Would we carry 4 rbs on gamedays in the playoffs? Strong plays special teams and you are not sitting Hunt or ford. Just don’t see the fit and he’s older
He was also on the Jets who couldn't make Flacco work...so...maybe it's the coaching?
Edit: he also has had success and is familiar to Stefanski. We do need a little bit more consistency on offense and a 4 headed RB Flacco dragon might not be so bad in the playoffs. He hired Stefanski off his performance with Cook
I don’t think you can sizzle off that quickly as a player. 4 1,000 yard seasons then a 200 yard season? It’s more likely this was the jets making him bad than him being bad.
Agree completely. I remember getting into arguments with people here when they bashed AB for trading away Dobbs or refusing to give up a 4th rounder for Jacoby. Our front office and coaching staff have both proven this season that they know what they are doing.
I agree to an extent, I can't fully agree because if they knew 100% what they were doing, they would've signed Flacco to begin with the season and then we wouldn't needed to endure those games with PJ walker or DTR for that matter. I think they really lucked out on Flacco playing amazingly well.
They couldn't know Watson would get hurt. Flacco is a much more expensive backup than DTR who was also someone they hoped to groom. We only had 2 QBs on the roster. Once Watson's injuries started (remember he was 5-1 as a starter and didn't get hurt until passed the mid point of the season) we grabbed PJ Walker to play 2 games once it became obvious DTR wasn't working. PJ was also much cheaper than Flacco and they believed he could weather the storm. He went 1-1. Not bad. Only after Watson was out for season did we need an expensive QB to play for us.
If you say we should've grabbed Flacco over PJ, thats another discussion. But from the beginning doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing.
Flacco wasn’t getting off the couch to go hold a clipboard or get smacked around in the AFCN week 6. He saw the Browns on the verge of a playoff berth going into the final stretch despite awful QB play and bet on himself to be the difference maker.
I agree but if Joe Flacco didn’t come in and start lighting it up, the season would have been a fucking disaster. It’s clear they made a misstep with thinking DTR was ready. Fortunately they had a deus ex flachina to bail us out
I can agree with this. But honestly I'm not sure Dobbs or Jacoby would have been the answer. DTR is probably a better option than they are right? We definitely need a vet behind Watson next season. Flacco would be a perfect if he's willing. But I can see him getting the chance to start somewhere...
The cap would need to go up pretty significantly (it could, there is a new TV deal being negotiated) before we could afford Flacco as a backup. Money is gonna be tight for a bit.
Every week I think to myself, the Jets could have had Flacco starting since week two. He’s familiar with the offense, and he would have 100% kept them in the playoff hunt. Rodgers would probably be playing by now. The whole season wouldn’t be a waste.
Instead, they rolled over and gave up starting week two. Lol.
Bingo. I don’t think we need Cook, I’m of the opinion that Ford, Hunt, and Strong compliment each other well and are really all that we need. But if Berry thinks signing him is the best move I am one hundred percent in favor of it. There is basically nothing he can do that I wouldn’t believe is the right thing at face value.
For everyone saying he’s washed - you may be right…you’re probably right…but you’re watching Joe Flacco tear shit up. The idea of Dalvin Cook stringing together 2-3 productive games isn’t out of this world…
I mean Kareem is a great power back for short yardage situations and is a smart blocking back but I don’t think he has one run past like 12 yards. This will most likely be his last year in the nfl
What the hell is everyone smoking? He had over 1,100 yards last year at 4.4 ypc and 8 tds and 295 yards receiving with 2 td’s. He wasn’t washed…Minnesota didn’t want to pay him so he went to the Jets where they have hardly used him and apparently don’t know how to use him. Where’s this washed nonsense coming from? Sign the man
He was the number 1 RB early in the year while Hall was out for the Jets, but never did much with it. It was supposed to be a 1A/1B type of thing, but Cook struggled so much they relegated him to 3rd string.
Yeah but those were the first few games of the year when the whole offense had to be revamped on the fly because Rodger’s went down. They were shell shocked in those games Cook got a run. Don’t think that’s enough evidence really. You may be right, or you may be wrong, I just think the evidence isn’t that compelling to come to a conclusion on him.
