Foles only threw 3 passes tonight against KC and one got picked. Was it a tip ball, bad read or what? Kind of surprised he's even playing but throwing a pick in the 4th preseason game?

I heard he hit cook right in the hands but it was a fastball that bounced off

Wow, yeah, fastball off the hands is it:

Edit: And by fastball, it wasn't like an exceptional heater or anything, and by hands I mean those 2 skillets hanging off the end of Cook's arms.

Ah...life as a Rams QB.

That was a great ball by Foles, perfect velocity and placement.

The answer to the question is very simple... Cook is a stiff.

I hope Foles gets in his face and tells him either get your head out of your butt or I don't want you in my huddle.

Wouldn't say it was "perfect" but it wasn't a bad ball by any means. Ideally, I think that pass should be on the body as most receivers aren't going to want to extend and expose when they're between two defenders.

Obviously, putting it out in front like that for a receiver with great hands would have led to a big play but in general, I think the risk of just that kind of tipped ball means the placement should be just a tad more "on" the receiver.

But, I just wanted to know if Foles made a mistake and this one's not on him.

I have just about had it with Mr. "I don't block for nobody" Cook. He doesn't do half his job as a TEAM and disappears for most of the season except for 2 or 3 games and it's pissing me off.

We'll see if Foles helps Cook's numbers improve but I too am dissatisfied with what he's provided for the contract he got.

Cook and Britt didn't exactly set the world on fire as Titans so I've never been particularly thrilled with Fisher re-pairing the two with the Rams.

Should have been caught by Cookie. Also a side note it was good pass protection on the play. Rewound it and watched each lineman nobody got beat.

Hit Cookie in the hands.
