All the divorced dad's have the same wrist injury as Bosa, specifically the right hand.

 

I'm a lefty!

Cook is going to get at least 1 vet rest day every week from here on. They can call it whatever they want.

Cook is on pace to have 325 carries for the season. He is not a large guy. I know his smooth running style and body control prevents him from taking a lot of big hits, but he is getting too much work imo. The problem is the Bills entire offense is so extremely reliant on him. If it feels difficult to remove him from the field because there is such a drop off, then it calls into question another area of roster building and depth where Beane deserves scrutiny.

 

That would imply you need to have someone close to the best RB in football as your 2nd or 3rd RB.

 

Anyone who has an Elite RB has this problem. If you have someone like a Cook or a Taylor, you're going to have a massive dropoff if they go down. League wide, 2nd or 3rd RB's are fairly unimpressive ball carriers. 

 

Like the best situations league wide are going from Bijan Robinson to Tyler Allgier or from Christian McCaffrey to Brian Robinson. And like having a decent Backup QB, these are outliers. Most teams with good to very good RB's go from a James Cook to a Ty Johnson or Ray Davis.

Likely they don't.  But my point is, the franchise is in upheaval.  There are multiple issues going on over there.

You are correct.  There certainly are.  McDaniel is in over his head as the head coach.  

 

And there are a lot of distractions in South Florida.  I live part time in Fort Lauderdale.  And my boys who are in their 20's live in Miami.  A lot of fun, (if you know what I mean) that can take your focus away from what you should be prioritizing.

 

In the high rise I live in down there, I rode up the elevator one day with this huge dude.  I had a Bills T shirt on.  And he made a favorable comment about Bills Mafia.  I asked who he was.  And it was Patrick Paul.  The Dolphins Left OT.  He was real friendly.  Just massive.  And I am over 6 feet.

I dont know I think we are going to dismantle the Dolphins.

By my count, thats 8 players on the defensive side of the ball on the injury report this week to go along with the other 9 defensive players placed on IR since the start of training camp...not including people that are banged up but not showing up on the list...thats about as bad as I can remember.

Undersized and under conditioned

As we get into the latter stages of the season, I suspect we will see Davis and Johnson get more carries. With that said, Cook is elite and will most likely get 16-20 carries per.

Beane deserves scrutiny in lots of places

I wonder how miserable you'd all be if we had a bad GM?

It would probably just be easier to just list the players who are not hurt…
