It's double edged. I love watching Cook do his thing, but it gives Brady a false sense of security that he can keep running it in close games. That leaves Josh less margin for error, and eventually has to put on the cape.
Successful for 5 or 6 drives, then 3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out. Saved by a couple penalties. Opportunities wasted that could've resulted in numerous kill shots. Missed FG didn't help.
If you're getting 6-8 yds. on a 1st down run, why not take your shot on 2nd and keep a defense honest?
Kinda feel Brady is having a problem finding a happy balance. He's content running an offense that limits JA's potential for Ints while dinking and dunking and zone concept rushing.
Jmoh....
