Silvercrw Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 If you look at the numbers James Cook has 697 yards on the year 2nd to only Christian McCaffrey. Crazy because I would've never expected that. 13 8 2 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy because I would've never expected that. I assume part of that is our very late BYE week, but it is indeed shocking to see a Bills running back in the top 32, much less the top 2. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Glide as I call him, has been great this year. It's why I'm pissed he hasn't been utilized more by Dorsey.  The kid is sneaky good. Doesn't look like he's moving but he continues to pick up chunk yards. 3 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whkfc Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Wow rushing stats are wayyy down in the NFL. That would put the league leader in the 1200 yard range. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Cook was fantastic today. Â He made Quincy Williams and CJ Moseley look really slow. Â 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of RBBC. Lot of starters missing a few games here and there. Lots of guys who were mainstays in the top of the RB list getting older. And Arthur Smith submarining Robinson's rookie year. If the Colts didn't bring back Taylor and kept feeding Moss I think he may be leading the NFL right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven233 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I would actually expect his usage to grow, particularly in the pass game, over the next few weeks. We have to find a way to win at least 3 of the next 4 to stay in this, though. Going to be a tough road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I would love to see Cook become the all purpose back they drafted him to be. Could definitely still be used more in the passing game but he's closing in on a 1,000 all purpose yards and should easily eclipse that this season. Just remember, the K-Gun was powered by Thurman Thomas for those of you getting nostalgic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I think he’s the ideal type lead the back for a Josh allen Lee offense.  Just need to get him more involved in the run game.  His improvement has stood out to my eyes.   funny there was a thread claiming cool can break tackles and has zero physicality.  Psssshhhhhya 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 He's actually 3rd with 688 yards, only 3 yards behind Mostert and 137 behind McCaffrey. Â Still impressive, although I think it speaks more to the modern NFL relying on committee backfields and generally handing off less. He's on pace for 1,077 rushing yards through 17 games. Â Regardless, I hope his usage increases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Another surprise?   The Bills D is now 4th in scoring in the NFL and is allowing fewer points per game and yards per game than the D last year that was ranked 1st or 2nd.  Even with all the defensive injuries, this team is still extremely good on D...seems kinda crazy a top 5 scoring D and top 7 scoring O is only 6-5.   1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessImproverMan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Cook has alot of speed at the running back position (very noticable how he moves faster than the other backs and is very smooth). We seriously need to feed the man with screens and getting him into space more. Brady made a career out of screens and swing passes to running backs and quick hits to tight ends and a solid receiver. Cooks along with Kincaid and Diggs can do that if schemed well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Coot Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The resurgence of the Bills' running attack has been an unexpected delight over the past few games. Â The backs seem to be making it past the DL before they are hit. This seems to indicate that our OL is actually opening holes for the backs. Â Is this correct? If so, why the inprovement in our OL? Scheme? OL jelling? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
