BillsFanForever19 Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I don't doubt we made a "due diligence" call on CMC. But I kind of question whether or not we made an offer. Seems kind of like a game of telephone to me. There's been reports over the past couple days we called. I think outlets like Sirius XM are taking that story and running with it that we made an offer. Even if we did, I'm sure it wasn't much. Probably a 3rd while wanting them to take on some salary of his large contract. The fact that we were in on J.D. McKissic as quickly as we were and then transitioned to James Cook says to me that the talks weren't all that serious. 5 minutes ago, Rico said: https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/1-nfl-team-offered-trade-for-christian-mccaffrey-fans-react Case in point, this is an article saying we made an offer. But the sources they're quoting to form the article all just said we called on him. Calling about a player doesn't denote a formal offer. Edited May 12, 2022 by BillsFanForever19 1 1 Quote

I guess we want to run this play as no one can really cover it now…. A LB can cover Cook is my impression. If you have this match up what a defense chooses to do to stop it should open up other things. This offense, with Cook on the field, ought to be pretty similar to what we ran wih end we had the Thurmanator…. If the defense stays big we pass to Cook or whomever, if they try to matchup in the pass game, we run it to Cook. Let our OL have some fun. It looks like KD wants to be even more matchup happy than Daboll…. And moreso, I think we want to use Allen as a runner less… We’ll use him a blocker instead…. 😃 1 1 Quote

Creating mismatches is what the nfl is all about imo. Cook is the ultimate mismatch maker. His route running is so smooth. Diggs will teach him some of his some tricks. LBers be like 😱 If it’s 1 on 1 with a Lb, spread him out wide and let him go to work. Quote
