re: Gil Brandt Tweet on B. Cooks - "an early ROY candidate"

This issue with Reggie in NOR was his rushing, not really his receiving.
Cooks is a WR, but will play a hybrid role, I think the Harvin comparison is legit.
With Sproles gone, you're losing Rushing attempts and Receptions. He averaged around 60 rushes and 75 receptions.
I think Cooks will get about 1/4 of the rushing attempts and 1/2 of the Sproles RB receptions and probably add another 30 all over the field.
That would put Cooks at around 15 rushes and 65 receptions or so. I think he'll break 1000 yards from scrimmage with that load and about 6 total TDs.

He is going to get more carries than most on here think. I guarantee he sees 10 carries at the very least. I say he gets around 15-20.

. He was not used enough in this offense.(which I stated numerous times during his tenure)
Really?!! He had 88 catches over 500 yds as a rookie to go along with many PR yards. Hardly underutilized

Looking pretty spot on I'd say.
So far
Receptions: 10
Receiving Yards: 94
Rushing Attempts: 3
Rushing yards: 49
Touchdowns: 1
On pace for 80 receptions with 752 yards receiving; 24 rushing attempts for 392 yards.
I don't think his rushing yards will be that, but he has a legit chance at having over 200. Receiving, he's about where I expected. He is as good as advertised thus far.

Oops,
West: 168 rushing yards (4.8ypc), 22 receiving yards, and 1TD (190 total yards)
