I’m glad they were able to make the deal. It was not looking promising to me every time Cook kept promoting 15M per year. I thought 3 years @ 10-12 was the fair range. Beane apparently negotiated hard to keep it close to that range. One concern I had with the contract was the 4 years, especially considering James will turn 30 in September of that final year and his brother Dalvin declined a lot at 28. However, Dalvin had much more wear on his legs at a young age. He had 687 carries at Florida State vs James 230 carries at Georgia. Overall, Dalvin (now 30) has 2044 carries (NFL & college). James (26 in September) has 763 carries (NFL & college). Hopefully James lighter workload so far in his career will allow him to still have his speed throughout this contract.

awesome news! They paid the man!

At what point does McD take responsibility for having a scheme that apparently requires 10k hours of practice and a football PHD to learn? Injuries happen. Roster turnover happens. Other coaches simplify coach to their players strengths. Rewatching last years playoffs it’s brutal to see how many wide open guys ran through our coverage. And how we were completely predictable on 3rd down at the same time. We’ve spent so much draft capital on D and the D stunk. Do all the players really stink? I’m thinking McD needs a mirror.

The way everyone is talking about Cook being such a great skill player for us, makes you wonder where the hell the rest of the playmakers are. Noone thinks we have any playmakers on offense besides Josh and James. And to be honest maybe Ty Johnson is #3 as a playmaker. I think Shakir is pretty dam good as well. But something is wrong with our WR's and TE's if none are considered big time playmakers. Look at Coleman. Seriously, is he any better or as good as Kristian Wilkerson or Tyrell Shavers? We really need some WR's and TE's to step up and make a difference to get this team to the next level. Lets hope it happens.

Better that than peeking at your medical records.

Every player on every team is dependent on their teammates. The WRs are dependent on their QB and their fellow skill players. The OL is dependent on their RB to find and maximize the hole. The DL is dependent on their fellow DLs to plug the right gaps and apply complementary pressure. Etc. What I know about Cook is that his skill set in this offensive system with this group of players works really well. That's what matters. I agree he is just a part of a machine, and he is not such a great player that he would fit every machine in the NFL perfectly - such players are rare and are at the top of their position. Cook however is not getting paid like he is that caliber of player. He's getting paid for what he is, which is a really good part of a greater whole. We have seen other RBs in the Josh Allen offense and it's never looked as consistently good as it did with Cook last year. My take is you don't mess with that. We're in the championship window now and shouldn't disrupt the one part of our offense that worked extremely well last year because we wish the cap number was $2 million less. The only question that matters is does our chance of beating KC in the playoffs improve with Cook on the field? The answer to that question is obvious - we don't even have a chance at the end this past AFCCG without his contributions. I'm in favor of paying players that help us get us past KC in the playoffs. Moving forward Beane will have to sacrifice the likes of Austin Johnson and Larry Ogunjobi. I'll get over it.

Bishop and Rapp practicing in full, Dawkins not practicing

I know nothing more than you, but sounds like a backup as they need bodies. He’s only started for lowly Jax for 34 out of 84 possible games. -

In front of a bad IOL and an OK but not as great as they were on paper set of skill position players he still showed a lot of talent in his rookie year. With the IOL immensely beefed up (traded for an All Pro vet guard, signed the best center on the free agency market, and traded for another long time IOL starter from the Rams) and a pair of pass catchers drafted up high they have the collection of talent for Williams to be successful. It is just more so can the coaching put in place a system for Williams that caters to his abilities or not? -
1. He isn't that great 2. Injuries Beyond that not sure.

McDermott’s anecdote would have been more effective if he used the example of a coach wearing an “I wish it was colder” t-shirt to inspire his team, but the capri pants didn’t jibe and the team lost the game with a 4th quarter collapse.

Guess we'll see, but I think he's going to be TE1, assuming he's healthy. Last year he was far from healthy.

You could always call this guy. Hell do it for free. As long as you dont mind the 12inch blade. His name is Dexter. Just bring a lot of plastic.

The annual QB tier rankings from The Athletic

I was talking regular season. In which case it is once in like 3 years. The Ravens last year. If the stat is made up, fair enough. I didn't post it. -
Glad we got him signed and glad is was for a reasonable amount. Now we have our most explosive weapon for Josh back in the fold.
-
Glad he is signed! 10-12m is where I felt he should have been all along. 15m was too much. Not sure if this was posted or not yet so apologise if so...

You guys whining about the weather in the fall are nuts! My birthday is in the second week of November and for as far back as I can remember over these 70 some years I've been around the weather has historically been pretty much nice during the first half of November. I've relocated some snow on Halloween more than once and then cooked out on the patio just a few days later! Other than a few unpredictable short-lived storms over the years the REAL crappy weather that's here to hang around for a while doesn't arrive until mid to late December.
