Buffalo Rumblings on James Cook
From the article
I talked to him like, 'yeah, you know what, with your ability, and your speed, and your quickness, man, I really would like to see a little bit more out of you in the passing game.' In order for him to do that, he has to be out on the football field first, second, and third down.
STACKED’s take
Thomas pushes Cook for more passing-game role; sees three-down upside if he earns snaps.
Thurman Thomas, speaking with Cook at the new Highmark Stadium, advocates for expanded receiving opportunities for the Bills running back. Thomas told Cook directly: 'yeah, you know what, with your ability, and your speed, and your quickness, man, I really would like to see a little bit more out of you in the passing game.' Thomas notes that for Cook to realize this upside, he must earn a full-time role across all three downs rather than being limited to blocking assignments, saying 'In order for him to do that, he has to be out on the football field first, second, and third down.' Thomas expresses optimism about Cook's readiness: 'I think he's ready to go and have an even better year this year.'
