WAS TE Cooley looks to build chemistry

Washington tight end Chris Cooley spoke about the process of picking up the Mike and Kyle Shanahan-run offense and the adjustment he and other receivers are going through in working with new quarterback Donovan McNabb.

"As far as the offense I've really been impressed with the way they've coached it," Cooley said.
