Cook fastest ball carrier of week 13

[Maine-iac]

Late to the game with this but caught it looking through some next gen stats stuff.  Cook had the fastest carry of the week and is 7th overall for the season.  I knew he was fast but it's still pretty impressive especially in the snow.

Ty Johnson placed top 5 last week against the Rams.

Very impressive with Cook running in a heavy snowfall and on a slick track.

 

That guys seems faster with the ball in his hands... a true home run hitter... one of 2 the Bills have at RB... and Ray Davis can break long gains too.

 

I love the speed of our RBs.

 

I'd love to get a hammer next year to run behind this big O-line.

Exactly, reaching that speed in the snow seems pretty amazing to me.  Beiing on a list with Nico Collins and KaVonte Turpin also seems pretty impressive.  He reminds me of Spiller when Gailey was using him correctly.

Wait, James Cook didn't average 21.85 mph on the entire carry? You don't say.

You don't have to be Einstein to figure that out, but just in case Einstein will remind you.

I’m guessing it was the

touchdown run.  Field was in better shape on his path because during breaks our grounds crew was, shall we say, a bit more liberal in how much area it cleared along the sideline when we had the ball.

Video is linked.  Gives you two angles.  The one from the backfield is pretty good.  He was in the snow for 95 percent of the run.  Got to the sideline for a second or two at the end.  Totally unofficial but watching the run I'd have to bet he was still running in the snow when he reached top speed.
