Inigo Montoya Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Nice find OP, thanks for sharing. The run game certainly came alive last week. I hope it was something the Bills were doing better and not something the Bears were doing badly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I've only been calling for sprint draws/draw plays for Cook all season. That last run would've been another TD had it been Jimbo. My question is why did Motor cut it back inside towards trouble when he could've stayed outside and picked up more yardage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game & had nearly the exact same view of the play as that video. I said the exact same thing to my 14yo son when Singletary cut back into a tackler, we both said at the same time "Cook would've scored on that". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singletary knows he doesn't have elite speed. He cut in because he thought he could maximize yardage that way. It was a split second decision, and maybe the wrong one. But he usually does a good job of maximizing his yardage and usually makes good decisions. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2Moulds Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Thanks for sharing. The thing that sticks out to me is Cook's speed. I also won't get too excited, because the Bears have a bad defense, but there has been some signs of life with our running game this year. Bodes well for the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Motor has that strange galloping stride on long runs. I always think he's gonna get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaggersEOD Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I think the cold weather had a lot to do with our rushing performance. Both Ds seemed to be playing with concrete shoes. inexplicably, the Bears decided to stop running while we, fighting all team tendencies, kept at it and the score reflected those decisions. Again, just eyeball observations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the Bears D still seemed a lot less nimble and our RBs seemed like they were able to take advantage. Like their cuts/cutbacks worked when usually it seems like they don’t.

If you go back and watch some of Motor's runs, he make wrong cuts and choose the run holes alot of the times. Some 5 yd gains he made could've been 15 yd gains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook (surprisingly) doesn't have elite speed either. He ran a 4.42 40 at the combine, which is good but not elite. He seems so much faster though. I think he's quick, not really fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Cook squeezes between guys, applies a quick stutter step. Droving the 2nd line D into slightly bad angles--just enough with CHI. I hope this is our RB/O and not just frozen feet and CHI bad D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Seemed like Chicago had some kind of wide 9 scheme. DE were split out way on the edges. There were some huge holes. Cook and Motor were just knifing through. Haven't seen the ground game take over like that in a while. Loved seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's Dingleberry. That's what he does. I get he's high character high effort, but when we talk physical ability and skills there is a lot to be desired. Can't wait for the transformation to Captain James Cook! Arrrrrrggg!!! This offense could really use his explosion and athleticism out of the backfield, so much opportunity underneath we just have not taken advantage of. Will be nice to have a RB that can make the saftey miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Erik's tweets are also quick, vs the more in depth Cover1 podcasts. Eric Wood on his weekly piece did run breakdown vs Bears, I like him usually https://www.buffalobills.com/video/chopping-wood-film-session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
