If Kincaid can continue contributing, we just need one more player to step up. Diggs is the obvious candidate. I'm happy with Ty Johnson and Shakir. Davis feels like baggage at this point. Did Davis even have a single catch today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebert19 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I'm a Dawgs fan and knew he'd be good. Good news is he has very little mileage too as he was mostly 3rd down back with them. Very little wear and tear. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Even without Elam turning into a starter yet (and I'm not convinced he will never be a good starter) the Cook and Bernard picks in rounds 2 and 3 are making the 2022 draft a success. That's not even counting Shakir and Benford who were taken in the 5th and 6th, respectively. (And Araiza was taken also in the 6th and him not playing is not due to football issues). That draft is looking like an A grade even with Elam not starting, Amazing. If Elam ever starts, that's an A+ draft for sure. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Foothills Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I mentioned this in another thread but it needs to be posted here too: As of earlier this season there were fans here roasting the Bills for taking Kaiir Elam at 23... especially in the context of the Jets taking Breece Hall at 36. In that same 2022 draft the Bills took James Cook at 63. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 James Cook is turning into the next Alvin Kamara before our eyes. The type of talent at RB, with a receiving skill set, that probably makes the Bills contemplate a second contract down the line. …especially given he was barely used at UGA. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I’ve been a critic of Cook (draft selection, not necessarily the player) but I was impressed with a few of his cuts/runs today. I think he continues to be a key piece, and for whatever reason, Allen is now willingly taking the back when nothing is there down the field. I will give props to Brady for sticking with the ground game, getting guys in space, and opening Allen’s eyes to the need to take it. I still have some concerns about this offenses ability to press the ball down the field, but today was a new way to win. I only wish they would have had this ability at earlier points throughout the year! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also pushes the pile pretty well when he lowers his shoulder. I've been waiting 25 years for another Thurman Thomas. As good as our RBs have been since Thurman left, James Cook is the closest to that all-purpose RB who can do it all (with respect to Fred Jackson, who I love). If McDermott wants complementary football, he's got it. As long as he continues to understand the purpose and also continues to trust Brady.

Cook now is 2nd in the NFL in rushing and has over 1400 yards from scrimmage on the season, which I believe is only second to McCaffery. Should finish somewhere between 1600-1800 yards from scrimmage this year which is an excellent season, and wouldn't be surprised if he goes on a run of 2,000+ yards from scrimmage seasons starting next year as long as he remains healthy. Just starting to hit his groove and coming into his own, and the Bills finally figuring out how best to use him. 20 minutes ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: I’ve been a critic of Cook (draft selection, not necessarily the player) but I was impressed with a few of his cuts/runs today.

When Allen willingly takes the checkdowns, the Bills offense becomes almost unstoppable...DC's are literally praying he stops throwing the checkdowns to Cook and Kincaid.

I won't argue the overall point about the value of a great RB, but Elway was always elite. It's like saying Dan Marino wasn't elite. Marino's greatness wasn't enough to win a championship without a running game, but it doesn't diminish how talented he was. Same with Elway, he just wouldn't have been enough to win a SB on his own.

I was just relaying what the guy on the radio was saying, I agree he was elite but winning the SB's sure cemented his legacy even further and TD got him those SB wins imo.
