COOLEY TALKIN' SOME SERIOUS SMACK

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Well call it what you want I was born in 85 and players talkin trash goes further back then just my "time".
eys interview was all in humor of course add to it his utter hatred for OUR arch rival....
He's actually funny as flip but until he is no longer a Redskin has no need to quite his day job- when he retires I wouldn't put it past him guy has a great time having fun and laughing in his life.
I like that shanny DOESN'T have a big mouth like Rex Ryan (for that I am glad cus Rex makes me wish bad things for a team I don't care about) but I also like our guys fired up. They talk the talk and hopefully walk the walk. Theres as much hype now then ever b4 for most any game on Sunday/Monday add turkey day and some saturdays. Coooooooley has a great character and having fun with your work but being serious about it makes for better work by workers who enjoy their job and are passionate- key word. I like Hall and ey and LLs Passion smack tho it may be.
Now I'd like to see chomo in a cage match too, and I'm super glad he sucked up the cowboys lead and my boy ey agrees... Cowgirl fans are awfully quite this week

Shanahan talks as much yang as Rex Ryan? I must have some form of audio filter on my TVs and radios, b/c I don't think we've been listening to the same soundbites.
But good point, I think that's exactly what the Redskins need is a smack-talking coach like Rex Ryan (or his daddy, for that matter). Just look how many championships they've won with their coaching style!

Sorry that post was an EPIC fail on my behalf. I fixed here above now that I'm not at work on my BB with auto mechanic hands. Thanks for kinda bringn my point home. The coach coaches and should not be the loud mouth.... As for our players I like to hear em pop off- in moderation but to feel the love for the team hate for the pukes, isn't that pretty much the voice of the Redskins Fans??

[skinsfan#33]

How could any Washingtonian not love ey????

He must have been drinking some Abysynthe or something....LOL

Well, it is legal now after over a hundred years of being banned for no good reason

And I don't think he was talking to me, since I said in my first post that I love ey. I will always remember his big 3 TD game against Dallas, especially the one where he broke about 4 arm tackles down the left sideline just before halftime to give the 'Skins a big lead and send Parcells into retirement.

I just wish he'd do more catching, blocking, and now running and less jawboning

You're going to have to talk to Kyle about ey not catching anything. It is kind of hard to grab many balls when you get to run TWO pass plays all game. Not two types, but two plays. ey got to go out into the pass pattern twice against the Rams.

They seriously need to figure put a way to get ey more involved. He can only do so much with two opportunities.

ey want talking smack. He was messing around with Lavar and Dukes and if anyone would actually go listen to his whole segment on the show you would see he wasn't serious at all.

Sure he found Romo puking all over himself very amusing and what is wrong with that. It was frakin hysterical!

Seems to be obvious that the staff prefers Davis' athleticism and speed at the TE position. ey hasn't really played very much TE at all this year, and I don't see that changing unless they incorporate more 2 TE sets or Davis gets injured (hopefully not the latter)

That may be the case, but it isn't very smart to essentially cast aside a 75-80 catch a year player. You mean to tell me they aren't better off with ey and Davis on the field over Stallworth, Austin, or Paul?

Sure bench a PB TE because you have another one that may end up becoming a PB TE. Or how about we keep our best 11 on the field. You can't tell me that those WRs that wouldn't make another NFL roster help this team more than ey.

Our offense is not talented enough to bench PB players.

New England doesn't seam to have a problem using two TE effectively in the passing game.

I'm just going to let everyone know if they didn't know already...

Get ready for it....

Chris ey is NOT a Pro Bowl tight end. He doesn't even come close to top 10-15 right now.

He has been in the past, but that doesn't mean he is now. I like Chris ey kind of, but I do not think he is better than Davis at this point in his career. A friend and I always talk about ey being the fan "lollipop". You know, the guy that has the cool name to yell when he makes a good play, or in his case, any play at all. Look at his numbers... They stink. Chicks love him and wear his jersey because well first off they are emotionally attached to everything. Kind of like how my gf wants to bang Hugh Jackman even though he is coming out with the worst movie of all time.

Davis is younger and faster, he's just not funnier. Let ey practice on his broadcasting career all he wants. His playing time will continue to dwindle away as Davis is used more and more.

Maybe in a few years we can get that ey Vs Romo fight! Hopefully it's free on HBO, PPV always ends up being crap.

[Deadskins]

Chris ey is NOT a Pro Bowl tight end. He doesn't even come close to top 10-15 right now.

I couldn't disagree more. He is coming off an injury, so his numbers are down, but given the touches, he'd be right back in the upper echelon of TEs again.

So ey is not a PB TE and isn't a top 10-15 TE but he has been on the past.

