Cooks should watch Stefon Diggs TD for Minestota and learn something about effort and toughnes.

I'd like to see him more agressive in those situations.

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

Oh yeah I agree with you there, Cooks should have had that and Brees made that throw perfectly.
However there were plenty of other throws that completely sailed on him, I remember one where Brees escaped the pocket and rolled to his right with Cooks completely uncovered and Brees overshot him by a mile.

It wasn't perfect but a win is a win and I'm happy for that considering how the season started.
Hopefully this has made the players realise that they can't sit back with a 20 point lead and the entire second half to play.

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

I'd like to see that aswell. He has lots of speed and athleticism, but he needs to make the tough catches, too. Something I don't see a lot from him.

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

He is like small version of Jimmy Graham. If throw isn't perfect he won't make that extra effort. It's frustrating because he has all the talent in the world.

Drew has always thrown to "who he likes".

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

He caught the one that counted.
And it wasnt an easy one.
Classic Colston.
Count me as a fan.
Dont you wish all your friends were like me?

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

They all count. He has dropped just as many of those as he has caught in recent years ... Hard to call it classic Colston. Something wrong with pointing out the obvious?

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

This team has no where to go but up. You can see improvements on both sides of the ball. I don't know where this team will be at the end of the year, whether playoffs are a possibility or not... but the future isn't bad.

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

Burn that's true, all catches count just as all money counts...

But some bills are worth more than others and Colston was money at the end of the game...

Re: Lets talk about Colston
 

He did make the catch at the end, THIS TIME. And that's good, no argument there. But he dropped about three passes on the final drive against Carolina, and hasn't been called on in late game situations much before or since then because of his inability to catch with anything close to consistency.

That was my point in an earlier post, that it's sad when the guy finally makes one play and he's hailed for his late game heroics, and "wow what a warrior" type of thing. If it were just about anyone else people wouldn't say much other than "hey, nice catch". But with Colston it stands out because we're used to him dropping it now.
