First day of regular season is a crappy time to have a bad day.
Lets hope he learns and pulls it together!
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I'm loving everything this guys doing. On the field. In front of the media. There's no fading this guy. People are expecting him to be a "scat back" like Sproles, but I think he's just gona be a running back. We'll see how he handles a full season of NFL hits, but I'm beyond impressed.

I hope I continue to be wrong about Cohen (though my main concern remains durability).

How long before he proves you wrong, thunder? I know it's early but you have to admit, he's looked much better than anyone would have thought after week 1.thunderspirit wrote:I hate this pick.

He's electric. Even my lousy eyes can see that.
He's also 5-6, 180 # in a big man's game.

Darren Sproles is 5' 6", 190# and has been working his magic since 2005
it is way to soon to tell, but my hope is Cohen becomes Sproles 2 - the sequel
and if the extra 10 pounds is required for Cohen, then maybe we should send him ads and hints for Giordano's and Portillos for some deep dish and loaded beefs

I have to admit, he was impressive. Was kinda questioning this pick during the draft, but he makes the backfield much more dynamic. Of course over the long term, would like to see them lean on Howard more and sprinkle some cohen in. Maybe 60/35? That's including Cohen taking majority of 3rd and long and Howard 3rd and short.
