From the episode

The benefit of Cooks might become might come on those like fluky plays. He had like a score called back and then got it again. The next play pretty like with his scrambling, especially with the lack of receivers that you're just dealing to. Cooks can be the guy that when pretty is scrambling, he is gets to the spot in the zone or just in the scramble drill that can get open and be there for a party.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Cooks thrives on Purdy scrambles with limited receiver depth.

Cooks benefits from scramble drills with Brock Purdy; when Purdy scrambles, Cooks can get to open spots in the zone and be available for the play, especially given the lack of other reliable receivers on the 49ers.
