Is a late thrown swing pass to Cook as he hits the arse of Woerner getting blown up on a block really all he can do?

But more seriously, I completely agree. Think he’s criminally underutilized. I’d have him in the backfield, then go split him out so he’s matched one on one against linebackers.

We need less Woerner and Wolf split out wide, and more Cook.

We should definitely be throwing more swing passes to him in the backfield to left side....

Yeah, I guess he is only capable of catching a pass behind the line of scrimmage based on how he is used

I legit laughed out loud in the first half. We had a 3 receiver set to the left side, 2 of them being Wolf and Woerner (the whitest non linemen on the team, mind you, so they stand out like sore thumbs) with Cook in the backfield.

Can you guess what we did next?

I dont understand why we dont just pit him at receiver. He has excellent balance and speed

Cook has had a few opportunities but he seems to lack the vision to avoid trouble. A play will start with promise but Cook runs right into the arms of the nearest defender. It happens every time Cook get the ball.

Maybe he just needs a hug?
