I ask again, who do you take off the field? The way it worked out they had a rookie who they didn’t fully trust. When Hines arrived Cook was starting to get more work and play with confidence. Do you bench Cook? No. They were kind of stuck. Hines was likely more of a future trade when it happened. Knowing Singletary was walking. Trying to get Moss carries to raise his value also was a problem.
A lot of personnel decisions on offense didn’t go as planned. RB and WR definitely didn’t go as planned.
