I hate to keep :deadhorse2: but Jared Cook will bring back the seam route.

Something we hadn't seen since the Jimmy Dickens days.

iirc the Saints wern't the only team with Jimmy Grahams playbook, the entire league knew where Jimmy was going.

I'd get a new playbook.

Well Drew certainly ain't throwing the balk deeper.

But recall that Jimmy G's last year was not a Saint's season to remember. Brees had a suspect O line giving him no time and the receiving corp was pretty thin. Cooks was a rookie, Colston and Meachem were past their prime, Toon was a BIG mistake, and Stills was a developing cancer. Most important, the likes of Kamara was nowhere to be seen.

This left Jimmy G as Brees' only option on most occasions.

So, dust of the Jimmy G playbook with Thomas and Kamara on the field and you have a different game.

Now wonder he didn't want to renew his contract. :eek:

80 - 1000- 10
modest estimation

I can easily picture him sneezing when they open that dusty play book.

Yep - got to constantly evolve, tweak, stay ahead of the game; then again, everyone knows Brady's going to a healthy Gronk, sometimes not healthy, and still couldn't stop it like Graham...

Not seeing what the article is reporting as Cook's simply not built like Graham, so I'm not buying Sigler's cited salesmanship by Dan Campbell; that's no fault of Sigler, he's just reporting it...

Seam/Go routes? Sure. And Cook may have more success than JG unless a quality SS is matched up. But much of the success with JG was post-up/dump bucket plays for 3rd down conversions/red zone variety...

Cook's much smaller than JG and so Drew will have a much tighter window to make those dump passes...

He's 6'5"

But either way, for two seasons the safety of LB in pass defense could shade to Thomas' side. Not going to happen next season with Cook on the field

Cook is 6'5, 250 (think Jeremy Shockey) and still runs a sub 4.50 40. If a safety takes his eyes off Cook for a split second, forget it, Ted Ginn is gone. The presence alone makes JC an instant threat in this offense.

He's a top 5 TE who I bet SP envision placing him in the slot & at WR.

If we are "clicking" (protection up front) offensively, this team will be hard to stop in December/January.

Who dat!
