First impression: James Cook


Victory Formation

Recommended Posts

I posted this in the post game thread but I think it's worth a repost here

 

Cook was our leading rusher last night 

 

Cook 11 carries/53 yards and used his speed to rip off a long 38 yard run - 4.8 yd average

 

Motor 6 carries/19 yards - 3.2 yd average

 

Moss 3 carries/17 yards - 5.7 average

 

Need to start giving Moss's carries to Cook

The RB by committee sucks for this team because we are pass happy, and for good reason.  These guys hardly get in any rhythm, I thought after the end of last year this ***** would be over.  Singletary proved he can handle a load late last year. I’m not sure about the other two, maybe they can too, but this rotation is terrible.

They abandoned the run when they got up by 3 scores.

Yeah I’m not complaining that we won most certainly not but it would seem then in games where we go up by three scores that would be a great opportunity to work on a running game we are doing awesome right now but we need a balanced attack sooner or later defenses are going to adjust what they’re doing to us

If anybody has video of Cook's only big run, I'd love to watch the schnowman doing his thing again.

That was funny as hell. 

 

Here it is.

Dawkins is the only starter left on the field and he's still getting after it.

It's not as fun as losing, but it'll do for now. :lol:

Would’ve been a 67 yard house call if Farley wasn’t a freak athlete

 

I'm still not convinced Cook has the long speed that everybody seems to have been taking for granted since he was drafted.

He’s certainly fast and is going to be quite good when he starts getting more comfortable.  He’s gotta get more minutes and hopefully we set up more passes out of the backfield for him.  All the negative nonsense is silly. Kid is very talented and his bloodlines are proof of that as well. He looked very Dalvin-like on that big run for sure.  Agree we need to bolster the line moving forward.  It’s necessary for the long term success of Allen, Cook and the rest of the team.

I think he does but he’ll have to go relatively untouched. Having to run through any arm tackles is gonna slow him down a lot more than it slows down guys like JT, Henry, and Chubb.

Here is cook in the national championship game against Alabama. Listen to Kirkstreets analysis of Cooks cutback and vision. This is the speed everyone's talking about

I'm just talking about long speed.

There were three college players running stride for stride with him in that clip.

I don't think he can run away from NFL DBs.
