BananaB Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Until he starts doing more with little opportunities I don’t see this changing much. Nice run for the kid but he’s been far from impressive so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is up and the end of the year and I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to say they drafted Cook to “complement” him as he’ll be somewhere else but not here.

Milanos Milano Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I’d love to have a RB that could have 100 yards receiving and nearly another 100 on the ground while splitting carries. Oh wait, we had that chance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Bills fans sitting here arguing about what running back on the roster could do what James Cook did on that run. But regardless if your favorite back is Devin Singletary or Zack Moss, the facts are that neither run for 24-yard Touchdowns that often. So start with getting ineffective Zack Moss off the field and give his reps to James Cook. No Bills RB is getting 15-20 rushing attempts anyways.

Im not saying he will be resigned, that is a completely different conversation (this one is supposed to be about whether Devin could make that same TD run or not). But Cook was brought in to be a complimentary RB, not a feature RB. Whether it is to Devin or to someone else, he wasn't drafted with the intent on being a featured 3 down RB. Just like how they went after McKissick first and then signed Duke when that fell apart. Cook may at some point prove he can be a feature runner, but that will be a bonus, not the point of why he was drafted. I mean even Beane talked about what they were looking for with Cook, a guy who can be that receiving weapon out of the backfield after McKissick decided to reup with Washington instead. But more importantly, none of that has anything to do with the conversation of the false narrative that Devin was too slow to make that same TD run, which is what he was replying about in the first place.

I agree with this. At Georgia, Cook was a complimentary back. His Scouting Report coming into the NFL was a change of pace back, unlikely to see his “carry count get very high” due to his thinner lower half. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/james-cook/3200434f-4f15-1970-d2e5-e575c819187c 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad he got some touches and confidence. And instead of following the blockers he ran to the hole they created by design. Moss in particular follows the blockers too often instead of to where the play was designed to be run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. I will concede. I don’t think Singletary is too slow to make that play yesterday. But I do question his ability to actually find the right hole or make the right cut to actually have a chance to outrun the defenders in the play. fyi I didn’t watch your video. I’ve seen every Singletary play he’s ever made. I have no doubts he has the physical abilities to be a good RB. I just question his instincts and football intelligence when it comes to running the football. Every player has some good plays. They are in the nfl after all. I feel like his good plays are few and far between (1 a game at most) and his average plays need to be more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully a confidence boost for Cook and the first of many. I'm not so sure, Moss got tackled by the wind yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely in part because he looked like the best pass blocking RB in his draft class. He was stonewalling DEs and dumping blitzers in college.

MarkyMannn Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Cook needed that run for his confidence boost. Cook needed that run to boost the confidence of McD & Dorsey in him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, but this point doesn't make a lot of sense. Callers on the pregame show were talking about hopefully the Bills are in a blowout situation, so then they can give James Cook the football and "get his confidence going". Why is it necessary to wait until the 4th Quarter to mix in James Cook? If the Bills started the game with a James Cook run, what would happen. First play, hand off to James Cook for 3-yards. We are overthinking this a lot. He can carry the ball in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarters. He's not some 4th Quarter blowout closer only. 1 hour ago, FireChans said: Why was Zack Miss lol drafted?
