As far as official statistics are concerned, Amari Cooper had 217 yards and three touchdowns against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. That’s undeniable.
Cooper’s impact measured far beyond this, though. He helps in the run game. He helps other playmakers get open. He helps in the overall disposition of the team as evidenced by his request to Dak Prescott when he was frustrated by a route he was assigned to run when the game was on the line in the fourth quarter.
It’s interesting because I actually had another stop route on that play and they were, if you were watching, really sitting on those stop routes.
