Try and get him going a little bit with all the injuries at WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 58 minutes ago, Orlando Tim said: Our WR core is shredded and Cook needs to stop making a few plays so that we can use him as our slot guy and move Shakir to the outside. Cook has been overwhelming so far but I truly have high expectations for him. Underwhelming....but you're right he needs to step it up.

Agreed. 2 of the 4 games he’s botched his 1st touch which basically ends his day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t bring the kid along an expect him to grow and get confidence using him this way. It’s a big mistake, we need some production from him, not going to get it this way. 5 minutes ago, HurlyBurly51 said: How many drives should he be allowed to kill with his drops? Diggs dropped a sure touchdown, Singletary dropped the same pass and fumbled, Davis had a couple drops, Crowder dropped a few.

He needs to make that catch when given the opportunity, and then he’ll get more chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Give me Singletary and Cook and make Moss inactive. I'm in the "Cook needs more touches camp." You'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no warm up period in games. When your number is called you either make the play or ride the bench. They aren't giving him a lot of snaps presumably because he isn't proving he's worthy of them in practice, and certainly not on gameday. Personally I'm getting kind of sick of him. He played on the national stage at Georgia, his biggest strength supposedly was catching the football, he plays the easiest position to acclimate to the pros, and still he is totally flopping. All I wanted for the offense this offseason was a good pass catching RB with dynamic ball carrying traits and it's hard to be worse than James Cook has been in that role. It's the McKittrick curse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 1 hour ago, Augie said: I think if we could block for them we would find out they are not the problem. They could be quite capable given a shot behind a better line. Until Singletary stops missing cutback lines the size of Texas, I think it’s fair for the blame to be shared between the O-Line and Running Backs equally.

Big Blitz Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You trade the f up when you can get a stud in a SB run year - especially when your top RB will be a UFA We could have drafted everyone we did plus Breece in RD 2 or late RD 1. Would have cost a 2nd maybe in 2023. And this year's 2nd. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risk vs Reward None. The difference being that Cook should continue to at least be given a chance, whereas Moss should not. Cook needs to execute when given the opportunity, or he will rightfully continue to be limited. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I didn't have high hopes in the kid but thought his production would of been much better. good example of a player struggling to make that transition to the next level. he had a pretty good career with georgia. still some time to see if he can play to his highest potential?
