No idea why they have a guy better at press coverage playing 5-yards off. Unless the expectation is for the defensive line to get pressure and give him more time? No idea. He should be pressing/disrupting routes instead of playing off.PurpleKoolaid wrote:Cook looking like crap this year

Moss looks huge in comparison to Cook. It's only a matter of time until Smith hits Moss for a big gain.

Gotta echo the worry about Cook, he really sucks at this "play 5 yards off" stuff.

I don't understand why Chris Cook is playing Moss off like that. Thank God he's up and coming
Still I'm surprised that the game is this close. I'll sit back and wait for the other shoe to drop

I am not a Johnson fan but he was held which allowed the tackle, should have been a defensive holding penalty.
Come on Allen you again have not done a thing.

We should line up Jared Allen across from him to give him a nice chuck right after the snap.Purplemania wrote:In Cook's defense though, I think they should just let the kid play press on Randy...Randy always has the most issues with CB's who are physical with him.

It's Randy Moss. I guess the mentality is they'll give him 5-10 yards, but don't want to give up anything more then that. So far it has "workedPurpleMustReign wrote:I don't understand why Chris Cook is playing Moss off like that. Thank God he's up and coming![]()

Nice run by ponder
Re: 49ers @ Vikings Gameday Discussion Thread--Week 3
Ponder doing a good job keeping his eyes downfield on the two scrambles. Didn't see that last week.
