James Cook #2 in Rushing after Tonight's game

[Silvercrw]

If you look at the numbers James Cook has 697 yards on the year 2nd to only Christian McCaffrey. Crazy because I would've never expected that.

I assume part of that is our very late BYE week, but it is indeed shocking to see a Bills running back in the top 32, much less the top 2.

Glide as I call him, has been great this year.  It's why I'm pissed he hasn't been utilized more by Dorsey. 

 

The kid is sneaky good.  Doesn't look like he's moving but he continues to pick up chunk yards.

Wow rushing stats are wayyy down in the NFL. That would put the league leader in the 1200 yard range.

[BuffaloRebound]

Cook was fantastic today.  He made Quincy Williams and CJ Moseley look really slow.

Lot of RBBC. Lot of starters missing a few games here and there. Lots of guys who were mainstays in the top of the RB list getting older. And Arthur Smith submarining Robinson's rookie year. If the Colts didn't bring back Taylor and kept feeding Moss I think he may be leading the NFL right now.

I would actually expect his usage to grow, particularly in the pass game, over the next few weeks.  We have to find a way to win at least 3 of the next 4 to stay in this, though.  Going to be a tough road.

It looks like Dorsey didn’t know how to use most of his available weapons, sad really, 

 

GO BILLS!,,

I would love to see Cook become the all purpose back they drafted him to be. Could definitely still be used more in the passing game but he's closing in on a 1,000 all purpose yards and should easily eclipse that this season. Just remember, the K-Gun was powered by Thurman Thomas for those of you getting nostalgic.

Agree.  He doesn’t seem to move the pile, but somehow gets extra yards after initial contact.

[Warcodered]

Imagine what he'd have if he didn't fumble the first run against Denver and get sent into exile for a portion of the game.

[NewEra]

I think he’s the ideal type lead the back for a Josh allen Lee offense.  Just need to get him more involved in the run game.  His improvement has stood out to my eyes.  
 

funny there was a thread claiming cool can break tackles and has zero physicality.  Psssshhhhhya

[Charles Romes]

Credit to Brady for asserting him as the trusted 1 tonight 

[Aussie Joe]

He is better than I thought he was going to be ..
 

Hope he gets more opportunities..

Also credit to Brady for getting them all involved.

He’s been great. Rushing and receiving. 

[Punch]

He's actually 3rd with 688 yards, only 3 yards behind Mostert and 137 behind McCaffrey.

 

Still impressive, although I think it speaks more to the modern NFL relying on committee backfields and generally handing off less. He's on pace for 1,077 rushing yards through 17 games.

 

Regardless, I hope his usage increases.

[buffaloboyinATL]

Just imagine where he’d be if he wasn’t stuck on the bench against the Broncos.  
 

I love him as our feature back. 

[Big Turk]

Another surprise?  

 

The Bills D is now 4th in scoring in the NFL and is allowing fewer points per game and yards per game than the D last year that was ranked 1st or 2nd.

 

Even with all the defensive injuries, this team is still extremely good on D...seems kinda crazy a top 5 scoring D and top 7 scoring O is only 6-5.

Singleterry has two back to back 100 yard games, too
