Great 1st game for Cobb. Beasley not missed at all. Good riddance to Beasley and his big mouth.

yes and yes BUT hes long in the tooth you worry about his legs late in the year..lets pray he and this offense has more of these days in them..I know this wont be weekly occurrence.. hopefully KM shows defenses we can win with powerful run game that if you come down to stop, they will go wide open and different then years past where it seemed like if the game plan went south the in game adjusments were not made.. KM will need to prove this over 16.. sure im happy but im not overreacting either way..

At the beginning of training camp:
Cobb: Age 28'
Beasley: Age 30

It's funny. In training camp all I heard was how Cobb was just average, whereby Maliek Collins was amazing.

Come game time? Cobb balls and Maliek is just a JAG. Green Bay vs Dallas mentality.

look man what are you arguing about , we are talking in the present, Cobbs are player and hes older had a injury history , so its valid concern.. first game all fresh from an offseason is different then 10games in for older players, there legs can get worn out lose step or get injured..

Cobb is a talented player and a difference-maker -- he always has been.

His problem is that he wears down as the season goes along.

Last year he had 10 receptions for 142 yards vs Chicago in Green Bay's home opener -- just an incredible game for a slot WR.

Unfortunately, he ended up with only additional 239 yards receiving for the remainder of the season while dealing with nagging injuries and ultimately missing 6 games.

We need to collectively cross fingers that Cobb avoid wearing down like he has in 3 years in Green Bay because man did he complement the offense yesterday.

Cobb played so well, kind of scratching my head as to why Beasely was on this roster for that long

Beasley was our main passing-game weapon in 2016. Teams still had to respect Dez's deep game then and knew they had to stop Elliott, so we jabbed them to death with Beasley. The problem was that defenses figured out that Beasley was only an underneath threat, so they adjusted their coverage and took away what had been Dak's security blanket. In 2016, it was great to have him for the role that he played. After that, not so much.

I'm not sure anyone would have even thought Beasley was ever as good as Cobb. Cobb's issue has been health. It's awfully hard to produce from the sidelines or while on IR.

There were many saying that Beasley was better during his transition.

Beasley (Bills)
55% catch rate

Zero TDs
Notable Play: Pass bounced off his hands and returned for a pick-six.

Cobb (Cowboys)
80% catch rate
69 yards
13.8 yards/target
1 TD
Notable Play: Huge play to get a 1st on 3rd & long in the Redzone.
You should post this on Beasley's twitter since he loves running his mouth on there so much.....:laugh:

I remember some knucklehead posted that Cobb wasn't a lock to make the roster.
The same knucklehead felt we should've kept Hurns instead.

Normally, I wouldn't mention it but the kid who posted was a typical rude keyboard warrior.

That skinny post Cobb ran for his TD is a play that Cole B could never pull off.............................
Every WR in the league could make that play. It really helps when the defense doesn't try to cover you.

Cobb has 13 games of a possible 123 due to injury issues. That's 10.6% of all possible games.

Aaron had missed 16.2% of all possible games. Do people call him injury prone?
