Shutting Down Riley The Roomie

[MNBamaFan]

Practically everyone in the world knows that:

1. Riley Cooper is Tebow's roomie, and
2. Riley Cooper is Tebow's favorite receiver.

And we Bama fans know Cooper played a big part in our defeat last year. Granted I haven't watched much UF football this year, but I don't understand why this guy can't be shut down. Do we have the talent in the secondary to take him out of the game? And if we do, does UF have anyone that might step up other than Hernandez at TE and cause problems for Bama?

(Does anyone know if Cooper was the leading receiver in last year's SEC championship game?)

Riley Cooper is Tebow's Room mate? Huh, you'd have thought somebody would have mentioned that in a telecast of a game this year. :biggrin2:

Cooper is a pretty good athlete, but he's no percy Harvin. He gets away with a lot of stuff at the line of scrimmage, just look at the LSU game for instance. Hernandez is by far the better athlete.

I may have heard it mentioned once or twice or maybe 1,000,000 times.

What's the over/under on how many times CBS will remind us again Saturday?:cool2:

Stop Cooper, stop Hernandez, and that just leaves superman.

Did you hear about McCoy and Shipley? Roomies too. And he throw the ball to him alot. Coincidence? I think not.

One of them has to pitch and one has to catch...

That's wrong. Maybe. :biggrin2:

Just a thought. RC can't catch if TT is on the ground...a lot.

Every time I see this guy he does something dirty to get open deep and then drops the ball.

He is difficult to shut down because he does not get called for offensive pass interference when he does everything but shank the defender with a filed down toothbrush.

Yowza!

Every time Cooper takes his helmet off, he looks like he's doing a Pantene commercial or something. It's hilarious.

The way to bottle Cooper up is to harass him at the line of scrimmage. He's very physical and gets away with a LOT of contact, so our DB's can't be afraid to give it right back to him.

I can't wait to see the fiery Arenas attempt to lock him down.

:rofl: Perfect description.

That patented slingshot move of his is ridiculous. Sometimes he does it at the line of scrimmage to get the step on the defender sometimes he does while the ball is in the air on the deeper routes. Stopping him is a big need come saturday. he is tebow's favorite target for deep passes, hernande for short ones or shovel passes. I swear FL only runs like 12 plays (i have watched them almost every game this year)

we have to shut down not just cooper but also the TE he has become dominate in Florida's offense. WE have the defense to do this but we must make TEBOW run - CODY is hungry

Wait a minute.... U mean Riley Cooper is St Timmy's roomie; WOW! I never knew that based on the CBS coverage of St Timmy . Wonder if Riley wears eye black as well?

RTR!!!!

 

[MNBamaFan]

Wonder if Riley wears eye black as well?

Only when Timmy puts it on for him.

the key to stopping the florida passing game is for the defenders to keep St. Tebow in front of them. in other words keep him in the pocket. to me...he just does not scare me as a pocket passer. also HIT the florida wr's, punish them everytime they touch the ball. they do not like to be hit.
