ngbills Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 This is nothing about Cook's potential but what and who is helping us now. I hear how Cook needs more touches, Cook has elite speed, Cook has receiver like ability. I dont see any of that yet. Drops, bad routes, bad reads on runs, slow side to side. The offense seems most efficient when Singletary is getting involved. Lets stop experimenting with Cook if he is not ready for primetime. Go with Singletary and Hines. Singletary had been solid when he is not forgotten by Dorsey. Bring Cook in once we have a big lead. But the on and off the field with these guys seems to create stalls in the O. 1 9 1 Quote
Beast Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 I’d like to see some more of Hines. Wasn’t he supposed to add something to our offense? 5 1 Quote
Simon Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 It's not even close; Singletary is the guy by a mile The question should be Cook or Hines backing him up. 7 1 8 4 Quote
Chandler#81 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Just now, Beast said: I’d like to see some more of Hines. Wasn’t he supposed to add something to our offense? That’s on McDermott. Hines is a polished professional and was ready to go immediately. But McD doesn’t play it that way with noobs on his team. Hines will get there. He’s a great addition to the team. Just watch. 2 1 2 Quote
John from Riverside Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 I’m really starting to think that Hines is being brought in to be that special teams guy that we didn’t have that returner that could make a difference The way our offense works how in the world do we get enough reps for both Cook and Hines if motor gets the 15 to 18 touches that he should get 1 Quote
SCBills Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 I’ve been high on Cook, but man .. he was brutal today in the pass game. Singletary is definitely the reliable one right now. No clue what the plan is with Hines. 1 2 Quote
Buffalo716 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) It’s very easy to see why Hines Has not been a big part of the offense… No matter what coach speak is used He now has immense value as our kick returner punt returner number one… Steady with the potential to flip field position instantly Punt returner and kick returner is the most dangerous position in football… We are not trying to double or triple his duties yet He’s going to be a secret weapon in the playoffs… There’s not gonna be a lot of tape on him in the Bills offense because we are limiting him If he gets hurt we lose our starting return specialist and we’re down to two running backs… He’s clearly Not gonna be overused Edited November 25, 2022 by Buffalo716 3 2 Quote
Big C Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 I fully expect by the stretch run Motor will retain 80+% of the snaps. Cook gave us some juice last week, but he still needs some coaching. 1 Quote
gonzo1105 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Singletary. I wish they would find ways to get him more touches in general. Seems he gets going then they completely go away from him 1 Quote
freddyjj Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Lol. Cook dropped that pass on the sidelines right in front of McDermott who pulled him and iced him on the bench for rest of the game. Edited November 25, 2022 by freddyjj Quote
JoshAllin Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Hines has proven explosiveness in the pass game from Indy so maybe they might unleash him during the afc east opps run Quote
CEN-CAL17 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) They get different play calls…. Cook today got 2 carries. Both Toss Left. I watched Cook for 3 years at Georgia. Georgia ran him between the tackles, Buffalo doesn’t and they need to. He’s a north south runner but Buffalo wants him running outside. Don’t know why. But he needs to be getting 5-6 runs between the tackles, eventually he will burst for 30-40 yds. Put it this way, some of those runs Singletary gets up the middle for 15-20 yards…. Cook has the potential to take those to the house. The Pittsburgh game TD, last week he had a long run up the gut. But you can guarantee he’s getting a Toss Left. 2x this game and I’m pretty sure every game thus far he’s had a Toss left. Try him on a fly sweep!!! Edited November 25, 2022 by CEN-CAL17 5 Quote

He also almost caused us an interception by stopping his route in the middle of the field. 1 2 Quote
The Jokeman Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Now Singletary as Cook still learning. Cook might offer more upside but 5hink Motor doesn't offer as much as a low floor. Quote
JY422 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Not even a close race. Singletary needs to get the Christian McCaffery treatment from a few years back with the Panthers. he doesn’t come off the field unless he needs a breather or is injured. I'm not in any way saying Singletary is close to the back CMac is but he IS the perfect back for Dorsey, Allen and this offense. 1 Quote
zow2 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 I’d like to see Cook break a tackle or two. He gets touched and boom, he’s down. 2 Quote

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Cook just seems like he has big play written all over him. He's a rookie, who hasn't played much, so you're going to get some missed plays and some bad ones, but that's what getting game time experience is for. I would like to see Cook get about 50% of the workload, Singletary 35% and now Hines has been here for almost a month start sprinkling him in some also(15%). 1 Quote
