I'm just talking about long speed.

There were three college players running stride for stride with him in that clip.

I don't think he can run away from NFL DBs.

Watch it again.  They were ahead of him and they took a good angle and caught him.

 

If they were even with him Cook would have left them in the dust.

 

And let's not forget that 90% of Alabamas defense goes to the pros.

he brings another dimension to Bills offense , once they work him up and into the game.
 Not sure how they keep 3 next year , but that's worry for next year 

 will be fun to watch how Dorsey integrates his skill set as the season progresses

 Go Bills

Would’ve been a 67 yard house call if Farley wasn’t a freak athlete

The teenager in me loved when Levy said “he ripped off a long one”.

I thought Cook looked much better today and had a few nice plays.

He's a 2nd round pick. He should have more than 2-3 good plays (vs about 5 bad ones). Every time he touches the ball I hold my breath, and not because he might do something good

Then the coaching staff should get him more touches instead of Mr. 1.8 Yards Per Carry.

looked better today but was fresh when everyone was gassed.  I'm more optimistic tho.

Hasn’t impressed me yet

1 pick away from a 3rd round pick. He’s also a rookie. Every time? You must be a hoot to watch a game with.

He needs to get comfortable, god we have no patience 😂. He started to look better in the 2nd half. He needs reps, and time on task, I believe he’ll be a contributor the 2nd half of the season.

[Sweats]

Well, his first ever play in the NFL was a fumblina, so......

Same, but it’s early. Given where he was drafted though, I expected better.

Love that movie, holds up so well today, also is a surprisingly good movie/story despite being about Giant Turtles.

I just found out that it's supposed to be a Daredevil parody lol. The ooze is what blinds Murdock and Splinter is a twist on Stick.

He impressed me today only in that RB was the only position where I didn't feel like we were gonna run out of bodies to put on the field.

[BigAl2526]

Obviously, we need to see a lot more from Cook.  Part of the problem today was the patchwork offensive line, but that excuse is going to wear thin pretty quickly.

They might have taken some inspiration from the Daredevil comic but can't really be a parody if none of them are blind, also the comic was much darker not really a comedy.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Hard to tell anything with blocking line that today.

According to Eastman that's how it started. They wrote it as the origins being the same event and some of the characters are parodies. After the container hits Matt it then strikes a bystander holding a fish tank of turtles. Eastman and Laird talked about how crazy the premise was, but it worked/works.

He is coming along nicely...he was lining up as a WR in the 4th quarter as the Bills were seriously down to him, Quentin Morris and Reggie Gilliam for their WR packages.

Yeah, that was an amazing stretch there.  The fact that Josh was able to move those guys down the field (behind that line) was a minor miracle.
