Edgerrin Cooper

But like I said, could potentially make him change positions.

Edgerrin Cooper also was evaluated for a concussion.

I don't think we ever heard if he actually had a concussion or not.

Uh, concussions are certainly serious but, you know, you would expect him probably to be able to go against Tampa Bay in about, what, nine, 10 days from now.

It's all bad.

Um, Edgerrin Cooper goes out with a potential concussion.

If there is a...

I guess if there is a positive, I, I think Green Bay got out of this mostly injury-free.

We are getting ready for football in Lambeau.

Uh, how about Edgerrin Cooper, Cowboy Cooper, walking into the building? Let's do a primetime preview now presented by nationwide NFL.com's Lance Zierlein with us as we get ready for the Falcons and the Packers.

Green Bay, Lance, has won 13 consecutive games a- as home openers at Lambeau, so they're the decided favorite here.

But Michael Penix, we saw him, he is back.

He just gives Gannon so much flexibility as he builds out the game plans because there's so many different ways you can utilize him.

And I really think he's a force multiplier because it's not just what is Adrian Cooper's own column on the stat sheet look like at the end of the night, but because he can cover so much ground, because I think you can use him as an edge rusher and maybe put more on his plate.

There's a ripple effect to, all right, how does that impact the other defenders around him in terms of how they're utilized? So someone who's playing at a really, really high level, to start the season.

Gannon acknowledged that on Tuesday, wasn't going to get into details on what else they're working on, but also said there's more out there for him in terms of level of play that he can reach.

I'm not going to play because I don't know if we're allowed to do that.

Caption is that during Cooper just makes plays and in the clip, he highlights one play from Sunday's game against the Jets where Cooper kind of gets swallowed up into the A or B gap because he's trying to, you know, make a play against the run.

It might have been Brees Hall kicks it outside and Adrian Cooper reverses course, comes behind the line of scrimmage again and still makes the play like his lateral speed is tremendous.

And you're right.

You know, again, a guy who was voted a captain and he's just been here for a few months.

Uh, I have a story that I'm gonna bank on the fact that Edgerrin Cooper's gonna put up some numbers for me tonight so I can write about him because his start in the Jonathan Gannon defense-

[whistles]

... has been impressive.

So I'm just really interested to gather more intel on what Jonathan Gannon is, and we'll get a little bit more tonight.

Uh, I've been very impressed by him thus far, as, as you alluded to.

And, uh, y- you mentioned it briefly with Edgerrin Cooper, but I've been really impressed with the way he's elevated some of his key talents, right? Like, I, I, m- me and Gabe in the first hour of the show were talking about the year three guys.

Jevon Bullard.

Um, I thought he played fairly well when he was in there, comparatively speaking to the other quarterbacks this road through Atlanta, but, uh, we'll keep our eye on all that information as we get closer to kickoff.

Tonight we're gonna talk Edgerrin Cooper and what Jonathan Gannon's doing, uh, with him here in this defense.

We're also gonna give you the injury report, right? The update on the offensive line.

We may do a little mini preview of Packers-Falcons and how the injury report is gonna play into that.

He said what? You guys remember Chris Long, right? Howie Long's boy.

Um, one of the Long brothers that played in the league for quite some time.

He actually chimed in on Edgerrin Cooper, right? And, uh, they had it on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast and said, "Edgerrin Cooper just makes plays." Guys, I want you to hear what Chris Long had to say about Edgerrin Cooper.

Um, high praise from a great football player who obviously played for the Bears for a little bit.
