In due time, the Buffalo Bills’ recent trade acquisition, Amari Cooper, and franchise quarterback Josh Allen will likely have impeccable chemistry. Both the receiver and quarterback are simply too talented not to be on the same page for long.
But for now, Cooper is still acclimating to Buffalo, learning the playbook, and trying to ingratiate himself into an AFC heavyweight’s roster mix.
We saw a perfect example of this early in the third quarter during the Bills’ battle with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
With the Bills facing a second-and-long in the red zone, it appeared that Cooper didn’t know what route to run from the slot after Allen audibled to a different play. You could even see a confused Cooper asking rookie playmaker Keon Coleman for help.
Cooper amazingly wound up scoring his first Bills touchdown on the sequence anyway, but it’s unclear whether Coleman successfully pointed him in the right direction:

Note to self: Ad-libbing often works! Note to star receivers like Cooper: Improv with confidence usually works out, too!
