zow2 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 I'm still going to say it, Cook cannot break out of a paper bag... especially if the bag gets a twist tie around his arm or leg. But in all seriousness, there are some games that Cook is just not going to be a factor in the running game or screens. Dorsey needs to recognize that early and get the other RB's involved. Harris only got a couple touches today and he ran well as a north/south runner. I can't recall each series but when Cook was unable to run on first or 2nd down I think the Bills ended up punting. Very frustrating. I'm not really blaming James Cook for today, he's no Isiah Pacheco that's for sure, but Dorsey has to be smarter and have a feel for the game. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadBills Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Has he ever made anyone miss or broken a tackle? At least singletary made a few guys miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a RB you simply have to break some arm tackles. Watch Breece Hall for 2 carries and he’s everything Cook isn’t. Yes, when no one touches him, Cook is decent, but that’s the case with any RB. I need more Damien Harris or Murray. Cook seems like a nice change of pace, but not THE GUY to me. Hope im proven wrong We need more Damian Harris!! 3 months later and Cook still hasn’t broken a tackle iirc! Bring in Fournette!!

Bring in Fournette!! Lol. I love this. I think i said during the gameday thread how Cook is playing insane. The hands on that TD catch were as good as anyone. As for breaking tackles, James Cook does not even need to break any. The guy is slippery as hell and if he can continue to be slippery and the Oline plays like this he's the biggest weapon we have. So huge props to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 probably the best all around RB performance since Thurman Thomas last night.... The whole game I marveled at James' coming out party.... he has had some solid outings this year but the game against the Cowboys should earn him Offensive player of the week nomination 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
