I know we're still right around middle of the pack with Jet/Murray... but man each and every week I find ourselves missing him more and more, O-line is solid, good WR/TE group. QB is steady if not exciting.. but every time he touched the ball, he had HR potential.

It was a real kick in the gut when he went down. I truly believe he'd be pushing for 1,000 if he was playing right now...it is a real bummer. Here's to hoping he comes back next year and tears it up (the field, NOT his knee).
Having a home run threat like Dalvin takes a lot of pressure off the QB. Jet and Murray are doing a decent job but Dalvin would be scaring teams if he was playing.

Cook is special. If we can keep Jet they are going to be a great combo for a long time. Jet is looking much better than Murray. Murray looks like he is outrunning his feet. Hell, he trips over the LOS every time he touches the ball!!! Jet is damn tough for a small guy. I am very impressed with him, but Cook is special.

I'm still pissed about that injury: the dude was special. Understood pass blocking. A totally talented and instinctual runner. Good hands.

Cook was the kind of running back that is complete. Man when he went down I was just so upset. Just a breath of fresh air compared to the old one dimensional back he replaced.

When I heard the news, my thought was "here we go again" our season is screwed up and basically over again.

I hope Cook heals like AD. But I would add another RB this off-season just in case. I expect Cook will be better in 2019 than in 2018. At least McKinnon is having an outstanding year. Murray has been a disappointment.

Yea what is the though on Cook coming back game 1 next season and being 90%???

Do we count on him as the feature back or do we look in the draft 3rd round plus?

Jet is a free agent. Murray can be cut cheaply I think?

Of course we have the rest of this season to watch what we have but still do we count on Cook as the guy game 1 next year?

I don't think it's too much of a leap to expect someone as young as Dalvin to make a full recovery. That said, always need tail-back depth and I think Jet is a FA after this year?
