A grown man named Booger? 

You pick your nose when you're 8 and you're Booger for the rest of your life?

 Growing up in S Buffalo I knew a guy named Mad Dog. I ran into him in a bar while visiting a couple years ago and asked him how he got his nickname. He shook his head and said: " you bite a kid in the face when you're 10 and you're 'Mad Dog' for the rest of your life.

It took them 3 quarters to get anything resembling a rhythm going.  They did sign Cooks to replace Watkins and hes proving to be not much of a decoy.

 

Yeah, it's called actually producing.  McVay said he let Sammy walk because he felt he was too one-dimensional.

 

And what a tale of two halves.  Looked like the Rams made adjustments and the Raiders didn't.

Cooks caught 5 passes for 87 yards! Decoys are supposed to be seen but not heard.

Also drew a 50+ yard pass interference call, now that I think about it may have been twice that he got loose for a bomb and the corner didn’t turn around and got a PI.

 

Goff didn’t connect on any deep shots but his ball did look improved from last year.

That's what they said on MNF when discussing Cooks replacing Sammy.

It sounded more like McFarlands opining on the matter rather than a quote. I didn’t hear him attribute that to McVay at all; perhaps I heard it wrong. Cooks is smaller/ quicker maybe, I’m not even sure about the last part. Anyway, the Rams bowed out on a bidding war and got a different player. I didn’t see him do anything spectacular and Watkins would likely get lambasted for the same stat line in a game. Not trying to change anyone’s mind here, but I’d still take Watkins on the Bills all day long.

Cooks caught 5 passes for 87 yards.  That's a pretty good outing.  And IIRC, it was the guy announcing who said that, not McFarland.
