Cooks is good. I dont think anyone is saying he's not. And the problem is not his ability to get "separation", as all these clips clearly show. He's def getting enough separation and always has. Cooks issue has always been his size and his CATCH RADIUS. He's no Steve Smith, TY Hilton, OBJ, D-Jax, Edelman, etc. Those are shorter dudes have crazy catch radiuses.
Look at the placement on those balls. Drew is pretty much putting it right on Cooks. I've always seen Cooks as a straight line receiver only, who's average at best when it comes to RAC and making people miss w/the ball in his hands. That's still pretty much the same thing I'm seeing in NE.