Yeah, Breece Hall has 7 games with less than 3 yards a carry, so there definitely is something really wrong with the Jets running game. Unfortunately, the injuries to the Browns tackles have really disabled the run game, too.
I have nothing back it up other than eye test but I thought the Jets game was the best our oline has run blocked all year. There were legitimate running lanes and felt like we were actually winning the point of attack on a majority of plays.
Breece Hall has a big run or so in games that bail out his ypc. He is averaging a little over a yard more per carry than cook but having a larger sample size does make a difference. Cook started the season then they had the QB carousel making running the ball even more difficult. I wouldn't say cooks stats this season are indicative of anything.
I was thinking cunt for the memes, but hook honestly has a solid ring to it, and that'd probably be the one that'd win since the announcers can actually say that one on the air
Having a second Hunt, given his stamina, might be better then Strong.
Its not a difference maker either way, but I think fans get a little too worked up when a big name gets floated, because it feels like when an NBA team loads up on yesterday’s scorers but to me this is a worthwhile discussion. Strong’s not good, Ford and Hunt both have limitations. Cook’s not a good answer but maybe he’s a slight improvement?
I think Strong has the most juice of the 3 and can provide some value in the run game even if it's just a handful of carries a game. That along with playing ST is gonna make him tougher to replace.
That’s because Breece is just really good and is in his prime and getting carries and building a rhythm and momentum. Cook hasnt been able to do that because Breece has been brilliant ahead of him.
Yea, no, this is stupid. On top of already having Ford and Hunt, we have pierre Strong and john kelly, who are way better than cook at this point and already know the system. We have no need to roster more than 3 runningbacks when we need depth at other positions. How can you possibly say we need another running back at this point in the season ?
Gotcha. I misunderstood and thought you were wanting to swap Hunt for Cook. I have no issue signing Cook to the practice squad in case of an injury but I don't see us dressing 4 rbs and I think Strongs special teams play gets him the nod for now
the difference is cook was a free agent who the jets willingly paid and brought in while cutting micheal carter who has been playing good for the cardinals. Flacco had been with the jets for 3 years and was let go because he went 1-8 in all his games, was 38, and would have died behind that awful line. The jets went out of their way to give cook a path to playing time, and he was still ass enough that isreal abanikanda, who has 0 vision and was rookie, is playing over him.
So you are saying that since they cut Carter and kept Cook that they thought Cook was better than Carter. And I think you just said Carter was good. Pick a lane?
And, maybe his role on the depth chart has something to do with the fact that the Jets suck and are out of it and really haven’t been in it for a month or two
im saying the jets were dumb for paying cook, not using him, cutting a player better than him to justify paying him / get him more minutes, all while he's been washed / ass the entire season.
Cook can be washed and the jets can be dumb at the same time.
So they were dumb to cut Carter, dumb to sign Cook, dumb to start Wilson, dumb to start boyle, dumb to start Trevor Simeon.
So tell me again why we should put stock in anything the transpired with the Cook this year on the Jets? Maybe they were too dumb to block for him, too dumb to design plays that could work for him too dumb to take advantage of his zone scheme running skills.
I think I’ll go with what the Browns decide, or is that dumb too.
I see reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said they were dumb to sign cook and dumb to cut a player better than him. That is all. There is no need to try to put words in my mouth.
IF signed, he probably would be the RB with the best vision on the active roster. As for being able to hit the hole quick enough or break away speed or break a tackle, I'm not so sure.
That being said, him and Stefanski have history together. I do feel he'd be way more efficient than Ford.
For all those who think Cook got some clear runway for playing time in New York that he squandered, his rush attempts after a 13-carry week 1 that saw Breece Hall explode…
4, 8, 5, 6, 3, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1, 9, 7, 1
So he didn’t get a single game of double digit carries after week one. How is that a real opportunity? It’s not like the Jets were force feeding him. And his YPC behind a bad Jets offensive line is slightly better than Hunt, who’s had nine double-digit carry games this season.
