Mr. WEO

Hope isn't a plan, but I appreciate your optimism. Also, Henry and Barkley couldn't be more physically different than Cook. The record book for 100+ YPG isn't littered with small RBs.

Sure it was: Barkley has done to once in his career--he isn't even close this year. Henry has done in once in the last 3--he won't get there this year. Also, in 2 of the 3 games where Cook was under 100 yards, the Bills lost, with only 200 yards passing on average. So, no.

misdirection question. why not ask "will he?" or "why won't he?"? The odds are he will not, based on historical data--this average is 50% higher than his past 2 seasons. Also, multiplying every RB who has played over every season over the history of the NFL, there have been under 90 100 YPG seasons total.

what happens to this new elite Offense when Cook stops averaging over 100 YPG?

Might as well just play 10 on D anyway

Git er done!!

why…

why does it matter?

This would have been more shocking if this was, like 2018.... The Rooney family has entered the same circle of idiocracy as that of the Mara family.

If he was a RB or CB, this would not be a problem.

This is a smart move. Resigning fantastic player to a stacked roster. comparator the Browns idiotic breaking bank for Garrett, their only great player on an awful team—instead of getting a haul for him. His continued presence on that team is meaningless.

the OP is referencing this year. I don't have the data on the overall game outcome/impact of each specific Bills holding penalty vs Chiefs in past years to be able to agree with you.

couple times yes. But we’ve seen Josh bail out an overpowered O line for years now

Bills have run 80 3rd down plays and 5 4th down (converted 3). 4 of 85 plays isn’t game altering.

Take Josh out of the measure and they really aren't a great O-line. His prerelease time is of his own making, often running laterally from relentless pressure. He is one of the hardest QBs to sack--not because of his protection. We see this every week.
