Re: Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints
Don't forget that they brought in Colston to talk to him and after that pep talk from the veteran in private, Cooks has been pretty close to "Quiet Storm 2.0" ever since.

Re: Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints
Actually, the Saints didn't bring Colston in to talk to Cooks. That was another falsehood spread by a media *****. Colston and Cooks were close the whole time and they had talked weekly since Colston left. Once again, don't believe the crap you read unless you do a little research first.

Re: Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints
It wasn't what he said that bothered me, it's the fact that he said it after we won by 28 points.
I'd understand if we lost the game and Cooks believed he could help, but after a 28 point win you should be happy. Yet he sat there wondering about his lack of stats. |

Re: Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints
That wasn't what he said at all. He basically said he was frustrated because he wasn't able to personally help the team win. There was no mention of stats. It was totally innocent.

It bothered me at the time, but he hasn't said or done anything since so I'm over it. Did it get blown out of proportion? Yes. But was he acting like a selfish teammate? In my opinion, yes. |

Re: Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints
Doesn't mention stats or looks, doesn't badmouth Brees or SP, doesn't say me-me-me
“It’s one of those things, as a competitor, I was frustrated. But at the same time, our offense was moving the ball and we won the game, so that was the bright side of it,” Cooks said, via ESPN.com. “I’m just thinking from a competition standpoint, I always want to help, I feel like, and I necessarily didn’t that game. I feel like from my mindset, when I touch the ball, things happen, and I just want to help my team in that way.” |
