CriminalMind Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think more opportunities for Mattison is needed. I want less Cousins, more Mattison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't slow down to try to outjuke his defender. He just changes his angle and runs right past him. yeah that acceleration from the 25 to the 30 after his cut is special, so many players would have gotten tackled by the linebacker. also, i love the first stat on the ticker. eli manning 0/4, 0 yards. saquon barkley, 6 rushes 61 yards and a TD lol.

Illadelegend215 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Funny thing is he was leading the league in rushing his rookie year before he got hurt. Dalvin is special man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Watching Cook, he doesn’t have the power that Peterson had, but he’s got the quickness and the speed. But I actually think that Cook has better vision than Peterson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I actually think that Cook has better vision than Peterson. Adrian was/is a 2 yard, -2 yard, 1 yard, 4 yard, -2 yard, 64 yard, 2 yard, 9 yard type of runner. Basically straight ahead into the linebackers/secondary THEN makes people miss. Cook's vision at the line allows him to pick the right hole and see it coming before it's there so he's constantly getting 5+ yards per carry with minimal losses/stuffs at the line. Like you said, he doesn't have Adrian's power and I don't think he's quite as allusive as AD but his vision gets him to the linebackers consistently. Adrian is Miguel Sano. May strikeout 4-5 times before hitting a 475 yard blast Cook is Joe Mauer. Consistently consistent and can hit a homer every once in a while but his bread and butter is singles/doubles.

HitStickAllDay Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 We are embarrassingly deep at RB. I think Mike Boone is even starting caliber in the NFL. Cook is something else. On one of his runs I had to control myself because I thought, “goodness, this guy might be better than AP.” He does not have the physicality, that’s for sure. But I saw Cook finishing runs like I’ve never seen today. Throw in that punisher against Deon Jones last week? His burst and shiftiness are unreal. I really like that the Vikings chose to find a quasi-thumper like Mattison to spell Cook. 33 doesn’t need to be a 30 carry guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cearbhall Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 When Cook is healthy he is something special. It is a lot of fun to watch him run the ball. If he can stay healthy through the year it would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveTheVikings Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Kubiak's system and Dalvin Cook are a match made in heaven. Cook is a damn stud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I wonder how Peterson and Taylor would look in the Stefanski/Kubiak offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
