They're both very fluid and have an easiness about them into their routes and after the catch," Zierlein wrote. The Biletnikoff Award winner posted 124 receptions for 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns this season. The Crimson Tide prospect is considered to be a potential top-10 pick in the 2015 draft.

Faust 5,014 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Rotoworld:Alabama WR Amari Cooper posted a drop rate of 11.4% in five 2014 games charted by Matt Harmon.For context's sake, Harmon writes "Most of the drops I observed for Cooper appeared to take place on routine plays. Several occurred on screen passes over the middle, where Cooper would just let the ball get away from him." There are so many quality nuggets in the linked piece and it is definitely worth your time, especially since many consider Amari to be the draft's top receiver. Just from the last two years, it seems like negative drop rates carry over to the NFL much more consistently than very positive rates. It is only a five game span, but some could view 11.4 as troubling. Harmon adds of 12 contested catch situations in five games, Amari converted six of them.

Faust 5,014 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Rotoworld:Former NFL GM and current Reese's Senior Bowl Executive Director Phil Savage compares Alabama WR Amari Cooper to Marvin Harrison."Amari is super athletic, very fluid and highly skilled as a route runner and hands catcher," Savage said. "Because of his reserved demeanor and similar ability, I compared him to Marvin Harrison during the season." Interestingly, NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein also recently compared Cooper to Harrison. "Cooper won't dazzle you with blazing speed or elite size and strength, but, like Harrison, he's a complete receiver who runs excellent routes and has the ability to produce against any coverage," wrote Zierlein. "Don't expect him to dominate NFL safeties like he did in college, but he'll help improve a team's passing game quickly as a consistent target on short to intermediate routes and continue to flash game-changing ability downfield."

ThanksOn a side note. Why is that smooth and explosive can't co-exist. A smooth athlete that runs a low 4.4 is labeled as not an explosive player, a max effort runner runs a low 4.4 and they are explosive. I don't get it. The combine will clear some things up but size, speed, age of breakout, stats, metrics....almost identical to Watkins at this point. Yet Watkins is explosive because it "looks" like he he trucking along when he runs, Cooper is athletic because he is smooth when he is trucking along. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JamesTheScot 85 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's interesting that on what is widely considered the passing down, 3rd down, that only 20% of Cooper's catches and only 26% of his targets happen.Does that mean that 'Bama was converting 1st downs from 1st and 2nd down and thus didn't end up in 3rd downs as often, or do they have some other 3rd down philosophy at work?If 26% of Cooper's targets come on 3rd down, that means 74% of them are spread across 1st, 2nd and 4th down...which basically means he had to be getting near 80% of his catches on 1st and 2nd down.I don't follow 'Bama close enough to have a feel for their offense. Is Cooper capitalizing on defenses expecting the run (or biting on play-action) on the early downs? Is he less effective on 3rd down when the defense can assume it's more likely to come his way?I'm not arguing a position, I'm just asking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
