2 1/2 actually.

I think my brain deleted that Bills game from existence..

 

[AtomicDawg]

This right here tells me everything I need to know about how the last 3 months have gone for Cooks.



It's clear that he's ready to "go to war" as he says, and it doesn't hurt to get cozy with the General (Brady).

There have been numerous NFL HC's who have given their teams the last OTA practice off or done some other bonding team activity. I'll be very surprised if BB does the same. First it's not in his nature to squander a teaching opportunity, especially when he feels he doesn't get enough as it is. Secondly, I think he really wants to put a period on any thoughts that because they won the superbowl last year, they should feel any kind of entitlement at the start of this year.

Getting to the superbowl is an extremely long grind adding 5 additional weeks to the season. The superbowl hangover is a real thing, and coaching around that is just another thing that seems to separate BB from his peers.

That is just one of the reasons I think BB will run a hard practice today to send a final message to his players before they head off for then next unsupervised 5 weeks, that they still have a lot of work to do if they really want a chance to repeat.

In case it wasn't a rethorical question .. Cy

Ok, was confused by the Ivan Fears bit.

The Buffalo game almost doesn't count, as he didn't do anything in it (due to his sore thumb, probably).

 

[captain stone]

This is so fuxkin good. Bill gives 0, 24/7, 365. Sorry if already posted.

Dwayne Allen might already be a lost cause because of his being exposed to the Indy Clots disease for so long. I expect more from James O'Shaunessy than I do from this over-paid, ball-dropping stiff.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Tell us how you really feel, Capn!

 

[Mike the Brit]

The Captain doesn't leave you in doubt, does he?

How were you on Martellus Bennett this time last year, sir?

Agreed. Bill isnt here to make friends or make sure everyone's feelings dont get hurt.

Catch the ****in ball, block your ass off and he'll be your best friend.

Martellus Bennett was already a proven commodity in the league at this time last year; Dwops Allen has already proven to the league that he sucks.

I know some didn't like the trade but I couldn't be happier. Cooks is legit. He's younger than John Ross (drafted top 10 Bengals), works the whole field and has talent coming out his ears.

Can beat you deep, take a bubble for 6 or gash a defense with crossers.

Hes the future. If anyone isn't that familiar with him get ready to be amazed.

I said weeks ago this is the best wr corp we had during the B&B era. They might be the best in the league when/if you count Gronk.

Be amazing if we can nab him long term, I know their gonna try but he's probably gonna want to know who the future QB is

Everything we've seen so far has been positive concerning Cooks which is a great start.

 

[Joker]

Just for YOU, RakingBundlesSandy....

 

[maineman209]

I view them as corollary.

Did you mean "ancillary"?

No

I think he's one of the guys posting here that 2018 is the end of Brady

No

Then you need to be clearer.
