How's RB Dalvin Cook sound for the playoff run?

[Mobinvans]

I remember all the fools who wanted to pay cooks crazy money start of season here

 

[Coogiguy03]

Yeah I don't get it. These same people complain about us not doing anything and "liking our players" but don't like anyone we realistically have a shot at getting lol.

I agree with this in 2024!!!

Follow Stephen and just wait wait wait and he'll be cut and we can get him for LESS than what we really offered the player in the off season

 

[Walker]

Heck yes get it done!!!

Sure one of the reasons why we do not run the ball well is scheme since were more of a passing threat, but its great to have him as insurance and we need insurance at the position going into the playoffs.

What has he done this year to suggest he has anything left? 67 carries for 214 yds 0t tds. 63 rushes for 170 yards (2.66 yds/carry) if you take out his 4 longest rushes (longest was 14 yds). To me, it sounds like what we can get from our current RBs.

He’s also shackled to one of the worst qbs in the leagie

This is a very simple way of looking at it

 

[Mannix]

although, the fact you dismiss the 4d chess of hiding Deuce Vaughn until the playoffs is concerning

Deuce needs to be hidden from "us"

This thread is a non starter. We like our guys

It's just that I can see Cook making a big play in a playoff game before I can see Dowdle doing it. That's why I'm interested. I realize the issue with the run game is the OL but that one big play may be the difference.

How much is it our OL and how much is it that our HB's suck? I have a hard time believing that an OL that has Martin and Smith on the interior is the main cause of running issue.

Even if Cooks isnt anything close to what he was (he isnt), he may just our running game a little bit of a jolt. Like you said, he is way more likely to break a play than Dowdle is

Dallas is not picking up his contract, no team is. He will be a free agent.

If a team did claim him, how much of his contract are they actually picking up with only one game remaining in the season?

Didn't seem to negatively affect Breece Hall. He performed much better than Cook.

 

[Blackspider214]

Dallas should be all over this

Which means they won't even think about it.

 

[slick325]

Cook signed a one year deal with the Jets and has waived guarantees reportedly. He is owed only approximately 70k for week 18 (he's received 17/18ths of his salary as of today), and then there are the incentives. He would make approximately 200k per playoff win. I'd need to know if the incentives were redone as well.

That isn't a bad deal even with the attainable incentive included. If Dallas wins a SB and has to pay him 870k, I'd think they would be just fine with that. Even Stephen the miser.

He'd be solid depth.

 

[Silverz1972]

Rather have breece hall. Cook is so hot and cold.

Hall was also shackled to the same QBs and OL and averaged 1.3 ypc more.

Not saying don't give Cook a shot, but your response isn't taking into account that Cook's ypc is less than any other back on the Jets this season (including Carter whom they cut earlier).

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Signing Cook sounds fun and I wouldn't mind it, but let's remember how many times Pollard has been hit behind the line this season.

Without better blocking the 1993 version of Emmitt Smith isn't helping this running game.

 

[DCwarrior]

It’s a no brainer if he clears waivers which I doubt he does.

 

[Mr_437]

I like the LC signing better than the Cook signing. Just a few months ago, never would have thought I'd say that.

You know it starts in the trenches.

 

[eromeopolk]

Fumbles.

 

[KJJ]

He’s done virtually nothing this season and is averaging only 3.2 a carry. Plus he’s had 2 fumbles.
