I drafted Cook becasue I think he’ll be worth where I drafted him.
You might be right. Just hearing from people who are actually at the practices and camp, saying he has really shocked them and is the back they thought he'd be last year. But yes it's going to be an absolute mess and one I don't think I personally want to touch. Moss might be worth an 18th round flier though and I really do think he has the major potential to cap the upside of the other 2 RBS.
They've also been keeping Singletary on ice, and he looked really good in his limited action. He only played one series in their intra-squad scrimmage a couple weeks ago. He didn't play last week. He only played 2 series today. I think that is a pretty good indicator that they see him as the clear #1 right now. I'm pretty certain he's played less live snaps than Diggs this pre-season.
Even broke a few tackles and generally fell forward.
He was also playing with the second & third team, not just against them.
Yep, very true. The blocking was fair. I mean I guess Cook is a 2nd stringer himself at this point so it's a totally even playing field. Will he look so quick and strong against starting defenses, I don't know. First viewing though is that Cook is a player.
Yeah terrible way to start. Although it happened with Hunt on opening Thursday Night also who went on to a huge night. That’s not happening here.
Thought of Hunt immediately as well, unfortunately as you know Cook is in rotation hell. Bummer for those hoping he would have an immediate impact. Hopefully he is resilient and earn the trust off a coach who seems to favor making rookies earn it first.
Yeah I was surprised to see Moss get so much run - as you said comparing him to Singletary it looked like Moss was running in mud.
I thought he played for Georgia
At least you had the right part of the country.
Yep. Moss looked terrible compared to Singletary. Cook needs time to become a professional. He'll get there.
Probably depends how deep the benches are in your league. He is a running back on the best team in the NFL.
That's part of it for me. He currently has two guys to get past on the depth chart. Plus a QB that runs and vultures rushing touchdowns.
thats what happened to Singletary last year. I held him all year waiting for him and then I dealt him and the next week he starting killing it. To me it all depends on who you are going to pick up. If you are in a jam and you have to do something that’s one thing but most of the guys on the wire aren‘t that attractive (at least in the leagues I’m in).
Because he doesn't run with cement in his shoes?
6 touches? I mean I hope he starts to ascend, but this seems like very little to go on.
Yeah two guys I have a lot of as well. Easy to see the signs that they could be a Tony Pollard to their team's Zeke down the stretch.
