1.2M is huge. Congrats Andy and the Pack-a-day team. Very excited for Cooper to play next to Quay. The middle is looking so much stronger after this draft. Can’t wait for Sunday’s!

[@bobgrantavp4735]

If Cooper turns out to be anywhere close to what you have noted. Then I will be very excited for our defense.

[@user-xt1ie4zn9c]

After 3 seasons of Barry I could use some over aggressive on defense.

[@bubbaone1575]

Are you saying the previous DC's defense was not Barry, Barry good?

[@sapgooey]

I cannot wait to hear the cheers ring out from Lambeau: “COOOOOOP!!” “COOOOOOOOOOP!!!” 💚💛💚

[@erion2227]

Especially on defense

[@packback7045]

You deserve all of the accolades for 1.2M downloads/views. Your guests are awesome and your football knowledge is unparalleled

[@JeffMoreland-rb7sw]

You're the best, Andy. Thank you.

[@craiglakatos3742]

Wayne Simmons was my single favorite player from the 90s Packers of my childhood. An enforcer and an ass kicker. Can’t remember them having another linebacker like that since him. Sure would be great to see some measured intensity in the middle of their defense for the first time in literally 30 years!

[@harrisonkotlarek5934]

I love how 85% of this breakdown video of Edgerrin Cooper is Andy just listing off all the great things about Coopers game!! Just tells you how high level of a player he is and can’t wait to see him play in Green and Gold!

[@nenosdeewa2048]

Patches reference is absolute gold 😂😂😂

[@guyfullen9028]

You and the team do a great job with the amount of information you provide.

[@joegroessel9018]

Congratulations on the fantastic numbers. Keep the numbers soaring

[@OverpoweredByMonk]

way to go Andy! Keep stacking those successes as Coach McCarthy used to say. You’re doing fantastic work and it’s been such a pleasure watching your show/channel grow over the years. 🎉🎉🎉

[@ronniesen2522]

Your welcome and you earned it, great job on the pod cast. Alex will not make the team as a WR but hey, that time in camp as a wr and a qb has to help his profile as a coach and player.

[@TyreeTravels]

I'm sure Alex is just trying to stay in the NFL as long as possible to get vested as much as possible. It makes sense because I'm sure it pays a lot better than those other leagues.

[@Playsinvain]

The last half of the season, the light went on and he was ridiculous….the highlights are shockingly amazing on Cooooop

[@gbgary]

so pumped to see this guy!! your giddiness has me giddy!! Matrix would be a good nickname for him.

[@darthwolvi7428]

How dare you get my hopes up so much sir!!:) lol. Love it! Thanks for all you do!!

[@amygooding1349]

Incredible #’s Andy!!! Congrats!

Mighty Ducks Bash Brothers! Such fond childhood memories 😂

[@mosthatedminnesotan]

I wish we could draft 30 players every year... I just love these deep dive episodes...

[@jerrelllee336]

Thank you for the content 🙏

[@Hmick0517]

Great breakdown, Andy. Can’t wait for rookie mini camp. I love you

[@AndrewBeveridge461]

Understanding the theory behind our new defense, and combining that with our draft strategy, Cooper is an ideal pick. We're looking to attack offenses and speed them up to put pressure on QBs, plus be able to have the advantage in 1 on 1 matchups in the open field if the ball gets beyond the LOS. Attacking defense. And to do that you need not just athletes with speed, but players that can trade off roles in the middle of the field, top of the box. Versatility to switch assignments, and make pre snap moves without showing your hand. Be flexible with LB safety and slot without getting exploited by physical mismatches. That concept leads to faster, lighter LBs, and special talent in the slot/SS spot. Cooper fits into that so perfectly, as does Evan Williams. And of course Nixon and Mckinney will be the heart and soul in that regard. Mckinney especially, buckle up because he got paid for a reason. He'll be in the mix for All Pro this year if things go according to plan.

[@ethanaguinaga9757]

Love it!

[@Jon-oi3me]

Thank you Andy

[@bubbaone1575]

The hair-on-fire play Hafley advocates from the front line along with blitzes from Quay and Edgerrin helps allay the concerns I have about the CB depth.

[@nenosdeewa2048]

I’ve been waiting for this video for too long!!!! You deserve cheesecake

[@nenosdeewa2048]

Like you said in the other video…. I’d rather have someone we need to tame down as opposed to coach up. Him and Quay are emotionally unstable and harmful to anyone that has the ball!!!! And I LOVE ITT!!!!!