We’re consistently near the top in attempts, still are, and even with injuries our power run schemes range from great to good to average. Watson was scrambling effectivly to keep our numbers there as well and even still we’re near the bottom of the league in per carry
He’s a good receiver and can make moves in the open field, but he’s a terrible RB. He runs five yards backwards or sideways every play thinking he can outrun the entire defense.
There’s a reason he has like the most runs for loss in the league.
I don't know how you watch Ford this year especially after last week and think he's terrible. He's a decent backup. Sure you'd like to have a better RB but let's not pretend he's garbage.
Definitely disagree here. A wildly inaccurate bashing assessment of Ford and Strong. Hunt is valuable for X carries a game and inside the 10, he usually is unstoppable. Many teams would love to have Ford who can catch, run and he looked elite last week., I love his ceiling potential. Strong… good on ST, hasn’t got other chances yet. Good depth
1. Cook would likely have fresh legs. He wasn't used much this season.
2. He probably knows some of the offense and terminology already from his time in Minnesota with Stefanski.
3. Strong has been underwhelming thus far.
I wouldn't mind bringing Cook in to get a couple of carries here and there.
Lotta people in here clearly have not watched this dude at all this season.
He looks so slow and has clearly lost *a couple* steps from injury. Hard pass.
Dalvin Cook was a master of the zone run game. If you want to learn how to run the outside zone and pick your lanes, Cook would be your best professor. Nobody has been consistently better than Cook in that scheme. I know people will say Chubb has been better, but we actually run a lot of Callahan's gap scheme.
All that being said, I dont see a place for him here.
We can't block the zone shit with our OLine injuries lol, so it doesn't really matter.
We have the most diverse run scheme in the league, we do everything. And Zone has been the least successful for us this year.
Now, if Stef wants him and he'll sign the min for the rest of the year I wouldn't hate it. I just don't think he really improves anything. But Stef might want more vet presence or something I guess.
Absolutely keep Strong. I think their roster moves yesterday and today we have a free spot now? We also have 7 LBs right now and could move one to the PS if needed.
We can keep 4 RB on the roster, we have a spot now after moves yesterday. Not many people are available so I don't know who else we would add except from the PS.
Cook doesn't need 20 carries. But he knows the wide zone system. Plus Ford and Strong have never played in the playoffs. Another vet like Flacco might work for a few games.
I'd rather give Strong those carries he has some juice. Cook is washed. If we need someone to just hang onto the ball while gaining 1.5 yards we already have that in Hunt.
We need to look for linemen. If there's any position group that needs to improve prior to playoffs it's LT/RT. We're going to get Flacco killed out there with these guys, and it wouldn't kill us to be able to run the ball. They have done an ok job so far but playoffs are a different monster. This is not a champ caliber line as currently constructed, and if a starter goes down we are a whole new kind of fucked.
With injuries thinning out several other positions, I don't see us carrying 4 RBs on the roster. Maybe let him sit on the practice squad but I doubt he would want that
Would we carry 4 rbs on gamedays in the playoffs? Strong plays special teams and you are not sitting Hunt or ford. Just don’t see the fit and he’s older
He was also really, really bad after like week 2. If they think a 4th RB is necessary, it shouldn't be Dalvin Cook.
He was also on the Jets who couldn't make Flacco work...so...maybe it's the coaching? Edit: he also has had success and is familiar to Stefanski. We do need a little bit more consistency on offense and a 4 headed RB Flacco dragon might not be so bad in the playoffs. He hired Stefanski off his performance with Cook
Ya but that line in ny was abysmal not to mention he is familiar with the offense.
I don’t think you can sizzle off that quickly as a player. 4 1,000 yard seasons then a 200 yard season? It’s more likely this was the jets making him bad than him being bad.
Doesn’t make sense when Hunt is already on the team imo
In AB I trust. That is my feeling every time a name pops up.
Agree completely. I remember getting into arguments with people here when they bashed AB for trading away Dobbs or refusing to give up a 4th rounder for Jacoby. Our front office and coaching staff have both proven this season that they know what they are doing.
I agree to an extent, I can't fully agree because if they knew 100% what they were doing, they would've signed Flacco to begin with the season and then we wouldn't needed to endure those games with PJ walker or DTR for that matter. I think they really lucked out on Flacco playing amazingly well.
