Orlovsky is a good follow on Twitter if you like really good football breakdowns. He's smart and explains things extremely well.

We are making them think. When you second guess and not react, you are slower!!!

Absolutely, All you need to do is make the D LB's hesitate for a second, stop and have to reverse course and by that time its too late, and we have a big gain. The mis-direction we have incorporated has been excellent!

And then the linemen are making them corpses by cutting them down.

I laughed out loud on one of the first ones Sunday.  The one to the left that Cook started to break up the sideline and was just barely shoe-string tackled...  Right where he went down he was about to pass a tub-of-Kline whom was just plodding straight down the field like he was on his way to the buffet.  It just looked really silly to me at the time.

The screen at the 1:00 mark:

Lol, that was where 2 guys took out the lone LB and Kline had nobody to block.  Suddenly Cook is passing him and Kline has to find second gear.

If you just follow Kline on the play it's hysterical.

Watching that, it struck me as how smart Cook is as well.  On the pitch left down near the goal line, he picks up a first by stopping and avoiding the direct contact, twisting his body around to fall forward for the 1st.  Just before half, he loses yardage at the end of the run so he can get out of bounds while moving forward. 

He always seems to have just enough juice or lean to get that first down.
