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

[Brooksey]

I'd have him run a timed 40. If his 10 yd split is right, then offer him something. But he looked slow for the Jets.

He runs a 4.8 now

 

[RonnieT24]

IIRC he's a hard runner so, hell yeah! Doesn't everybody have to clear waivers at this point though?

He's a lot of things but a hard runner is not one of them. He's a scatback who is prone to injury and fumbles quite a bit. Basically he's an older version of what we already have.

 

[TheSport78]

Not generating anything behind a poor OL is the point lol.

Talking about Pollard anyway.

We don’t have a poor OL, in my opinion.

 

[john van brocklin]

This would be a very good signing at this juncture...add him and some ol and LB help, try and get through Washington mostly healthy and then let's go

Just read today's ESPN article on Cooks.
He is subject to the waiver wire.
Are we ahead of the phins on the waiver wire?
We both have the same records.
He appears to be available cheap as he reworked his contract to get released.
No guarenteed money.
So if we claim him, we just pay for one game.
Seems like a nobrainer to me.

 

[Sydla]

Eagirls will get him - watch

Zero shot.

 

[GINeric]

Having Dalvin would be nice.... but you could put McCaffrey behind this O-line and we're still 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

Fix the offensive line and/or blocking scheme and we can talk. The offensive line is the problem.

We are currently #30 on the waiver wire. The only teams behind us are 49ers #31 and Ravens #32.

 

[JW82]

Hard to know what he has left playing for that garbage team.

 

[doomsday808]

That would be a good move. BUT, not the Cowboys style to add a an important piece to this team this late in the season. Same old, "We like our guys", "We have the team to win the SB" etc... I see him going to an AFC contender. Ravens or Chiefs.

 

[baltcowboy]

We lost to them and have the same record. Believe we are ahead of then in the waiver wire (could be wrong though).

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

 

[OmerV]

I've thought it was odd all season that Cook wasn't more involved in the offense. Absolutely Breece Hall needed to be the main RB, but why sign a guy with Cook's credentials and not use him?

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Honestly the Cowboys should look into it. He’s washed but he at least has experience and is decent in short yardage.

agreed but Miami wanted him in the summer so likely goes there

 

[chagus]

Me too.

Absolutely.

 

[joseephuss]

He's a lot of things but a hard runner is not one of them. He's a scatback who is prone to injury and fumbles quite a bit. Basically he's an older version of what we already have.

One fumble every 75 touches is not bad. He has only one season with 5 fumbles and has 21 total fumbles. He has not looked good at all this season.

 

[big dog cowboy]

 

[BrassCowboy]

yes, I would. Pollard needs to go back to support role where he exceeds at. And yes, definitely Rico fits in there as well, but we really need the tough runner right now.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

u could get a better rb off any practice squad

dalvin cook stinks

is he better than Deuce? Davis? Dowdle? he has only had 67 rushes for about a 3.8. jets suck in rushing, not sure if its their OL, if its cook, if its both, if its injuries. but he did have some good years in past few years.

 

[quickccc]

He is going to Miami

Fins' HC McDaniels is of that Shanahan tree of RBs, they prefer speed, splash backs in their slant, cutback run scheme.

If he's headed to Miami, that would make me wonder about the health of RB Mostert.

 

[CATCH17]

Screams Baltimore.

 

[plymkr]

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

We definitely need to do this. This would be perfect