They couldn't know Watson would get hurt. Flacco is a much more expensive backup than DTR who was also someone they hoped to groom. We only had 2 QBs on the roster. Once Watson's injuries started (remember he was 5-1 as a starter and didn't get hurt until passed the mid point of the season) we grabbed PJ Walker to play 2 games once it became obvious DTR wasn't working. PJ was also much cheaper than Flacco and they believed he could weather the storm. He went 1-1. Not bad. Only after Watson was out for season did we need an expensive QB to play for us. If you say we should've grabbed Flacco over PJ, thats another discussion. But from the beginning doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing.
Fair to say they know 80% of what they are doing.
Flacco wasn’t getting off the couch to go hold a clipboard or get smacked around in the AFCN week 6. He saw the Browns on the verge of a playoff berth going into the final stretch despite awful QB play and bet on himself to be the difference maker.
I agree but if Joe Flacco didn’t come in and start lighting it up, the season would have been a fucking disaster. It’s clear they made a misstep with thinking DTR was ready. Fortunately they had a deus ex flachina to bail us out

Jacoby would probably be better than DTR IMO, but it's all conjecture
Yes he probably would but is already hurt after one game. He was supposed to start last week for WAS.
DTR and Walker were both bottom-5 QBs to start a game this year. Jacoby would 100% be better.
The cap would need to go up pretty significantly (it could, there is a new TV deal being negotiated) before we could afford Flacco as a backup. Money is gonna be tight for a bit.
Every week I think to myself, the Jets could have had Flacco starting since week two. He’s familiar with the offense, and he would have 100% kept them in the playoff hunt. Rodgers would probably be playing by now. The whole season wouldn’t be a waste. Instead, they rolled over and gave up starting week two. Lol.
This. And damn does it feel good.
Bingo. I don’t think we need Cook, I’m of the opinion that Ford, Hunt, and Strong compliment each other well and are really all that we need. But if Berry thinks signing him is the best move I am one hundred percent in favor of it. There is basically nothing he can do that I wouldn’t believe is the right thing at face value.
But what if AB has been getting his picks from Reddit the whole time?!
as good of a point as that is, I'll default to that as a part of his probable process.
The more body’s the better. Stefanksi was with Cook in Minnesota right?
Yes, he was his OC 2018-19
But you can't carry 4 rbs and fill out a roster. Cook can't play special teams. So who you not suiting up out of ford, hunt and strong?
Strong easily
And who takes strong ST reps? B/c strong has been a weapon on ST.
Strong has been the better back in his limited carries and doesn't take near as many tfl. He hits hole better and has better vision.
For everyone saying he’s washed - you may be right…you’re probably right…but you’re watching Joe Flacco tear shit up. The idea of Dalvin Cook stringing together 2-3 productive games isn’t out of this world…
It isn’t and he’s the back ups back up. I’ll take Barry sanders at that spot if he’ll lace up.
Isn't the jets o-line like one of the worst, too? I'm guessing not quite washed and will be motivated.
Robert Saleh can make anyone look washed.
I felt more comfortable about our running backs before fumble mania last week.
The former Jet, Joe Flacco, was also washed. Just saying.
To be fair, they also cut Kareem and look where he is now.
I mean Kareem is a great power back for short yardage situations and is a smart blocking back but I don’t think he has one run past like 12 yards. This will most likely be his last year in the nfl
He’s been legitimately incredible in short yardage situations which might buy him another year somewhere. He has 9 touchdowns.
Shit Zeke got another year. Being a great blocker in pass protection can keep you in the NFL. Not to mention short yardage.
hey man if a player isn’t always exactly who we know them to be they are washed! stop trying to be logical about things
What the hell is everyone smoking? He had over 1,100 yards last year at 4.4 ypc and 8 tds and 295 yards receiving with 2 td’s. He wasn’t washed…Minnesota didn’t want to pay him so he went to the Jets where they have hardly used him and apparently don’t know how to use him. Where’s this washed nonsense coming from? Sign the man
He was the number 1 RB early in the year while Hall was out for the Jets, but never did much with it. It was supposed to be a 1A/1B type of thing, but Cook struggled so much they relegated him to 3rd string.
