Malone just disappeared when playing against the 1's in the regular season.
Cooper is a much better Returner and could be a better Receiver. Phillips has been muffing Punts.
We have Boyd, Willis, Ross, Tate, Erickson, now Cooper and hopefully Bryant with decent TE's in Sample, Uzi and Eifert.
Plus Mixon, Gio, Traveon and Perine are all good at catching the ball.
Cooper averaged 7.6 yards a catch and has 4 fumbles on 26 offensive touches. Also he is a pure slot guy vs Malone who is an outside guy.
Who replaces Willis or Ross if they get hurt? Tate? Maybe But he is more Eiferts backup then a pure WR(no doubt a valuable role ).
If we were going to replace Malone I would rather have had Doctson then Cooper 10 out of 10 times.
Also while Phillips might have struggled with PR against the chiefs dude was an all American in college as a Returned.
