Stephen: Cooks will miss "some games"

[KJJ]

Cooks ypt is 4.8.

Just miserable. Would have been reasonable to cut some of his snaps for Flournoy based on performance alone.

Flournoy missed some of camp with an injury and hasn’t done anything so far. Hard to cut snaps for a veteran WR for a sixth round pick who’s way down the depth chart.

 

[buybuydandavis]

you can't cut his contract which is the only reason he's playing in front of him!!!

Disappointment last year and this year.

 

[Bagman]

As far as I'm concerned, this is good news. Cooks isn't really providing much. No deep catches, he doesn't win 50/50 balls and honestly, doesn't even get open that well. I like Cooks as a mentor but I prefer a young, hungrier WR with some fight. It may be worth it to give the newbies a shot

Not when the veteran is just stinking it up.
Then you just start putting what you got on the field and seeing if they can do better. 4.8 ypt is a very low bar to clear.

he started off slow as the entire team does, came on later as the season went on. I don't think he's here next season

I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s stinking it up. He just hasn’t made a lot of plays. He’s off to a real slow start. If Flournoy had shown anything he would have been given an opportunity before this. He’s behind Tolbert and Brooks. Cooks is still a speed threat and we don’t have a lot of speed at WR. He has to be accounted for.

4.8 YPT?
That's stinky for a WR. A WR under 7 isn't earning his snaps. His previous worst season was 7.5. And he was here last year. With Dak.
Lowest of the other WRs this year is 6.9.

The problem isn't lack of targets., The stat is Yards *Per Target*. He's hasn't been producing with the targets he's gotten.

Most likely Cooks has been hampered by the knee and can do better if they can fix the knee up, but I wouldn't think should be so complicated.

Maybe you consider that stinking it up. I consider it a slow start. Once you get past CeeDee no one has looked great. Even CeeDee has had his bumps this season. He only has one more TD than Cooks, despite a lot more catches and yards. No telling how long the knee has been bothering Cooks. We’ll see if the younger receivers step up tomorrow. This is a great opportunity for them.

B

Our window closes this off season

Been closed

 

[quickccc]

I didn't expect him back until after the bye.

Do the Cowboys bring in WR help?

They lost 2 DE's and only signed a PS player.

Even when cooks returns, I don't expect him to be at full strength again with that problematic knee.

In short, I think this is his last year here with the cowboys.

I think they will see how tolbert, brooks and flourney group works out and then seek an added option per trade, or practice squad.

There really isn't anyone of key value on the streets as a free agent as of now.

 

[Rockport]

We only have 1 legit WR (CeeDee). Most of the best passing teams have 2. Cowboys need another legit WR.

We’ll find out soon enough. I’m looking forward to see how Flournoy will do. Cooks is cooked and can’t get open.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Hey, whatever happened to “holding Dak accountable if he doesnt sign at 50 million” LOL

I have. I don't agree with Dak's greediness at all, but I still support his play when he's out there battling to try to help the team win. You got a better idea?

 

[jwitten82]

He went back on his word. Smh

 

[Bagman]

This situation SCREAMS "go and trade for Amari Cooper". He can be had very cheap in both cost and compensation. He has amazing chemistry and history with our QB. He's still one of the best route runners in the league. We're "familiar" with him. Everything is a perfect with this except our egotistical, stubborn and vindictive owner/GM. He felt betrayed by Cooper for getting sick during the pandemic and just won't forgive him. Period. JJ is putting his ego before the team. What an immature 81 yr old man. But.....it's his toy and he'll play with it however he wants.

 

[Floatyworm]

Oh boy.....2,3 or 4?
Maybe not back until after the bye week
Call Gallup Stephen.....

He's done......

We are starting to scapegoat already. It's gonna get real ugly this season.......

Add one more to the Prescott body count...

Terrance Williams
Dez
Beasley
Amari Cooper
Cedrick Wilson Jr
Tavon Austin
Micheal Gallup
Brandon Cooks

#4 sure is racking up quite the bill.....@ what point does this front office realize #4 is actually the problem?

This makes no sense at all Floaty, even by your standards (lol)

 

[Cowboys93]

Wonder if Dallas would make a call for Doubs now that he’s in the dog house. He would instantly be WR2

 

[rambo2]

You can’t be serious. They have the worst run game in the league. You literally said in another thread they made a mistake not signing Henry.

They are 2 and 2 and their running backs haven't cost them any games and Rico had a 20 yard td in the game they won last week. They certainly made a mistake in not getting Henry.

You don’t think their inability to run has costed them games?

Do you understand football at all ?

Wouldn't hurt for Turpin to show up as well.
