A Day in the Life
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photographHe blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords -

Can’t believe shakir was on the bench. Guy is making his case for no obj
He's made it in my opinion. OBJ doesn't;t bring that energy to the team

Headin' down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlightsI made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonightSo, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey... mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey... mama rock me -

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree (she's an angel)
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

Trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul
Since the day I was bornWorry
Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave
My mind aloneWell, I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a womanShe won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now -
There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know
Where a cement bag's just a-drooping on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, ol' Mackie's back in town
Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
And now Macheath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash? -
My friend, the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TVI don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've gotI'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame I'm looking up

They invested a 2nd round pick. Boogie Basham was a 2nd round pick and hardly dressed at all.
Boogie played in 8 games as a rookie. had 2.5 sacks and 18 tackles. maybe will see 3 TD's and 18 good plays from Cook this season. I certainly hope so.

Or it's McD not being able to manage RBs, like we've known for years.
See, I can speculate too.
Yep, makes zero sense. Dude was drafted as a dual threat like Kamara and they refuse even to try to use him that capacity.
last try: your alternative doesn't change my conclusion. Even IF McD is making a mistake, he still clearly doesn't see much value in playing Cook much...

That's not logic, that's speculation. You're attempting to draw a conclusion based on information you aren't privy to.
And again, our other RBs aren't doing much either, so the same flawed thought process can be applied there just as easy. Neither Moss or Motor are injured, have gotten most of the playing time and aren't producing much of anything. The only difference is the two guys that have been here longer get to play and not produce instead of not play and not produce.
yeah...i skipped a couple of premises cuz they seemed obvious: 1.Bills want to win every game 2. Coaches make personnel/playing time decisions on who gives them the best chance to win

So, you're chalking up his very scare playing time to him underperforming in practice and you know this how? Do you have some insider knowledge the rest of us don't have? And considering our other backs are getting playing time, but aren't producing a whole heck of a lot, your logic makes no sense.
logic: premise- Bills rushing has not been very good
premise: Cook is on the roster as rb
premise: Cook has seen limited playing time and is not injured
Conclusion: Coaches don't think Cook will help them win more games

You tell me considering other players and the coaching staff have been singing his praises since training camp.
Now you provide any evidence at all that shows he's been underperforming in practice. That's nothing but pure speculation.
the evidence is that he's not playing. football players and coaches always speak the truth? might it be that Miller and co r trying to give the rook a boost cuz he's struggling?
2 hours ago, Scott7975 said:Im more curious why they keep him active if he isnt going to play. Is it just in hopes that the Bills get a blowout and he can get some experience in garbage time? Hearing things that he is distant and doesnt really make an effort doesnt really seem like the type of player McD would keep active.
because they have invested a lot in him. kinda like holding onto a falling knife equity.

in the last 5 years, there have been 34 rookie rb's with over 500 yards rushing (including Singletary-moss had high 400's)- almost 7 a year. the idea that it takes time for a high pick rb to produce isn't supported by this.

I have a little observation about Cook from warmups today. I was in the front row by the Bills endzone where they were doing their pregame stuff.
Cook and McKenzie came out around 12:25 with the kickers. McKenzie was shagging punts and kickoffs. Cook was milling around, doing nothing. Just chill. He watched a practice kickoff land right at his feet, he made no attempt to catch it. Mckenzie sorta looked at cook with his hands up like “dude, cmon, make an effort”. I commented to my son, look at this guy Cook, he’s just slouching around making no effort to catch a practice punt or a KO. I’m not even sure why he came out early. He talks to no one, he shows zero energy or juice. When he finally gets the ball in a game he drops it. I just don’t see a reason why he’s on the active roster right now. I’m a firm believer you play how you practice. and he should’ve been handling the football at every opportunity in warm ups.
interesting observation. what i've seen of him gives me the impression he's not very motivated. his affect is strange. we know he's not very smart based on his abysmal wonderlic score. now you're giving some evidence of poor work ethic. not a good combination. many here are saying he's not getting enough touches. I expect that if the coaches were impressed with what he's shown in practices, preseason and limited regular season action, he'd be out there much more. It's not like we have a stable of awesome backs for him to compete for playing time with. It's early but so far, I've got to believe the coaching staff is disappointed.
