Ain’t this interesting...

Cooks can’t separate.

Here's another--

Target Separation-- A receivers average yards of separation distance from the closest DB at the moment the pass target arrives

Cooks Rank- 2019 --#62, 2018- #87 of all WR's

Like this nut job said, he wasn’t carrying coverages and this was a BAD deal from inception.

Les Snead is a lucky man, after these BIG swings and misses he should be unemployed.

The extra 2nd round pick makes this draft much more interesting. I sincerely doubt Snead sits still and just makes picks where we sit....


I do believe teams will be looking to trade for Woods, don't be shocked if some team offers us a 1st round pick, plus two more picks as well, which includes a mid round pick next year.

yeah, neither can deandre hopkins or julio jones i guess given you have to go down another 40+ guys after cooks to find them on the separation list, and we might as well dump reynolds too because he's much farther down on the list than cooks.

LOL then you’re looking st the wrong thing.

Both Hopkins and Julio are great bodying corners high pointing the ball and making contested catches.

They don’t need the separation that a 5-9 body catcher needs.

Lol too funny.

AND....

He’s a totally different receiver than Cooks.

He may be the best of the bunch at claiming the ball as his in the air.

Him as a person aside.

Man you’re going the wrong way. Lol

Why are we still going over Brandin Cooks numbers? He's with Houston now. His job was to replace Sammy Watkins and he did that quite well. Watkins averaged 2.6 receptions per game for the Rams. Cooks, 4.0. Sammy had 9 receptions of 20 or more yards. Cooks, 31. Sammy had 2 receptions of 40 or more yards. Cooks 5. I'd say he replaced him in spades. He actually was the deep threat Watkins was supposed to be. But his time here is over. Soon we'll be talking about the guy who replaces Brandin Cooks and I hope he does as good as Cooks did replacing Sammy.

How did they move pray tell?

You dudes are something else, you can’t counter with anything football related, so you reduce the discussion to this.

You brought up other receivers and I explained The differences.

The only thing that moved is your nerve.

Pffffttt

Cooks is a really good zone WR. He doesn’t separate well against man, especially press man. He does body catch and his hands are just ok. He does have deceptive speeds and is pretty quick in and out of breaks. I for one, hoped for more. But, he did make some plays for us. A better WR with better/stronger hands probably makes at least one of those contested catches in the SB. Then again, they might not have gotten open and both balls on those plays fluttered, giving defenders time to recover. His concussions and how he doesn’t seem to protect himself week or is just unlucky became a concern.

BC is gone. There are a number or WRs in the draft that could very well be better and a true #1 deep threat. We will see if Snead lands one.
