Cooks is nothing special. Way overrated. A great guy and solid veteran, but his speed is gone.
We don't have any explosive route runners. Lamb is NOT a good route runner. Lamb is not explosive unless he gets the ball is space. Get him the ball in space against a subpar CB or by scheme, and he becomes explosive. But he is not quick off the line of scrimmage and doesn't separate much better than the other JAGS on our team. He is neither fast, quick or physical without the ball.
Great receivers beat double coverage because they are physical like Irvin on the slant or quick and good route runners like Beasley or a speed threat like TO which makes the DB give them room. Jerry overpaid for a #1 receiver who hasn't mastered his route-running and doesn't seem to work on it. However, if there was another real threat at receiver on the other side, Lamb could get back to being explosive.
DBs are not afraid of anyone on our team and safeties don't even have to think about our RBs.
