Baldy's breakdown on Cook

But I enjoyed watching the line. Kline was indeed exceeding expectations. Bradbury. Ham with a hammer on the LB. And O'Neill still has that bit of nasty as he hit someone coming in to join the pile up. He is always looking for work. Love that.
On the first run, notice O'Neill cause a pile by driving the DT into everyone else. And then Bradbury slows the other DT just enough to let Cook outrun him and then he pushed the LB way down field before Cook runs him over.
Cook was amped up and he wanted to show he's back all the way with that hit on Deion Jones. LOVED IT. Cook has strength.

I think it's both. A 100% healthy Cook, Cook's preferred alignment with FB, and a scheme that fits the OL's skill set.
Healthy cook
He's doing the same things he was doing his rookie year before the ACL, and that line has been abused by the masses.

Jones is a tough guy and he got up slowly. He didn't expect Cook to turn into him like he did and he got taken off his feet and trucked.
Freeman tried to truck Rhodes in that game too...I saw them jawing and laughing at each other after that play. Must have been well after this one.
Cook had something to say about that run over Jones as well
