord alleges that Cooper was “left wide open” (see below) was due to a great fake Cooper made against Morgan Burnett, who was a mere 5-yards away attempting to cover him, before Cooper separated...

And he certainly wasn’t “left wide open” on his 45-yard TD…

The System’s worst nightmare grows darker each Sunday…Riley Cooper, their recent “Race Pariah Du Jour,” is becoming an NFL superstar.
The Eagles’ only black lineman, LT Jason Peters, left the game yesterday and Allen Barbre played well in his stead. With Foles, an all-white or 4/5 white OL, Cooper, Maehl, Ertz, Celek, Casey, and Barwin on defense, the Eagles are certainly the most palatable club in the NFC. A Patriots/Eagles Superbowl would be ideal, with Patriots/Packers the second best option.