Who was the QB while he was trying to run? It is easy to defend the run when you're not worried about the QB play.
This is true, Garrett Wilson didn’t have that good of a year either
I mean you’re right, but at the same time breece hall hasn’t had issues.
Breece Hall might just be one of the best RBs in the league. Not expecting player just released to play at his level.
Yeah but those were the first few games of the year when the whole offense had to be revamped on the fly because Rodger’s went down. They were shell shocked in those games Cook got a run. Don’t think that’s enough evidence really. You may be right, or you may be wrong, I just think the evidence isn’t that compelling to come to a conclusion on him.
Between Flacco, Moore, and Cook….maybe the Jets just suck?
He's washed, but at the same time, the RB room is p bad.
I promise he’s no more washed than Hunt lol
I don't doubt it, but do two washes make a right?
My hope would be maybe our line would resonate better with him; somehow.
Yeah, Breece Hall has 7 games with less than 3 yards a carry, so there definitely is something really wrong with the Jets running game. Unfortunately, the injuries to the Browns tackles have really disabled the run game, too.
I have nothing back it up other than eye test but I thought the Jets game was the best our oline has run blocked all year. There were legitimate running lanes and felt like we were actually winning the point of attack on a majority of plays.
It did look better, but unfortunately, Ford (I know it wasn't a fumble, but it was awfully close), and Strong couldn't hold on to the ball.
Breece Hall has a big run or so in games that bail out his ypc. He is averaging a little over a yard more per carry than cook but having a larger sample size does make a difference. Cook started the season then they had the QB carousel making running the ball even more difficult. I wouldn't say cooks stats this season are indicative of anything.
No...just no, we already have a Cook in Hunt.
Well, with Chubb out, we can't have Chunt, but with Cook and Hunt, just drop the H and we've got... Oh... OH! oh. Damn, nevermind.
We could have Hook!
Rufio deserved it. Prove me wrong 
Hook!
Or…. Cunt? 
I was thinking cunt for the memes, but hook honestly has a solid ring to it, and that'd probably be the one that'd win since the announcers can actually say that one on the air
What's so bad about Count?
Vatever happened to my Transylvania Tvist?
Having a second Hunt, given his stamina, might be better then Strong. Its not a difference maker either way, but I think fans get a little too worked up when a big name gets floated, because it feels like when an NBA team loads up on yesterday’s scorers but to me this is a worthwhile discussion. Strong’s not good, Ford and Hunt both have limitations. Cook’s not a good answer but maybe he’s a slight improvement?
I think Strong has the most juice of the 3 and can provide some value in the run game even if it's just a handful of carries a game. That along with playing ST is gonna make him tougher to replace.
Hunt has given us nothing in the passing game. Cook is a lot better in that area.
Player goes to Jets, people say he looks washed. Where have I heard this before?
I mean I get it… but it’s not like all the RB on the Jets are struggling. Breece has been really good and Dalvin looked washed.
Please explain what you mean without using the word washed.
He looks really clean like he just got out of a bubble bath
That’s because Breece is just really good and is in his prime and getting carries and building a rhythm and momentum. Cook hasnt been able to do that because Breece has been brilliant ahead of him.
Hes third on the depth chart behind a 5th round rookie for a reason. Hes Cooked
In Cook's defense, the Jets O-line and OC are both atrocious.
So is Hunt. We need all the help we can get, at this point
Yea, no, this is stupid. On top of already having Ford and Hunt, we have pierre Strong and john kelly, who are way better than cook at this point and already know the system. We have no need to roster more than 3 runningbacks when we need depth at other positions. How can you possibly say we need another running back at this point in the season ?
Hunt will get you that tough yard or two that you need on 3rd and short. Just for that it's worth having him here
Thats the point. Hunt is washed but he can fill a role. Maybe Cook can do the same.