You're correct he was in the to 3 in catches and yards last year, so you are right he isn't a top 10-15 TE he is a top 5 TE!

Every healthy year he has been in the top 10 in both catches and yards. The past three healthy years he had been in the top five.

So lets not pretend he isn't an elite TE!

Sure he may not reach the top 10 this year, but that will have more to do with Kyle than him. And I wouldn't wager too much money on Davis ending the year as the team's most productive TE.

[ATX_Skins]

Davis WILL have more yards this year. Don't blame anything on Kyle. If you are going to go that route than praise every coach prior for only going to ey and Moss. We had no other options then, we do now.

He is no longer a pro bowler. In fact, he will never go to the pro bowl again. Davis however will, maybe not this year, but he will get there.

[Deadskins]

He is no longer a pro bowler. In fact, he will never go to the pro bowl again.

Wrong, if only for the fact that the PB is in large part a popularity contest.

[ATX_Skins]

He is no longer a pro bowler. In fact, he will never go to the pro bowl again.

Wrong, if only for the fact that the PB is in large part a popularity contest.

Well, thats true. He does have a massive fan following here. I still don't think his numbers will be enough though.

I'm not saying I don't think he is a good player. I just don't feel as though he is a PB caliber player anymore.

[spenser]

I love cooley as much as the next guy, and I'm glad he does have some disdain for the cowboys, but I just feel like this may give him a bad name and make it look like he comes off as a punk. That being said, I'd still buy the PPV tickets to the cage match!

Come on, man.

ey is a well known commodity in the league. It's not as if he's a consistently mouthy, and brash thug. He's a character, but has never before had a real problem whith his mouth.

Only an idiot (or some other sort of Cowboys fan) would think he was a punk.

Watching the pukes collapse was a thing of beauty.

Oh absolutely, It was a thing of beauty, and I love ey. I'm from Utah, and so know ALL about him even before his Pro career, so don't get it twisted. ey is the man. I'm just saying, that when i see interviews with someone that makes similar comments, i tend to think they are a jackass. Now, again, i LOVE that he HATES the cowboys, but just dont know if we need any negative press, poster board material, or anything else to disrupt what is going on with our team this year. Just sayin....

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

You kill me sometimes with your posts Atx.... ey man he deserves better then that from a Skins fan, even the pukes fans all around me here in NM know he is the shiz niss

[SkinsJock]

WOW

who really cares


I guess it's entertainment baby - GOTTA LOVE IT

You are preaching to the choir. I didn't say that I agreed with what's happening, I just commented on why I thought ey's production was down.

[skinsfan#33]

He is no longer a pro bowler. In fact, he will never go to the pro bowl again. Davis however will, maybe not this year, but he will get there.

Exactly how long has Davis been on the teem? Since 2008. In that time he only once put up decent numbers and that was when ey was on IR. So don't give me any of that nonsense that the only reason ey and Moss caught so many passes is because they had no other option.

So what has changed this year? They aren't that much better at WR and Davis has been here for the three previous seasons. Sure Gafney is an upgrade over what they have had, but his best year was last year and that wasn't as good as ey's year lsat year our any year except his first and the year he went on IR.

Since he was the NFL's third best TE last year your opinion of him must be foley based on his performance this year. For some reason Kyle had decided not to give ey the same amount of plays he normally gets. Maybe that is because Davis was on fire the first two weeks while ey was hurt or maybe it is just this youth movement at Redskins park. But whatever it is, ey will still end up as the team's best TE this year.

ey had never been flashy just productive as hell.

[welch]

No no no... People ey is a funny jokester - watch his youtube movies. My name is cowboykillerzRed and I support this message

Then maybe he should retire and go into stand up comedy.

I think what we have here (with some posters at least) is a generational gap that causes us to view things from a different perspective. I came of age in the 80s-early 90s. In that era, the 'Skins won (or, much less frequently, lost) with class. The franchise had a solid culture, the tone of which was which was set by owner JKC and Coach Gibbs, and was respected league-wide.

Remember the "Body Bag Game" in 1990? For those who don't, this was a Redskins-Eagles MNF clash during which the Eagles' dominant defensive front knocked out all of the 'Skins active QBs, forcing Brian Mitchell to finish the game under center. During this onslaught, an Eagle defender taunted the 'Skins sideline by screaming “Hey, do you need any more body bags?” The players talked even more trash after the game, and Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan even got into the act. Gibbs and his troops simply got healthy and went on with the season. They didn't respond to the smack. They didn't complain to the league about the hits. They just went on with the season.

