Espn Analytics- Wide Receivers

[TheMarathonContinues]

My fear is the realization that Cooks and Gilmore are just simply on the downturn of their careers and may not contribute in helping our team take the next step.

I had hopes that Gilmore, Cooks, Mazi, Overshown and Deuce would be the difference makers this year……we still have a lot of season yet but I’m not seeing the progress I had hoped for.

Obviously, Overshowsns injury fall into a different category .

I never had hopes of OVershown and Mazi. They are rookies. Not top 10 picks. Gilmore has been fine. The best #2 we've had around here in a long time. Cooks has been disappointing but I just don't see him getting the touches too concerned with giving it to Gallup.

How is he going to do that with the poor protection he is getting?

and if he could run, then he wouldn't need blocking anyway.

He can run fine. He's not, though, a running QB like Fields or Jackson. Don't think that all players who look a certain way play a certain way. Bad look for you

MG n Cooks will improve.

Gallup is what he is, but I have noticed it this year plenty, there is a lack of separation. Honestly think we got Cooks on the decline and we are not using him correctly, for being such a burner most the time he is well covered, yes some of that is because of play design.

Yea, we went from 2 number ones, to a non existent 2, and a player that complimented the 2 others well. He is still doing fine, with subpar/backup qb play.

 

[CCBoy]

No doubts, Cooks will pick up significantly.

 

[Ranching]

Sadly though, Cooks has been just as bad according to these metrics

Cooks is new, he'll come around. Gallup has no excuse anymore. ACL is healed.

I’m questioning them then because to me Cooks simply hasn’t gotten the ball.

agreed. MG is a drop waiting to happen. Cooks hasn't gotten many opportunities yet. And if you sign a 4.3 guy, can we have him run more than 5 yard routes please.

 

[Risen Star]

You can't evaluate WRs without also factoring in their QB.

I agree that Gilmore and Cooks may be on the downside, like Anthony Barr was when they acquired him.

Mazi will be okay. I think Overshown will too because what made him good was not just his athletic ability. He showed some fire in his style of play. I am not high on Deuce. I think his abilities are limited by the length of his legs.

But I would also agree that they are not using Cooks correctly. In fact, I don't think they use Gallup right either. He is a one or two trick pony so that's what they should use him for. Tolbert should be running those slants, not Gallup.

It’s like they are scared to use their speed. Turpin scores a touchdown and he never gets another chance….

Yup. Don't get it. Those guys should be scaring defenses. They're not.
