Hebert19 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Dude is playing well. Yet we throw it 3 times in red zone every time. Nevermind getting Beasley and brown on the field...as I want.

Charles Romes Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Cook fumbled his first touch of the year and that was it. Very strong hands after that. Lesson learned. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Heard that earlier in the year his practice habits were terrible, but McD recently gave him credit for turning that around. Maybe Cook thought the NFL would be just as easy as Georgia and didn’t put the work in. That belief also would’ve been reinforced by his early success in camp. He’s turned it around and is looking the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 He set a personal record by breaking not one, but two tackles today and I only saw him lost on offense once, which might also be a personal best. Props to him for sticking with it and getting better. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestak4ever Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 He has fresh legs and could be a huge weapon for us in the playoffs. The fins will probably blitz heavily just like they did the two games this season. Cook could be the weapon that makes them pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone loves a breakout rookie but he is solid as a slow grower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Josh looks for him but too many times Josh is focused down field when Cook is open parallel him at the sidelines. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His patience means he gets positive yards without it...but he needs 10 pounds this offseason I will agree 23 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: As long as Josh looks for him but too many times Josh is focused down field when Cook is open parallel him at the sidelines. And even if there is a flat defender he gets 5 easy. I saw Josh look away from that a couple times today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh put it about a yard in front of him and Cook made an all hands catch. Thats something that keeps drives alive and I love to see. He does the little things well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Big Cook fan and happy to say I was telling folks "just wait" when people were getting impatient and frustrated. (I've been wrong plenty so I'm gonna take the win lol). I hope he's a huge part of the playoffs because I suspect that will mean we win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I don’t think the Kamara comparisons for Cook moving forward into his career are far-fetched anymore. That being said, I highly doubt McDermott will go heavy Cook in the playoffs. Probably a split like we’ve seen. …but man, Cook has a ton of potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw, imo, Dorsey could stand to learn to integrate the running game into the team’s offense with some imagination, that and play Smoke more, Dorsey is a really smart guy, so he must realize these are areas needing attention, but it’s likely just me…, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
