Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
It just occurred to me -
Pats best WR Edelman is out for the year and now have Cooks to fall back on. Saints best OT Armstead is out for most of season at least and now have Ryan R. (1st round pick) to fall back on. |
Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Very true. Poor Cooks had just 1 catch for 8 yards last night though... "Closed mouths don't get fed" right Brandin?

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Remember when Edelman posed nude for ESPN? Remember what happened to Arrietta's stats in MLB after he posed nude last year? This thing is the new Madden curse.

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Edelman was his main competition. Edelman though, hardly any TD's last year and with their offense, he could be iced at any given time. I doubt he gets the yards he got last year. It was a good move for us. MT is a much better WR1. He can do it all.

Forgot about that Madden Curse...

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
It will be interesting to see if Brandin starts pouting again when he isn't the focal point every damn week.

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Its amazing to me how people are I find the it comical how player x is the greatest thing since sliced bread and then when they are traded or leave for whatever reason. Now its player x sucks he don't do this or that etc. Its comical very comical

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Hard to imagine him under 1000 yds even if he wont go across the middle. He can beat you deep and hell take a short post the distance too. Brady will get him the ball. It might even be scary good too. I hope not.

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Only secondary in the NFC East is the Dolphins and they've got some injureies so Cooks will be awesome...
Hooray for me because I have BOTH Cooks and Thomas on my Keeper team rewarding my Hom-erism... |

It was a win/win for both teams.

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Gronk will, for the 4 games he's "healthy". He and oft injured ex Colt Dwayne Allen can alternate being out of the lineup

Saints have plenty film on him & pretty much know his weaknesses. Doesn't like contact,struggles with press coverage, sucks @ 50/50 ball, sucks at the screen game. 9 route all day from the slot with the out& up. Decoy is my guess vs Saints.

Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
Depends on Ramis health. Regardless though I think it was a good call. We certainly didn't get shafted and DID get a position of needs. Our running game will give our other receivers get less focus so theoretically we could be more prolific with less talent at receivers. That being said I'm not convinced we have less talent there.
Again though it all hinges on the offensive line. We may even start the season with a backup lineman that's not even on the team. |
Re: Guess the Cooks trade was the right idea
We got Ryan Ramczyk and Trey Hendrickson in the deal, so we're looking a whole lot better now...
Still would have preferred to have sent the sixth round pick as the Pats were gonna lose the fourth round pick anyway... Sometimes wonder if some of this was Payton helping Belichick stick it to Goodell so that the league didn't get the Pats original 4th round for Inflategate... |
