You're right.  That was a special performance.   And no, Thurman didn't run like that.   

 

Cook's not OJ, because OJ was a threat to do it every week.  Still, that was special.

I’m too full of pizza to care to look it up, but I don’t recall OJ being much of a receiving threat, is my memory going?

A side note to the game for sure , but whoever chose the music for the commercial transitions for todays telecast on Fox gets an A+ from me. It was great the whole game. 

Expand  

That’s by far the biggest and maybe only plus from games on fox.

OJ struggled until Saban came hereI

And your point is, what?  Cook struggled until Brady took over?

Let me guess: they’re claiming they “shut him down and held him to only 92 yards passing” while they got run over all day long lol

No, they call him one of their 5 most hated players in the NFL for cheating/flopping.

Geeze.

Hopefully they have Hankins back at DT. 
 

Also, Dallas isn’t “that” bad on run defense.  We just brutalized them. 
 

Miami’s OL isn’t as good as ours and Dallas doesn’t have to account for Tua read option runs. 
 

Miami home field isn’t Buffalo and hopefully Dallas Offense shows up.

Looking at the Cowboys' website, they are hopeful Zack Martin will play next week.

Are people having trouble tonight following the conversation?  OldMan said the Bills haven't had a running performance like that since OJ.  Running.  What difference does it OJ's receiving make in a conversation about Cook's running. 

 

But, if you want to have a conversation about OJ's receiving ability, he was an excellent receiver.  He was a receiver before he became a running back, and as a receiver with the Bills, he was excellent.  He wasn't targeted as often as Thurman, but his yards per reception were better than Thurman's.  His touchdown production as a receiver was better, on a percentage basis, than Thurman's  

 

Great as Thurman was, put OJ in the K-gun and the Bills might have won four Super Bowls in a row.

I have to say, so many times over the McD era we’ve been bullied in tough matchups but geeze we laid the wood today. We dominated the LOS in ways OL and DL coaches only fantasize about. 
 

McD and the coaching staff deserve so much credit for keeping this team focused despite all the nonsense surrounding them this year; not to mention half our defense is on IR.

He was fine as a receiver, but simply wasn’t utilized as such very often. Most of the great running backs in that era weren’t really utilized as such. He had a decent YPR average when he was here though. Better than Thurman’s for what it’s worth.

 

I find these comparisons absurd though. OJ was a legit threat to score from anywhere on the field on every play. If TT had OJ’s world class speed, he would have been, too. But he didn’t and that’s why we never thought TT was gonna break off 80 yard runs with regularity. Whereas we always had that feeling with OJ. You literally felt it in your gut on every run.

OJ’s highlight reel is jaw-dropping.  He had size, speed, and he could cut on a dime.  Thurman ran lower to the ground and made himself skinny to get through tackles.  They both could catch and neither of them ever seemed to get hit hard.  
 

I loved them both when they were here.  Hopefully Cook will add his name to that list.

I am legit worried now that Miami is going to steamroll Dallas too. Dallas almost has to play a light box against Miami if Hill plays. And if they couldn’t stop our running game, they aren’t going to stop the dolphins’ running game.

Dallas should be all healed up from whatever bug they had this week.
