Beerball Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Anyone have any insights on Conner Cook? I find it interesting, and not in a good way, that while he's a 3 year starter, he was never named a team captain.
Pete Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Or I could see Myles Jack. Right now I am hoping for Myles Jack or Su'a Cravens. Let's get this defense back to top notch!
YoloinOhio Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Anyone have any insights on Conner Cook? I find it interesting, and not in a good way, that while he's a 3 year starter, he was never named a team captain.there has been a few leaks that his teammates don't like him and he's a d-bag in general. Coupled with how bad he looked vs Iowa and he didn't play against OSU, His stock is dropping to the point where IMO he needs to look the part vs Bama or he won't go in the 1st. I actually thought he looked better last year. But his lack of poise (called a MSU reporter a d-bag when he asked him a reasonable question about his shoulder) and poor decision making at times on the field has not helped. There is a lot to like, but red flags for sure. Edited December 18, 2015 by YoloinOhio
LeGOATski Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Connor Cook does great interviews. Listen to his phone call with Dan Patrick. So much different than how EJ sounded in his. And I only mention him because he's my best point of reference. He's definitely a confident/cocky kid and I think it gets the better of him sometimes. He's talked about how much he loves his team and calls them his brothers. There doesn't seem to be any ill will there, at least on his end. I think he's perfect for Roman's offense, actually. And the Bills could develop him properly behind Tyrod.

There is a lot to like, but red flags for sure. your sweating too hard about this, you've liked him for two yrs, no need to bail now, Winston's college issues where much worse than Cook's. Yeah he looked sharper last yr but he had better weapons that yr as well. He will be fine here. Edited December 18, 2015 by Buffalo Barbarian

He will be fine here. just think there was something missing from his game his whole senior year - can't figure out what it was. He could have used more weapons, yes. I will be interested to see how he looks vs Bama - it will be a nice test. Edited December 18, 2015 by YoloinOhio

I mean, he isn't wrong. But a little self-awareness wouldn't hurt him. Edited December 18, 2015 by Cleveland Rocks?
Beerball Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 you been hangin with 4merper4er?Sorry, but it is a valid question/concern. His teammates don't need to like him, but, they should respect him. I question whether he has their respect when he was never voted a team captain. He better hope that whatever team that drafts him doesn't have a Troy Vincent on the roster.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 just think there was something missing from his game his whole senior year - can't figure out what it was. He could have used more weapons, yes. I will be interested to see how he looks vs Bama - it will be a nice test. Also he was injured during the Iowa game which didn't help but he did lead that 9:00 min drive with multiple 4rth down conversions to win the game. You never now how a guy will do but I would take my chances on him. If this team doesn't draft a QB because they feel good about Taylor I'm gona lose my mind Sorry, but it is a valid question/concern. His teammates don't need to like him, but, they should respect him. I question whether he has their respect when he was never voted a team captain. He better hope that whatever team that drafts him doesn't have a Troy Vincent on the roster. Why a troy Vincent? Cook is from Cleveland (Hinckley) and has allegedly said he hopes the Browns don't draft him because it is "where quarterbacks go to die." I mean, he isn't wrong. But a little self-awareness wouldn't hurt him. Sounds very self aware
Blokestradamus Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Temple WR Robby Anderson is a bit special. 6' 3", 190 pounds. Supposedly has 4.5 speed, 44" vertical. Precise route runner, great hands in traffic. Gave William Jackson, one of the better CFB cover corners, a hell of a game. Blocked him into the bench as well. Missed 2014 due to academic reasons but if you're looking for a taller target to add something to the offense at what I'd imagine to be a relatively cheap investment, he might be your guy.

YoloinOhio Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I'm watching the Celebration Bowl (yes I'm a football junkie) and Tarik Cohen from NC A&T is a guy who would be a very nice choice later in the draft for a team like the Bills. He's the 2 time MEAC offensive POY and had 166 yards in the first quartet (!) of this game. Small school guy but look at Thomas Rawls. He can also do a 1-handed catch while doing a backflip Tarik Cohen is on campus doing the good ol' one-handed backflip catch.

Saw him this time last year and it's like a (very small) man against boys.

I mean, he isn't wrong. But a little self-awareness wouldn't hurt him.He is going to have a chance to prove himself on New Years Eve. Let's see how he holds up against the Crimson Tide.
