The NFL's crackdown on imaginary weapons won't stop Brandin Cooks. The Saints receiver, who often pulls out an imaginary bow-and-arrow after touchdowns, won't reach into his inventory for something different the next time he enters the end zone.

The bow-and-arrow celebration will live on. Speaking with The Times-Picayune, Cooks explained why he won't retire the move.

"I'm going to figure it out, but I'm not going to change it," Cooks said. "The league will have to deal with it. The reason for why I'm doing it and what's behind why I'm doing it doesn't have anything to do with violence.

"So I'm not going to change what I'm doing to satisfy what the league wants. That's not what I'm here to do."

A potential fine won't sway Cooks, either.

"It's one of those things that they want to fine anything and get their little ... whatever they want," Cooks said. "They're not going to stop me."

Whether Cooks would discontinue the celebration only came into question when Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was penalized and fined five figures for the exact same celebration, which took place near the sidelines. According to The Times-Picayune, the NFL's head of officiating Dean Blandino said that imitating violent acts will result in penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct -- a 15-yard penalty.

Except, Cooks isn't even trying to use a violent act as his celebration. Here's how he explained the celebration to the The Times-Picayune a year ago:

"It has to do with the Bible," Cooks said.

Cooks said the motion referenced a Bible verse in which a boy named Ishmael used his archery skill to survive in the desert after he nearly died there without water.

...

"That was just one of my things giving my glory to God for blessing me to do what I do," Cooks said of the motion.

Here's a look:

Cooks' plan for avoiding a flag might come down to a technicality.

"Well there are different forms of doing it," Cook said. "You just can't shoot (the arrow). I'm still going to pull it out. Whatever happens after that happens. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my team, but I'll figure something out.

"The Archer is still here."

Of course, Cooks is hardly the only player facing hard celebration decisions. Most notably, Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has been repeatedly flagged for thrusting after his touchdowns.

In both cases, I'm in agreement with the players, namely because football is a sport, sports should be fun, and cool celebrations are more fun than uncool celebrations. With that being said, if both player know that they'll be docked 15 yards for those celebrations, they should probably stop celebrating in those ways.

In Cooks' case, the problem is that he's yet to be flagged for the bow-and-arrow move while Norman has been. And that's an inconsistency that should be addressed by the league.
