So the Pats Are Trying To Get Cooks, Bucs Possibly Favorites in Jackson

Yep. They would likely groom him to eventually take Edelman's spot, and until then he and Edelman would likely tear the league a new one as the sun settles on the GOAT's career.

The Saints are balking at the 32nd pick though, so doesn't look like we'll see Cooks cooking in New England.

Cooks isn't anywhere near physical enough to take Edelman's spot. It's one of my biggest complaints with him as a player, and the reason he isn't used in the slot more. He can run with anyone, but he'll catch a ball and fall over so he doesn't get hit. Literally just lay down. 

He gives you 0 YAC, unless he's running a 9 and he's in front of everyone. I can't believe they ever compared him to Smitty. He doesn't have that dog in him.

I'll acquiesce to your personal knowledge, but what I will say is that Cooks wouldn't have to be as tough or physical as Edelman to thrive in that role. Edelman has plenty of space to run in due to system schemes, Brady and immaculate timing.

Gettleman has said that his draft philosphy is BPA. It seems that his FA philosphly is to kick the tires of the ones on the rack and wait until the dust settles on the rest. (By kicking the tires of the ones on the rack - i mean the FA that hasnt drawn a lot of interest, ie. On the rack)

   He's never really had a choice before. We haven't had cap space to even consider any players at the top of the market. Sort of hard to have a philosophy when you don't have a choice.

Groom him? He'd have to have Edelman's spot the day the trade happened. Don't forget he's whining about not getting enough targets on the #2 team in pass attempts.

When you're on the Patriots, you shut the hell up, quit bit(hing like a bit(h diva, and just DO YOUR JOB.

So not having a choice means that he doesn't know how he would do it if he had a choice? Neither one of knows what his philosphy is, which is why i said "I guess his FA philosphy is"...

  It seems is not I guess. You were making your guess of his future based on a past that is completely different. That was all I said. And it was more a general statement I wanted to say to the masses that whine about everything. Shouldn't have quoted your post with the point I was trying to make. My bad.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
