gobills404 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 ITT: A lot of people pretending that Singletary doesn’t also have a fumble and multiple drops on the year. 1 Quote

Cook has been overwhelming so far but I truly have high expectations for him. English your 2nd language? 8 hours ago, HurlyBurly51 said: How many drives should he be allowed to kill with his drops? As many as Zach Moss 1 Quote
Meatloaf63 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 8 hours ago, HurlyBurly51 said: They all have proven track records, Cook does not. He needs to make that catch when given the opportunity, and then he’ll get more chances. He needs to become a weapon and productive player as other options are gone from injury. What’s Moss’s track record besides averaging 1yard on 1st down carries? Holding back this rookie is not in the best interest of the team. Benching a player on a rainy day where even your best receiver had drops is poor planning from the coaching staff. 1 Quote
Royale with Cheese Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 I think this is a game where you get him involved. The Steelers just aren't good. He needs to get his confidence back. Quote

Would have cost a 2nd maybe in 2023. And this year's 2nd. Absolutely. I would have easily made moves to secure Hall. Pretty sad when a 5th round pick Shakir is playing better than Cook. Quote

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Seen about enough of Moss, so I would like to see few more reps for Cook and activation of Duke to see what he can do. Seems Moss does not have enough vision, quickness or speed. He is supposed to be a hammer, but he does not seem to excel in picking up short yardage. Activate Duke for a couple games and see if he can bring some juice, get Cook a little more involved too. 1 1 Quote

I want Cook to be "the guy" but he's clearly not ready. The NFL game looks to big and fast for him. The Bills are in win it all mode. I think Cook doesn't advance us in this category. Moss just is not the answer. I think he's replaceable. Duke has experience and can catch the ball out of the backfield. I think he might be the second best back the Bills have. Sure he's not great but I think he can contribute more than Cook and Moss. Edited October 4, 2022 by newcam2012 1 2 Quote
Green Lightning Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 With all the WR injuries and pressure packages they are bringing against Josh, it's time to get Cook the ball in space and make DCs account for his speed. Screens and slants to him are what we could use right now. If my option is a Moss three and out series, I'll opt for Cook's ceiling and speed. Quote

It's good for fantasy though - he gets targets meaning PPR. However, he's a running back securing 55% of targets, where 90% of them occur at the LOS. He has 5 recorded drops in 4 games, and also lost a fumble. Let's not act like we wouldn't be frustrated as hell with all of that. I'm sure he's played fine - just not sure he is the answer to all that ails this team. Edited October 4, 2022 by Bleeding Bills Blue Quote

ChicagoRic Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 I just want to see some ENERGY outta the guy. He reminds me of my orange cat, Cooper, who expends no more energy than is absolutely needed. Slow to the huddle. Slow to the sidelines. His longer stride looks.....slow. Maybe it's deceptive. My orange cat can really motor......when it wants to. But it really really has to want to. If riding the pine does not light a fire under this guy, maybe a ton of reps will? What will motivate this guy to start playing like he did in college? Quote

Pabstblueribbon Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 With no Hyde, Crowder, and possibly McKenzie I wouldn't be shocked if Duke is activated for returns alone. Might see a meltdown here if they activate Duke and bench Cook instead of Moss this week lol Quote
