Nah. If he had a lingering injury they wouldnt be using him on designed runs like that. Its a mixture of a bunch of stuff. Josh not trusting his guys. His guys suck. Brady maybe not having that great of a passing design. They seem to like 2 yard passes. Etc.
McD has driven the dog out of him. He has said 3 times this season that they went into the season with no expectations anymore. No more superbowl or bust. Just play football.
Watching that replay breakdown. I dont think Josh trusted the blitz being picked up there. Not making excuses. Just saying thats what it looked like to me.
I mean I agree its not even close with Cook off the field. Just saying, Cook got that run the same way that other teams have gashed us... good blocking up front and no one at the second level to even attempt a tackle.
