I'm not trying to be a wet blanket after such a dominating win.....honest, I'm really not. BUT: when is the last time we saw Cook with the room to move, juke and do his thing like he did yesterday? He will annihilate teams if he can continue to get that kind of room to operate, but we all know this line stinks. And they aren't consistent. He's as good a weapon as there is in the NFL, but he needs a yard or two of room to operate, just like any successful RB does....and before yesterday, he wasn't getting it.
So what do I believe? What I've seen all year long or what I saw yesterday and might be an anomaly? One game at a time, but I'm not sold on it continuing.
Will that happen regularly? Nah...We all know it won't cause they don't play the Phish every week and not with the group they have in 18. But it does bring the term "pick your poison" back to the discussion regarding the Viking O.
Our skill position players on offense are pretty damn good - and the D notches damn near 10 sacks when they can play with some sort of lead.
