GreggTX Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Cook is a gadget player, but a very good one. They probably should have waited until round 3 to draft him. 1 1 3 3 3 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 Would be nice. No one ever wants to take a quality guy like BIJAN ROBINSON, BUT LOOK AT a mediocre talent laden team like the falcons , who are 2-0 as BIJAN has 170 yards from scrimmage , i heard quoted today, in each of those games. Guy does not go down or OOB with the breeze. Still , we saw glimpses of power running today. It was so great and something we have never had under the beane /mcd staff. They are great but i just hope they stay focused on what it takes to win when the circumstances affect passing. We saw what too much ineffective passing can result in week one. COOK. Is a good college back , but a little light in the pros. Great job today tho with Dorsey mixing it up well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook wouldve looked better last year behind this above avg line, as opposed to last years bottom 10 OL That said, he certainly looked like a guy that can start today. I know the Raiders arent the Jets defense, but holy shizzz, we lined up in big formations and ran the ball successfully when 71k ppl knew a power run was coming. Cooks just getting started and so is this OL who needs serious time to gel after major shakeups. Get these 2units firing close to ceiling by January and defenses are going to be stresseddddddddd 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 2 minutes ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said: get this noise outta here dude has legit speed. Yep. That burst shined Sunday. Having the multipronged threat of Murray and Harris , who each bring a different "look" to the equation is going to be a lot of fun to watch if Dorsey can keep his laptop intact. As I mentioned in some other threads, Our O Line had been waiting to get a consistently called run game going. We just saw it. Balanced and smart wins football games. Fact all 3 backs had opportunities from the O line etc. And made use of them. Give me more. Go Go James ! 7 minutes ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said: get this noise outta here dude has legit speed. Vision, hands. He is coming along nicely. Expect more plays from him this season 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Did stats come out for how often cook was in the game while Allen was under center and it was a run? The run game looked good when Allen is under center but worry Dorsey/Allen won't build up on it and will become very telegraphed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Cook sucks. Not a popular opinion among the masses here but it'll become more apparent as the season wears on. 2 2 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He avoided a hit. Breaking a tackle, IMO, is pulling away/out of an arm tackle or absorbing a hit and continue running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Yeah, I just think Dalvin is a much stronger back. The burst and locks swaying is similar though. The kid can get the corner with the best of them. Once we get the big smooth implemented properly, the sky’s the limit for this O. Diggs, kingcaid and cook could be a solid big 3. Add knox, Gabe and the misfits. It’s all on Spencer brown! 14 minutes ago, Solomon Grundy said: He really resembled Vikings Dalvin Cook against the Raiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I thought he started the game quite slow with back to back poor/mediocre runs on our opening 3 and out. It looked like he was benched after that as Murray got the next few series and ran with some VIOLENCE. Then Cook came back in and played great rest of the game. Maybe he needs that fire under his ass 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I really liked Cook's game. I think the praise is a taaaaad strong but so be it. Hope he continues to show out. I love Murray's running style and want to continue to see him EARLY in games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
