James Cook is slow...

I loved the pick when it happened and am really excited to see him take over the RB spot. He won't be a workhorse but will provide what we need from our rb. Great vision, patience, cut back ability, YAC ability, elusiveness, great hands and plenty of speed. I can't believe people here viewed him as a slow last year. Hesitant at the beginning of the year, sure. But his speed was never in doubt. Hopefully the YouTube link below works.

So fun to watch this offense early in the season when Allen was taking the short stuff underneath when it was there.  He was literally unstoppable early in the season when teams were just trying to cover everything deep and Allen had those quick hitters underneath whenever he wanted them.  Allen was on a 6000 yard total pace until the injury and the offense just seemed to fall off a cliff in the 2nd half of that Packers game. 

 

I know he said the injury prevented him from making certain shorter throws, but it is really noticeable when you go back and watch the games early when he basically did anything and everything he wanted to do.  Hoping he gets back to that this season.  Don't get me wrong, I still want Allen to sling the rock down the field most of the time, but taking the easy stuff and forcing teams to respect it and come up a bit opens up the deeper stuff and just make it easier on himself to hit the intermediate and deep stuff more often.
