A lot of his carries were stuffed or only a couple yards and that put us behind the sticks. We don't have the horses to catchup when behind the sticks. Been trying to tell people who seem to think Cook can't be stopped or we dont need a receiver or think our offense is secretly elite that eventually someone will stop our run game and this would happen.
We have nothing but a bunch of roleplayers. Sure Cook is good but can be stopped. Shakir is our only trusted receiver so he can be stopped. Kincaid is good but gets hurt or has brainfarts and can also be stopped. There is no true receiver that defenses worry about on this team. People expect us to continue on 10+ play drives that require perfection all game every game. We throw the ball behind the LOS like 10 times a game. Chunk plays are a necessity in the NFL. Having a strong pass game is a necessity in the NFL. Half of Cook is actually the oline being that good schematically, but eventually coordinators figure out how to stop that schematically. It was never a winning formula to be one dimensional. If you are going to be one dimensional then its better that you are one dimensional passing.