Fate ordained that the teams would meet again in Philadelphia in the wildcard round of the playoffs. The week before the game, the Eagles crowed about how they were going to stage a repeat performance. The 'Skins remained quiet, dominated the game 20-6, and walked out of Philly a winner amidst the ruins of yet another Eagles season. After the game, Gibbs said something to the effect of “We knew our guys were fired up when they (the offensive line) knocked their guys back three yards on the first play of the game.” The Eagles were mysteriously quiet afterwards.
Some media members dubbed this the “Buddy Bag Game”, as Ryan was fired that offseason.

Coach Gibbs has since stated that the way the team pulled together for this game was instrumental in setting the tone for 1991's championship run, which is probably the most dominant Redskins season to date.

And that's why I think ey should keep his mouth shut.

I agree entirely, although I don't think the generations have changed so much so quickly.

The Buddy-ball Eagles talked trash, and got pummeled. Gibbs never wanted his players to say anything to motivate the other team.

In fact, Buddy Ryan sneered at Gibbs before that playoff. Reporters asked Gibbs about it. Gibbs was holding a football. Just smiled that special Joe smile, smacked the football, and said, "Buddy [smack] Ryan...yes...Buddy Ryan..."

The same thing had happened against the Bears. Ditka ridiculed the Redskins after hammering the Redskins in '85, the Bears one SB season. The Redskins went up to Chicago for a playoff the next year, against a Bears team that had lost only one or two games all season. Bears were supposed to Buddy-rush the Redskins right out of Soldier Field. Instead, Jay Schroeder kept throwing quick medium-range passes to Art Monk, who kept taking the ball another 40 yards. Redskins won. Also won the next year...in fact, I don't the Gibbs teams lost another game to Ditka's Bears.

ey needs to talk less like Neon Deion and play more like Art Monk.

As soon as Norv took over, players began saying, "Great, now I can express myself..."

ey will be our best TE at the end of the year... Well, if you say so I suppose.

[ChrisHanburger]

I love anyone that hates the Cowboys. I love it when the players talk trash to Dallas during Dallas week. I love Chris ey as a player and as a character.

I hate the fact he was talking trash about how ANOTHER TEAM beat Dallas after HIS TEAM lost, in my opinion, a game they should have won.... in front of the national audience......just a few days prior. I don't think he meant it to come out that way, but that doesn't matter when that quote is hanging on Dallas' bulletin board during the next Dallas Week. Frankly, if I'm not a Skins fan and I read that quote, I think he's a jackass.

[Deadskins]

Kind of like how my gf wants to bang Hugh Jackman even though he is coming out with the worst movie of all time.

I heard it was pretty good. We are talking about the robot fighting movie, right?

Wow kinda says exactly what I said... He is a fan of the game and a true skins fan, that by the way = you hate the cowboys. He was led into responses by those questions and he answered w the cheerful manner he takes everything. If you don't like it ya you are now to old for football. So glad the pukes blew another one and we win another one. What a great thing that is

I guess I will have to start watching more golf and bowling, then

[SkinsJock]

just ANOTHER case of the media and the talking heads, blowing comments way out of proportion

ey summed it up - he's a player for the Washington Redskins, what's so bad about seeing an NFC East rival lose a game in that way and then 'discussing' it on a show with people that are obviously going to 'lead him on' to try and get something & anything that they can portray in a way to gain attention

nothing new here - same old, same old deal, IMO -

[1niksder]

Yes, Chris ey’s comments about Tony Romo have already received too much attention.

Yes, we’re going to give them more attention. It’s for a good reason; ey wrote a long and thoughtful post about the topic and we wanted to pass it along.

“In a league full of glad-handing and ass slapping between competing teams, I actually care about the organization and fan base that has supported me throughout my 8-year career,” ey writes. ”While I feel an honest respect for all NFL players, I show no remorse in cheering against another team, especially the Cowboys. If it sounded like I was delighted by Tony Romo’s failure last week, I was.”

Thank you. ey goes on from there to point out that it’s not personal with Romo. He also responds in hilarious fashion to a lot of the nasty Twitter messages he’s received.

Admonishing ey like he’s some fourth-grader is a joke. The more that I read about the NFL of the 60′s, 70′s, and 80′s, the more I realize there was far more “trash talking” then. It’s part of the game to not like your opponent. It’s boring to get the same fake sound bite over and over.

There is nothing worse than hearing phony moralizing from people who take sports too seriously. When there is a rare player like ey that has a little fun, we kill him for it.

We leave with an actual response from ESPN’s Skip Bayless about ey’s quotes:

“Way, way, out bounds. I lost a lost of respect of Chris ey,” Bayless said with a hushed tone as if someone had died. “He comes across as some lame-brained, knee-jerked Redskins fan.”

This is coming from a man who holds the world record for lame-brained, knee-jerk, out of bounds, hypocritical sports commentary.

The last word from Chris ey
