Freddie's Dead Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 30 minutes ago, Dr. K said: Imagine Cook’s numbers if he could actually pass protect so they didn’t have to replace him to keep Josh from getting killed. One of the biggest plays Cook made was when they sent him on a wheel route after he bypassed the pass rusher and Josh laid a beauty on him for like 20 yards. The scheme can limit any "liabilities" Cook may have in pass protection. I've seen improvements in his pass blocking in the last few weeks, so I'm not buying that narrative. We were leading or tied the entire game, and we just stopped running the ball in the 2nd half. Inexplicable and inexcusable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't college, NFL dbs are way too fast. And you need someone who is NFL good at making tacklers miss like a PR/KR Diggs isn’t that guy.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I said he should be used like Kamara when we drafted him. He is a valuable weapon for this offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 12 hours ago, Special K said: 10 carries 58 yards 5 catches 83 yards 1 TD I remember reading somewhere that James Cook said in an interview that he wants to model his game after Alvin Kamara.....well he sure did a good job of that today! Having a dynamic RB that can both run and catch passes out of the backfield is the perfect type of RB for a QB like Josh Allen. I hope Cook continues to grow and improve, and that this game was the first step in his becoming that Kamara-esque RB for the Bills he wants to be!!! Having seen Cook play last year, and Damien Harris play over the years, I thought going into this season that Harris would be the first down back and Cook would have third downs. I really wasn't overly impressed with Cook his rookie year. But the more Cook grows, the more he grows on me. He was big time yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He does have that kamara ability to run fast while looking like hes not running fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh missed Gabe on a sure TD albeit he was under pressure and couldn’t see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs got pass rush going .. enough of the wasted sideways bubble crap screens. We needed ONE single run in order to get the clock to 2 min warning and we passed 3x. I agree with this statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strive_for_five_guy Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Loved Cook’s game yesterday, wish they would have handed him the ball more, especially last five minutes of each half. Anyone else get nervous on his backflip into the endzone though? I was far from a professional athlete and surely couldn’t pull that off, but definitely made me hold my breath for him.

Yeah I don't get this at all either. He looked like Thurman Thomas in the 1st half and then they get away from him in the 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, these days almost every team is running back by committee. It's fine. Cook is not a bell cow back. He is slight of frame and has never been a back that is on the field all game long.

billsbackto81 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Kid is on pace for over 1000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving. Everybody here would have signed up for that at the beginning of the season. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 One game is good, but two is a trend!! A truly elite performance by Cook today! 25 carries 179 yards 1 TD 2 catches 42 yards 1 TD Only blemish was that he dropped a walk in TD reception which would have given him 3 total TD's. Amazing how effective he has been since Brady took over as OC......how bad was Dorsey that he could not properly take advantage of his skillset. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Don’t look now but Cook is 2nd in rushing yards in the NFL behind only CMC. And 3rd in total yards from scrimmage behind CMC and Hill. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you told me at the start of the reason that we would have a younger, cheaper CMC on the roster I would tell the team to get sized for rings. Right now, Cook is the most potent offensive weapon Josh has not Diggs. And good. Now maybe we have a solution for bracket coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
