1. Not sure who you're looking at, but Cooper has only played 5 years.
2. He started 13 games for the Cowboys last year.
3. Andre Smith had more injuries than Cooper, and most on here loved that guy. We also have Cordy Glenn, who has had his fair share of injuries lately.
4. Cooper is more familiar with the o-line coach than any guy on our roster.

...and in the end, that's really all that matters. I'd plug him in at RG over Trey Hopkins without blinking.
That said, signing him doesn't even mean we have to start him.
He could be insurance in case there are problems, and his familiarity with Pollack would automatically give him a leg up.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
