McCarthy dismisses concerns of Brandin Cooks getting more targets

[Risen Star]

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy when asked multiple questions today about WR Brandin Cooks only having one catch (2 targets) vs. the Eagles: “We play to the discipline of the quarterback and the training of the quarterback. Yes, I’d love to see everybody get the ball. But when you throw for (374) yards and you got to come in here and answer questions about someone not getting the ball, I mean, come on, I don’t think that's a relevant evaluation.”

He's right.

Piss poor answer Corky....hopefully your coaching days here will soon be ending following the upcoming Wildcard route failure.

Fair enough, Mr. Rotundity, but wha about the wide receiver JAG formerly known as Gallup?

Corky.

You need to chill.

Should have traded him at the deadline. His talents are wasted here.

At least take advantage of his speed and send him deep to clear coverage.

They don't play to the strenght of the players, they made Dak a pocket passer, Pollard and inside the tackles runner and Micah a hand on the ground DE.

Oh what gives? Nothing matters, I'm just going to sleep until the next Eagles game.

Poor Brandin

Another WR’s career down the tubes at the hands of Dakota

Wait, didn't he answer an earlier question about he doesn't about fantasy football regarding targets for Cook and now he brings up passing yardage?

Can your team fandom come to an end already? I hear the Houston Texans are looking for fans. Heck, there are several ex-Cowboys you can follow there as well.

Discipline is a word that should never come out of McCarthy's mouth.

Reality would never trade me.

Exactly. If he’s going to bring up discipline then let’s discuss the lack of discipline of the whole team.

Can’t throw deep when your right tackle get whipped off the snap.

True, but that didn't happen on every play.

I love me some Mike

Given Cooks' 5.7 yards per target this year, he should probably be getting *fewer* targets.


Lamb, Tolbert, Turpin, Ferguson, Dowdle are the only players over 7ypt.
Cooks and Poillard under 6.
Vaughn and Luepke under 4.
Schoonmaker and Hendershot under 2.
That's just sad.

Lamb is at 11.4. Complete stud. Teams should double him with their 2 best corners and take their chances with everyone else.

Stupid answer. Why did Jerry go out and get him then?
