I was wondering what happened to him.... We certainly didn't miss him.
Maybe they went with WRs that blocked better.

I hope this isn't true. I hate *****y ass receivers. It's annoying. And I've always enjoyed the fact we don't have a bunch of divas on the team like Dallas. Please don't turn into a douchebag Cooks.

I don't know how Cooks is feeling about his role, but when the other receivers are as wide open as they were all day against the Rams, there is literally no reason to throw to Cooks.

If I were out there, I'd want to have some balls thrown my way, too, as a competitor. You always want to feel like you're contributing. But when you realize that your team is winning and maybe you just had to be the decoy that day, then you have to take a step back and understand that it isn't personal. No one is ignoring you. So IF Cooks is bothered by his role, then that is pretty selfish.

Targeting players just for the sake of making them happy is a good way to lose AND alienate other players who are getting open and being ignored.

Especially when Cooks has had multiple weeks with 80+ yard TD's and some great grabs, now at the moment when Michael Thomas is making some noise Cooks is complaining.

What do you want Cooks, you want Brees to throw into double coverage and risk an interception so you can make a 7 yard catch??

Grow up seriously.

Let's say this is true. There is a solution to all of this, he can be dealt to New England straight up for Jimmy Garoppolo, then we bring Kenny Stills back to be the speed receiver, now everyone is happy...

Hell No....Cooks is a MAJOR reason MT & Willie Snead are getting open and he's twice as good as Kenny

Michael Thomas never had less than 4 catches in any single game this season. Before last week Cooks no less than 3. Snead had a game with 0 against Atlanta but I think he was hurt.

Most of you are acting like Cooks is out there acting like a ass. If he did say anything it was most likely based upon a direct question such as, "How do you feel about not being targeted at all during the game?" If he was to answer anything other than wanting to be able to contribute directly then I would have a problem.

I know how the media works. It feeds off of controversy even if it has to be the originator.

Cooks has been the main threat for the past couple of years. Brees is always going to go to the open man. Coverage is, of course, going to be the most intense on Cooks at this point. But, with the way Thomas has been playing I expect Cooks to have his share of the action in the coming weeks. I am certain that Cooks knows this, as well. I'll guarantee you that there is nothing to this other than an Ian Rapoport wanna-be trying to get a few extra clicks. His source is most likely his left hand.
