Old school

MIKIE *gigglesnorts* it's so cheeky hahahaaaa

He was traded for a first by the Pats FWIW. Brandin Cooks was drafted in the first round, traded for a first to the Pats, traded for a first to the Rams, traded to the Saints for a second.

Beane and McD. They're responsible for Bobby Brady

Your posts are old and not what they once were

No idea if cooks has any juice left but 60% of his starts last year were with cooper rush or trey lance at qb and he was comin off a couple knee procedures so you never know I think the saints attempted some shenanigans to force no teams to be interested in him on waivers but it got shot down. He still was held to the waiver process though but maybe that’s what you were thinking of? they tried to give him more guaranteed money in 2026 so no teams would want him haha pretty sneaky

Yeah….but for other teams. 😉

Definitely cut from the same cloth as he Bosstones. I'd heard the name but never the band. Listened to the album today, right up my alley!

If Brandin scores a touchdown I’ll be impressed.

Appears a replacement for Spencer Brown is coming soon...

His body quit on him. It was clear as day. Anyone who's athletic and washed out at any age or ability can recognize it.

I'm just excited about the headlines when Jimbo and B Cooks have multiple TDs to lead the Bills to victory... "Too many Cook(s) in the kitchen"!

The principle applies to other charcoal / gas grills as well. The most important part of this method is icing the breasts beforehand so as not to dry them out while cooking the dark meat to doneness. The gravy is hands down the best ever.

Merge with "roster spot to fill the holes" thread please. 😉

500 yards and one TD last season with the Chargers Dude was an afterthought, and he's doing exactly the same here because he's not a starting caliber receiver

A more positive spin is that this is a team in transition, with young, promising players like Hairston, Walker, Hancock, and Sanders not ready to take over from the fast-declining old guard. That's ok--it's hard to stay on top year after year, especially with so many injuries--but the offseason is critical. Beane simply has trim the deadwood and find receivers, linebackers, and (once again) pass rushers. If I were him, I'd consider trading Kincaid, Dawkins, Bernard, Knox, Coleman, and others. Come back next year younger, faster, and less injury-prone.

KJ, that's a great response. I loved the Steakhouse analogy. And the George Pickens reference. I think the key as you said is they do not value talent. And that is why our roster is what it is. Mediocre to poor in many positions. And a great QB and RB. With a good O line, that has seemed to sprung some big leaks of late in pass protection. Add in very mediocre to poor coaching. And a ton of injuries. And I think we are fortunate to be 7-4 this season. But I do not even feel like we are a solid 7-4 type team. As we have looked horrible in several games. (We will find out on Sunday if there is anything left in this reign.) Maybe the signing of Brandon Cooks will put a spark in the offense. And lets hope Brady can use him correctly.

I've just always believed that Cooks was just viewed as a middle of the pack WR1 so teams weren't really inclined to pay him WR1 money for that. There seemed to be a pretty endless supply of playmaking WR's in the draft and defense's really didn't go all-in on capping passing games until after they watched the 13 seconds game in horror realizing that you weren't stopping the likes of Allen/Mahomes without putting a cap on big plays. Cooks production started to dry up after that. 2017 was arguably Brady's second best year in NE statistically. With Cooks there. The Patriots were notorious for not valuing WR talent. Brady's efficiency fell off considerably the next two seasons after the Cooks trade. Perhaps if they had kept Cooks that divorce never happens. By the time Brady left they had a WR room that was about bottom-of-league like Josh has now.

I think Gregg Easterbrook used to say something about good teams making hay in the off-season while the rest made panic moves during the season. regardless, we’re in panic mode

I have said many times here now that I was a supporter in what Brady was doing coming into this season but have not been impressed or liked what I have seen from Brady this year, literally starting in week 1. In this season, I have been hyper critical of Brady, his predictability, inability to adjust, how he has used personnel, and how poor many of his decisions have been in important moments in games this year. I love the "Everybody Eats" philosophy where its not about force feeding someone like Diggs and about Josh making the better and smarter decisions with the ball and taking what is there. Where anyone on any play can get the ball. BUT - what I don't like, and what I said in the post you are responding to was that Brady this year has tried to force this to where I see lesser players getting too many snaps or him dividing limited snaps between Samuel and Moore. Running guys to clear out so we can target a 3rd, 4th, or 5th string player or check down. For example - I dont want to see Cook getting little to no targets so our bottom of the bench or deep bench WR's and TE's can get snaps and touches.

Knox is doing worse than nothing😂😂between the drops and not knowing his blocking assignment he singlehandedly killed multiple drives vs Texans He is not a good football player

Your name implies the issue that happened inside the locker room and the coaching staff/front office is shell shocked from it. They don't like that kind of player and got rid of the guy that was. Now we are basically just hoping any of the average Joe's turn into something more.

So he'd be free to sign here, I assume.

Both he and Kyle have such bad hitches, I dont know how that is even possible.
