I would not play Cousins/Cook/Theilan/Diggs one play in preseason game 1.
Would you play Dalvin Pre-season game #1?

See you preseason game 2, Dalvin. Hope at least Remmers is back by then. Sheesh.

Made the right choice in not playing Cook, as I thought. No reason to yet.

I trust the staff is seeing enough in camp to feel good about his progress without playing game 1. Getting the right day on/day off pitch count going.
Plus they probably thought hell we've got scrimmages with the Jags D this week and then playing them again Game 2. Probably enough to knock any rust off of DC.

Great question & thread...
Von Miller sure has no answers “ Stretched, went through the whole pregame warmup. [Then] a call came from upstairs that [I] wasn’t going to play.” & the day before from his Head Coach... ” He’s totally healthy,” Joseph said. “He’s had a great camp, and we have no reason not to play Von. Von’s in good health and good spirits, so why not?” Sooooooo... maybe Cook was not in good spirits ?

I would like for him to have a few touches to just get a feel for a real defense again. He doesn't need to grind and grind away to get back to speed, but a touch or two would in a real game would probably help heading into the season.
I'm not sure how much of a rush this (to get him on the field) actually is though... Latavius Murray is playing pretty well, he looks fresher than last year coming off his ankle/foot injury. I actually wonder how many more preseason snaps he needs at this point. And if they have to play, I think i'd like so see them split a small number of reps early and then just play Roc Thomas and Mike Boone for the rest of way. Whatever happens with Cook, we should be considering the injury risk for the other halfback that ultimately carried the load last year. There's no reason to straddle Murray with extra or unnecessary touches. |
