Big Turk

This seems to be a common theme with these idiotic teams like them and the Jets lately... I mean are they really THAT worried about offset language?? It's ridiculous...these contracts are basically plug and play under the new CBA and these dysfunctional teams still figure out a way to screw it up.

And I'm...lying in bed...just like Brian Wilson did... RIP to a brilliant, troubled mind and soul...

They are the anti-Josh Allen in the postseason.

Without Josh Allen 7-10. Without anyone else, who cares, not much difference

They have had some good seasons, but Prescott has turned into Peterman in the playoffs too often.

I mean, I literally watched a play where Allen almost got killed immediately because Cook whiffed on his block so fast, Allen barely had time to get rid of the ball before being drilled. It was honestly impressive that Cook could miss a block that badly that it led to Allen getting hit so quickly...that's how bad it was.

Have you watched him in game? He is awful, even last year. Improving when you are starting at like a 0/10 and "improving" to a 2/10 isn't moving the needle.

And he identified it as a hole in his game and worked to improve. He also is a far bigger back than Cook, which makes him physically a much more imposing blocker. What matters is Cook working on improving on that area of his game, which doesn't seem to be happening.

No thanks...he has been injured far too often the last 2 years, and at times, had some questions about just how injured he actually was.

I agree that Cook probably views himself like that because his argument would be "You don't ask me to do it!" in regards to pass pro, and the Bills argument is "That's because we CAN'T!". I mean, imagine a key situation on 3rd down where he is in the game and Allen has to audible into a call that forces Cook to stay in and block due to the defense sending extra guys or the look they are in...the play gets blown up due to Cook whiffing on a block. Essentially he cannot be on the field on 3rd down because even tho he isn't asked to do it often, when you have to do it, you have to be able to do it well, not look like you are waving a cape in front of the bull like Ole! Also, if he would be on the field on 3rd down, I would expect the Bills face more designed calls to get pressure directed at Cook and take advantage of his lack of ability as a blocker...teams are not stupid...they look to exploit the weak link and he would, by far, be the weak link in that situation. That's the downside to his argument. Just because he isn't asked to, doesn't mean he shouldn't work at getting better at it, especially because if he is trying to force his way out of here, he will likely be going to a team that asks him to do it a lot more and expects that from him.

Sounds like you don't pay attention during the games much

I just stream anything I want to watch online. Great feeds, watch 3-4 extra games on Sunday that way while having the main 1pm and 4pm games on.

situational 3-4 sack guy, maybe 5 sacks tops. Likely looks great against bad teams and invisible against good ones.

that's my point...he is limited to a 2 down back because his pass pro is abysmal, often times getting Allen nearly killed by whiffing on blocks. If he wants to be "worth" that money then he should have spent the off-season working on this not crying about money. Having a massive hole in your game for an RB that limits his ability to be a 3 down back is one of the best ways to ensure you don't get a big contract.

Ironically the closest it's ever come to happening was during a Bills game

It's hard when Cook is a liability in pass pro which means he essentially can't be on the field on 3rd downs... Hard to commit that kind of money to a 2 down back no matter how good he is

Fred Jackson...he reminded me of Thurman so much with the way he would run as if he had eyes in the back of his head and always knew the right angle to take so a chasing player couldn't get him. If the Bills stopped trying to to replace him every year and just let him play, he would have been a 10K yard back for them.

The last 3 SBs.

Who cares, both teams suck.

It simply delays the inevitable and puts them another year further out from potentially becoming great again because it's never going to happen until they find their next Roethlesberger.

It's crazy how some teams just won't admit when they need to go into rebuild mode. Steelers are going nowhere until they accept reality.

Having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like getting the protection of Bateman when you need Batman. Maybe he should go do a podcast or something.

If he can stay healthy, that will be a bargain based on his improvements last year.

I could care less. Just show up and perform during the season. Less time doing drills means less chance of getting injured.

Guessing Diggs didn't make the cut...
