Players after big seasons most often disappoint the next season. Todd Gurley, Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Eric Decker, CJ Anderson. They always happen.

And defense WILL be game planning for Thomas. I didn't think Thomas was anything like AJ Green or Jones last year, he was good because of his role. But he was no deep threat. And who's going to fill those shoes left by Cooks. The week 1 game against the raiders, the week 6 game against Carolina. The week 15 game against Arizona. The week 10 game against Denver. Who won those games for us or almost?

Coleman better be ready. Because he's gonna be needed a lot next year.

Cooks is now an established, proven, elite receiver and opposite Jordan Matthews, keep the heat on 'em and get the 15th pick from 'em (Minnesota's pick) and then you can really jump start the defense, or trade that 15th pick down and pick up even more in this incredible draft...

Philly is not changing their system...not sure where you pulled that out of 😉

Would much rather have the wr we could get at 14. Control his salary for 4 years. Williams/Davis, big receivers, both have higher ceiling ...esp Davis

We'll be fine. We never had a WR like Cooks. We actually do better with a bunch of average Joes just happy to be starting on a team with no attitude about touches. Look at the Pats this year, their WR's were hot and cold all season. Nobody said a word and none of them are that special. Edelman man only had 3 TDs.

great.
a D-heavy draft in '17 and we're asking for picks in '18

I guess we'll see what comes to fruition. But if Cooks wants out, show him the door while getting compensated fairly. The current staff has never cared for "me first" players and had gotten rid of them quickly.

The next week should be entertaining to say the least.

One of the announcers at the Combine had the Saints on the LF short list. Really? Not even sure how they came to that conclusion. I will say though Blount sure did give Brady a lot of relief this season. 18TD for Blount. Sure makes the job of an older QB a hell of a lot easier.

2013-2015 average joes worked just fine.

That's Ingram's job to do since he's the "Blount" of our team.
