If Nothing Else, Cook Is The Real Deal

[Guest]

328 carries is quite doable...

Holding Cousins to 10 pass attempts per game could be good for Cook and the Vikings

Cook wasn't 100 last year.

Cook=6.5 ypc
Mattison=5.7 ypc on 13 rushes

It's only 2 games and virtually  no way they can maintain those kinds of numbers. Impressive start IMO.

This team can pound the rock and play defense,  If Cousins wised up  they'd be outstanding.

I think every DC we face is going to stack the box and make KC beat em...

Cue Ponder/AD days....

the stacked boxes is when AD feasted... its when they laid back and came in waves is where he would have to start chopping his feet and the defense would over whelm him.   the stacked box to beat the run doesnt work IMO against backs with a quick cut and good vision.

Yep....you can look for that to happen on Sunday against the Raiders. But here's the thing....Cousins, Thielen, Diggs and Rudy CAN beat them. And once that starts to happen a little bit and we start to achieve a little bit of balance--something Stef was obviously trying hard to do last Sunday, everything will chug a little bit better. 

And one more thing, plenty of defenses put 8 in the box against plenty of other Kubiak backs.
