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

[Redsfan_83]

We already have Brandon Cooks. Too many Cooks spoils the pot.

but we now have 2 Wilsons and if we can find 2 Kitchens, we can have 2 Cooks in the Kitchen

The Dallas Cowboys have already secured their playoff spot, and if they beat the Washington Commanders on Sunday, they'll be NFC East champions and the NFC's No. 2 seed as well.

That's one reason Dallas should be at the top of Cook's list. The other is that the Cowboys have a dire need for a quality ball-carrier. Their offense has been plenty potent with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb leading the charge, but the Cowboys have struggled to consistently move the ball on the ground.

A dire need?



The Cowboys have a dire need for a formidable DT or MLB.

15 running plays on 1st down, and they averaged 2 yards per carry against the Lions. ...that's a playcalling issue and a blocking issue. And no RB we bring in will fix this.

This season, this offense is on Dak's shoulders. They should forego almost ALL 1st down runs (unless they're nursing a 2+ score lead), and instead use play action consistently, and get yards in the short passing game to RBs and TEs (more screens and such). Pollard can be used effectively to catch the ball in the middle of the field and in the flats. Or how about some jet sweeps with Turpin and others? Come on, McCarthy, get more creative please on 1st down!

So, yes, the Dallas offense has "struggled to consistently move the ball on the ground", but they don't need Cook, or Henry or anyone else...as they won't magically make this running game better. If we want to bring them in for depth since the Cowboys are a little banged up at RB, that could make sense...but Pollard still should be the #1 back. If anything, an added RB would take carries from Dowdle.

Yes please.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

He'd be cheap. I'm just saying.

Get a coaching job in college where a running back live on his own toughness.

Only a fool thinks Pollard can carry for more than 60 yards against anyone in the playoffs. Now you be the fool to try and do just that..

A linebacker was just brought in...you are reference positional groups mentioned since the off season. Keep current as the top defensive tackle will be coming back into play by the playoffs...




For your bright eyes...that is a source referenced post.

Please make this happen. In the name of Jimmy Johnson we pray.

Amen.

 

[Hadenough]

McCaffery has a calf injury. The 49ers will probably sign him.

 

[big dog cowboy]

This is blessing this teams need man.

He can help MM with the run blocking scheme and play calling?

It isn't bad and he gets a 3 week vacation to heal up.

 

[JayFord]

are yall whining again over free agents when the ones that have been signed on other teams arent doing well?

 

[J-man]

We all know he isn't what he was but I think he could be as close to what we're missing as we can get for the playoff run. If I'm Will McClay I'd be telling JJ and SJ to get him here asap.

 

[Jipper]

Listening to the fan this am and sounds like cook is totally washed up and has nothing left…sucks he’s only 28 but not the between the tackles guy we need…

 

[Risen Star]

 

[DC Cowboy]

This is misleading b/c when he was with the Vikings he got better with more carries and as the games went on.

 

[LBPick]

Before people start to say “he’s washed”

Exactly what would you say about Pollard

A rotation between pollard, cook, and Rico are actually a nice punch and could rejuvenate our running game

Or just commit to the wishbone if we have all three active.

 

[G2]

Crap or get off the toilet.

I’m not gonna try to defend the statement. I think if a team sold out on stopping Ceedee, Pollard could go for 120.

BWTBS, for you to make the statement “Be the fool and try to do it”… seriously??? From you???? lol…
Do we need to bring up some of the things you said would happen or happen this season??? You can’t tell people NOT to make a foolish decision to make an argument for a player to do anything, if you have as bad of record as you do in making predictions.

 

[tromofan]

He has hardly been used this season at all. To have a veteran split time with Pollard in the backfield. For a playoff run that has suddenly taken on a very different perspective, my God, why not??

 

[pacy]

Lol. So he wanted to get released to play for a Super Bowl contender only to get picked up by a losing team?
