Following a press conference to announce Jon Gruden as the Oakland Raiders head coach, former players discussed what it is that he’ll bring to the team and the fans.
Amari Cooper caught 11 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns last week, earning AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Cooper joined legend Tim Brown as the only wide receivers in Raiders history to be given the weekly award. His single-game yardage total was the second-highest in franchise history behind only Art Powell’s 247 yards in 1963. The low-key Raiders wide receiver stayed true to form when he met with reporters but didn’t bask in the glow from his career game. “I just play, man,” Cooper said. “I try to play good every week. If it doesn’t happen, I just move on. If I do play good, I do the same thing. I just move on.”