[@erion2227]

Sorry if i missed this. Would love to know how he stacked up compared to quay when he was coming out

[@gunnargeroy8406]

As long as we have hall of famer Preston smith CB1 we’ll be good

[@raybrean9889]

Edgerrin Cooper is a long, rangy linebacker with excellent speed and coverage ability. Against the pass, he is very smooth in his drops, playing with vision and awareness. Edgerrin Cooper is very comfortable in man coverage and has plenty of speed to carry tight ends up the seam. Edgerrin Cooper is an explosive blitzer and has shown the ability to separate the quarterback from the ball. Against the run, Edgerrin Cooper is quick to fill in the hole and displays stopping power as a tackler. Edgerrin Cooper will have some fly-by missed tackles when in lateral pursuit. Overall, Edgerrin Cooper is an instinctive and explosive NFL prospect who generates a bunch of splash plays. He’s ready to start right away, and I believe his best football is still ahead of him. Edgerrin Cooper’s long and he’s fast. Brian Gutekunst does such a great job of targeting these players that can really run. Edgerrin Cooper loves football. He plays aggressively. He’s a young kid still growing into his frame. He’s aggressive. He covers ground. He plays the right away. He just has big upside. He can play the 2nd level and pressure the quarterback up the middle, just a really excited athlete, and you can feel Edgerrin Cooper’s acceleration. Edgerrin Cooper’s a highly physical linebacker with elite top-end speed and a burning desire to get to the football that can lead to some inconsistencies in his play. Edgerrin Cooper is average at diagnosing the run but he takes off around traffic on a mission to find the ball-carrier once he sees it. Edgerrin Cooper can be undisciplined playing his run fits and takes unorthodox paths downhill, but he somehow finds ways to slither around blocks and make challenging tackles. Edgerrin Cooper is a punishing hitter/tackler from any spot on the field, but he’s going to overshoot the mark from time to time due to his lack of control in pursuit. Edgerrin Cooper’s a capable quarterback spy, he can blitz the pocket and he will be an instant hit on special teams, but teams will need to balance the inconsistencies with the passionate run-and-hit mentality. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

We lucked out BIG time being able to snag this guy. He’s got STAR written all over him.

Fall back option after the sheagles sniped Dejean. He’s a small linebacker, I don’t love the pick or any of their picks for that matter. It was a massive failure imo

“Any stupid plays” he puts his full body on some of his QB sacks. That will get called in the NFL

[@jeffwubker7445]

His nickname should be Shark Cooper. Comes in slow and Wham!

[@Captainkebbles1392]

The Alex position change is ..odd If this was before thr emergency QB rule it wild make some sense, guess he really liked being in GB and just is trying to stay a TINY bit longer

[@Cody.mcdougal]

I can’t stop thinking about how dangerous 2 qb’s would be for trick plays. Is Geeen Bay opening up something new if he’s even a half decent WR they gotta respect arm

[@Matt-yq3gq]

Wouldn’t even consider it a legit thought. Mcgough ain’t making the roster, and he’s only got an outside chance at practice squad.

[@kreed4480]

Doubtful

[@bubbaone1575]

​@Matt-yq3gq Agree re McGough but never understood why Randall Cobb...who did some wildcat in college...never did a reverse pass in all the time he was here.

[@davepeterschmidt5818]

In theory that capability would be cool. But McGough isn't going to crack this receiver corps. I doubt he will even make the PS. Maybe, maybe he could beat out Toure or Dubose for a PS spot, but even that seems doubtful.

[@eXclusiVe561]

They were released and kicked Mr Campbell out from the packers. But Campbell is a good size for line backer

[@HONEYBADGER-sy5zj]

If he takes 2 being coach up he will soar Pro Bowl easily. Probably 2yrs away closing down the learning curve gap basically is his main barricade. Elite traits and hungry like the wolf ambition wham O presto world ur oyster.

[@naldoxx]

👏

[@Philliphhh]

I hope they give him a chance to compete for it at Qb

[@maxm3967]

I think him and Mcduffie will rotate in the beginning of the season to find out who’s better. I would do the same with Morgan and Rhyan to

[@JefferyT1991]

I doubt they would spend a first round pick on a rotational guard. Then again, gute does some nonsensical drafting

[@maxm3967]

@@JefferyT1991 that’s not the point; he can play LT but I believe in Walker and think Morgan can impact right away at guard. Guards are getting paid like tackles now a days anyway.

[@JefferyT1991]

@@maxm3967 hopefully he’s better than what I think he is

[@bresina63]

Maybe, Alex as wide receiver, will sneak him on the practice squad.

[@MrMikeyriggs]

Andy, would you consider Edgerrin Cooper as our version of R A S?

[@kreed4480]

Why is it that Cooper is knocked for being “small”. He’s 230 lbs. The best LB in the league is the same exact size. (Fred Warner)

[@nenosdeewa2048]

I would like to hear you swear for added emphasis more often…. For example, “cooper is gonna fuckin WRECK opposing teams!!”

[@packer23]

Might not be able to monetize the video? Maybe I’m wrong.

[@Philliphhh]

Alex is better than both of those back ups im srry but he is

[@JefferyT1991]

Cooper is built like a corner. Too small for linebacker

[@YourUserNameSucksx10]

Quay got a target on his back. Year 3 and 4, quay needs to bring it. If cooper does better and they're better lbs in 3 years. I dont see them signing quay back due to the talent wr contracts that year.