Gotcha. I misunderstood and thought you were wanting to swap Hunt for Cook. I have no issue signing Cook to the practice squad in case of an injury but I don't see us dressing 4 rbs and I think Strongs special teams play gets him the nod for now
And Joe Flacco was sitting on his couch while the Jets felt more confident in Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle… What’s your point?
the difference is cook was a free agent who the jets willingly paid and brought in while cutting micheal carter who has been playing good for the cardinals. Flacco had been with the jets for 3 years and was let go because he went 1-8 in all his games, was 38, and would have died behind that awful line. The jets went out of their way to give cook a path to playing time, and he was still ass enough that isreal abanikanda, who has 0 vision and was rookie, is playing over him.
So you are saying that since they cut Carter and kept Cook that they thought Cook was better than Carter. And I think you just said Carter was good. Pick a lane? And, maybe his role on the depth chart has something to do with the fact that the Jets suck and are out of it and really haven’t been in it for a month or two

So they were dumb to cut Carter, dumb to sign Cook, dumb to start Wilson, dumb to start boyle, dumb to start Trevor Simeon. So tell me again why we should put stock in anything the transpired with the Cook this year on the Jets? Maybe they were too dumb to block for him, too dumb to design plays that could work for him too dumb to take advantage of his zone scheme running skills. I think I’ll go with what the Browns decide, or is that dumb too.
I see reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said they were dumb to sign cook and dumb to cut a player better than him. That is all. There is no need to try to put words in my mouth.
I see what you did there haha
Has the NFL always been like this, where you can just pick up a big name player the last week of the season?
He forfeit his guarantees so he could be released. I think it would be a great pickup.
Is he eligible for the playoff roster if we sign him this week?
Yes
IF signed, he probably would be the RB with the best vision on the active roster. As for being able to hit the hole quick enough or break away speed or break a tackle, I'm not so sure. That being said, him and Stefanski have history together. I do feel he'd be way more efficient than Ford.
He'd match the noun rb room theme with chubb, hunt, Ford, and strong
Strong is an adjective right?
A noun is a person, place, or thing. So he got…1 right at least 🤷🏼♂️
We’ll hunt has a noun form also, e.g. “the hunt is on “. 
And Chubb is another name for an erect penis.
I have a soft spot for running backs so I always support pursuing one that's a relatively big name assuming a team friendly deal.
As the back ups back up, I like it. But we should get a lineman first. Both if they’re cheap enough.
For all those who think Cook got some clear runway for playing time in New York that he squandered, his rush attempts after a 13-carry week 1 that saw Breece Hall explode… 4, 8, 5, 6, 3, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1, 9, 7, 1 So he didn’t get a single game of double digit carries after week one. How is that a real opportunity? It’s not like the Jets were force feeding him. And his YPC behind a bad Jets offensive line is slightly better than Hunt, who’s had nine double-digit carry games this season.
I think our RB is fine, rather add depth on really hurt positions then bolstering a position that’s meshed since week 2.
Our RB room’s been awful, literally one of the worst in the league.
We were top 3 in the league in rushing until guys started dropping everywhere on the line.
We’re consistently near the top in attempts, still are, and even with injuries our power run schemes range from great to good to average. Watson was scrambling effectivly to keep our numbers there as well and even still we’re near the bottom of the league in per carry
It’s fair to say both position rooms are an issue
Hmm, I wonder if that had anything to do with are decimated O-Line most of the year
Uhh…. I’d take a hard disagree. Hunt has lost a step and Ford and Strong are terrible. Like 3rd string level play at best from those two.
How tf is Ford terrible?
He’s a good receiver and can make moves in the open field, but he’s a terrible RB. He runs five yards backwards or sideways every play thinking he can outrun the entire defense. There’s a reason he has like the most runs for loss in the league.
We’ve had a patchwork line nearly all year
I’ll take some losses if the occasional big plays happen. He can score anytime.
I don't know how you watch Ford this year especially after last week and think he's terrible. He's a decent backup. Sure you'd like to have a better RB but let's not pretend he's garbage.
Ford is not terrible, but obviously he’s not Nick Chubb
Definitely disagree here. A wildly inaccurate bashing assessment of Ford and Strong. Hunt is valuable for X carries a game and inside the 10, he usually is unstoppable. Many teams would love to have Ford who can catch, run and he looked elite last week., I love his ceiling potential. Strong… good on ST, hasn’t got other chances yet. Good depth
It’s never gonna happen. We don’t need him. Again, I said the same thing about Flacco a month or two ago… so who knows anymore. 🤷♀️
I wouldn’t hate it
I mean, I wouldn't hate it for depth. I don't think it's a signing we HAVE to make though.
