Brandon Cooks grab your playbook coach wants to see you

[Coogiguy03]

Agree, Cooks seems cooked, or is it lack of imagination from play design? He runs very simple routes and not very effective.

Did Brooks play at all?

Come back routes only

 

[Coogiguy03]

I think they know dak can't consist make the throws cooks needs to be effective.

Amen

 

[Rockport]

Some of us have been trying to say he has been done for a while

Some of us don’t make knee jerk reactions.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Cooks is running the routes on the plays called.

This isn't a Cooks issue, it's a McCarthy issue.

 

[TheSport78]

Lies. Jerry and Stephen will tell you how Cooks was one of the greatest trades in recent NFL history.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Cooks is cooked. Dbs have no reason to be afraid he'll run by them

Between Gallup and Cooks, we've had #2s at 7 figures playing like #3s.

Turpin is tiny, but he at least has juice.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Our number 1 draft pick next year needs to be a WR with serious speed, because outside of Turpin our receivers must be the slowest group in the nfl who get zero separation. Thankfully Dak was throwing dimes last night.

But we are so damn slow it seems, wandale Robinson seems like the fastest player ever compared to our guys yesterday.

And they are all so small. I think CeeDee is our tallest WR. We are tiny and slow at this position

Round 1 speed wr
Round 2 RB

Interesting cause I got blasted in the summer for saying cooks is overpaid. Part of the problem is the routes he's asked to run. Look how often our guys are asked to run 10 yards then either sit in a spot or come back towards the QB. Nabors had our young db's on skates and getting twisted, we do not have a single receiver who can do that to get open.

 

[Smith22]

I would give Tolbert more snaps, maybe Cropper or Flournoy.

Cooks just doesn't seem to have the juice anymore.

I think it's a bit of both. The offense isn't doing him any favors.

But they won't scheme to get him open. They only do that for Ceedee

 

[darthseinfeld]

Some of us actually watch the games and dont make excuses for players

 

[Manster_Mash]

We are terribly slow at almost every position on the field, with the exception of Parsons and Overshown.

 

[John813]

His salary is fully guaranteed now. No point in cutting him.

No kidding.. I can't tell you how many times I found myself wincing when the ball left Dak's hand only to see a dart basically force the receiver to catch it in self defense. I think Cooks will have his games. He needs the right kind of matchup to do his thing. Curse of the short quick receiver is that if you get matched up on a short quick corner you need multi-cut routes to create any separation and it doesn't look like our offense features a lot of those. Though if I'm not mistaken Cooks obliterated his man on one in the Cleveland game. But the lack of pass protection might be the reason we don't see a lot of those.

Tolbert isn’t exactly magical out there but he has ability as a Patrick crayton type Possesion receiver

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

He, like 99% of this team, simply sucks.

That’s all the explanation you need

LOL

 

[Gonzomandela01]

I wouldn't be against trading for a better WR2 this season, bigger or faster, or better both, is there anyone out ther little Stevie would be open to paying for?

Not a star of course, but someone that can have an impact on this offense.

I like to see what Flournoy can do but that won't happen, not for this season.

I'm often pretty quick to shoot down trade options, but WR is one that seems to have guys at least being shopped around each year. Diontae Johnson may be a guy to keep an eye on in Carolina as we get close to the deadline.

 

[Creeper]

He is no longer the quick speedy receiver he once was. He seems to be a misfit on this team. They need a real #2 WR still. Cooks isn't it.

 

[Aven8]

Turpin should replace him. No one is kicking to him anymore so we need to use the hell out of him
