Re: Brandin Cooks
 

I guess Payton and Drew look into this forum and followed my advice. Great job with the deep shots to Cooks.. the first one he should have also had, but the TD was a thing of beauty.

WHO DAT

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

What a game breaker. I'm glad Sean opened up the playbook and took some chances with the deep ball to Cooks.

Brandin is a special player.

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

Watching him creating separation on that TD. Looked so easy. Wow!

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

I had been begging for more shot plays in other threads. I almost teared up a little bit when I saw them unleash stills and cooks down the field last night. It was a thing of beauty. I also must eat a considerable amount of crow with regards to ingram. When he is given the carries, dude is a load. He's also become better at reading his blocks.

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

Notice Brees also had room to step up and launch. I'll rewatch but I suspect Lelito had a pretty good game.

My only real complaint, albeit minor, was short yardage. Our O-line got no push at all. Granted they stacked the box but it reminded me way to much of Ingram getting surrounded and pummeled by 4 defenders 3 yards behind the LOS.

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

I've been begging to hit Cooks with a ball in stride (not even deep)

Payton needs to stop forcing Brandon to be Sprouls Mk II

he had great separation and other than that one drop he was determined to come down with it

open up that playbook!

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

Man that dude is fast!

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

3 down-the-field bombs to Cooks...

1 Drop (it was in heavy traffic, but you gotta have that ball)
1 31-yard Pass Interference penalty (yes, it was legit)
1 50-yard TD

I will take this in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Sean & Drew, for listening to us here on Black & Gold.com. And you're welcome, Mr. Cooks.

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

On that long TD pass he caught Brees could actually have thrown it even longer because Cooks had to slow down it looks like.

Re: Brandin Cooks
 

I didn't get to watch the game, but on a replay of Cooks' 50 yarder I noticed that very thing. Drew was able to climb the pocket and launch it. O-Line boys and girls. That's the ticket.