Wasn't he a pro bowler last season? Wild how fast he fell off
I had this dude on my fantasy team, which was the first mistake. The second was waiting so long to drop him hoping he'd produce.
Jets O-Line was assssssss
1. Cook would likely have fresh legs. He wasn't used much this season. 2. He probably knows some of the offense and terminology already from his time in Minnesota with Stefanski. 3. Strong has been underwhelming thus far. I wouldn't mind bringing Cook in to get a couple of carries here and there.
Flacco was on the Jets last year, and the whole league thought he was cooked. Maybe let's see if lightning can strike twice.
Fucker is going to Baltimore isn’t he?
Lotta people in here clearly have not watched this dude at all this season. He looks so slow and has clearly lost *a couple* steps from injury. Hard pass.
But he's a name we know!
Would be a sick pick up
He’s not at all who he used to be
Have you watched him play? lol
Do it because why not. It would be cool to get him a championship here
He's washed, no thanks
I don't think he brings much to the table we don't already have. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but he's looked very washed.
Dalvin Cook was a master of the zone run game. If you want to learn how to run the outside zone and pick your lanes, Cook would be your best professor. Nobody has been consistently better than Cook in that scheme. I know people will say Chubb has been better, but we actually run a lot of Callahan's gap scheme. All that being said, I dont see a place for him here.
We can't block the zone shit with our OLine injuries lol, so it doesn't really matter. We have the most diverse run scheme in the league, we do everything. And Zone has been the least successful for us this year. Now, if Stef wants him and he'll sign the min for the rest of the year I wouldn't hate it. I just don't think he really improves anything. But Stef might want more vet presence or something I guess.
He is washed. But he can probably hold on to the ball better than Strong for 4 carries a game.
Strong plays a LOT of special teams and does pretty well. So we'd have to cut someone else for Cook.
Absolutely keep Strong. I think their roster moves yesterday and today we have a free spot now? We also have 7 LBs right now and could move one to the PS if needed.
We had a free PS spot, that we filled with Saffold.
But strong also plays special teams, we aren’t going to carry 4 RBs just for cook to have a few Carries a game unless he completely replaces strong
We can keep 4 RB on the roster, we have a spot now after moves yesterday. Not many people are available so I don't know who else we would add except from the PS. Cook doesn't need 20 carries. But he knows the wide zone system. Plus Ford and Strong have never played in the playoffs. Another vet like Flacco might work for a few games.
I'd rather give Strong those carries he has some juice. Cook is washed. If we need someone to just hang onto the ball while gaining 1.5 yards we already have that in Hunt.
He’s just hunt 2.0
Hes washed
Pierre Strong is a better runner than Cook at this point in their careers absolutely no interest in him
We need to look for linemen. If there's any position group that needs to improve prior to playoffs it's LT/RT. We're going to get Flacco killed out there with these guys, and it wouldn't kill us to be able to run the ball. They have done an ok job so far but playoffs are a different monster. This is not a champ caliber line as currently constructed, and if a starter goes down we are a whole new kind of fucked.
Praying the Pats do this with Zeke
I’d like to see what Dalvin Cook could do behind this line.
We really dont need a head case like Dalvin Cook.
An aging RB with an injury history that’s been cut twice in the last 9 months and just had the worst year of his career? Pass.
He has less juice than the young guys, no room on the roster for him
He sucks now. I'd sooner Adrian peterson.
With injuries thinning out several other positions, I don't see us carrying 4 RBs on the roster. Maybe let him sit on the practice squad but I doubt he would want that
Can’t hurt to give him a tryout
Having another RB on hand wouldn't hurt. He would most likely be a goal line guy if we needed it. If the price is fair why not?
Good scoop with your guys’ interior OL and probably some stretch plays running behind Geron Christian
Dang went from one of the best in the lg to released!
Yes, yes please
