00:00What's wrong with the Brandon Cooks connection and why does he only seem to run one route now?

00:05It's shifted to we do know what's wrong with Brandon Cooks

00:08He had a knee procedure after the game against the Giants. It looks like per Todd Archer

00:14He has now a knee infection that will keep him out at least the Pittsburgh game

00:19And we'll see from there. Okay, and

00:21Since the you know this morning

00:23The the name of Devante Adams pops up and then you see this and you're like, oh

00:29This all could be the perfect timing for stuff like this and then you hear

00:33um, Mike McCarthy say

00:35We're comfortable with our receiving room. My question to you Kevin is is that

00:40Is that using that as a way to say we don't have the money without saying it?

00:45We're comfortable with our receiving room. I look i'd love to have the player

00:49But i've been told we can't acquire him because if you think about it

00:52Look, I like Brandon cooks a lot

00:54I've been waiting for a year and a half for that training camp connection to shine through. Yep

00:58But what has been the argument we've heard from people? We thought we had it in the Cleveland game, right?

01:02We're gonna have the big touchdown. Yes

01:04So you have an amazing number one wide receiver one of the best in the league

01:07We're not going to argue that but some people would argue about the viability

01:12Of cooks as a number two wide receiver

01:14I know people have argued about Jalen Tolbert as a viable number three wide receiver

01:19So it already feels like you're doing the old rangers rotation where you need a four to be your two or whatever. Yes. Yes

01:27and now

01:28Cooks is going to miss at least a week

01:30Obviously infections can be very unpredictable and the thought is we feel really comfortable with our guys

01:36maybe they do love flooring and

01:38Flownoy and

01:40They were just like we just had too many good receivers and we couldn't get rid of it

01:43Maybe that is true if that's the case

01:46Why can't you get anything explosive going in your past game? Yeah, is it all the offensive line?

01:51yeah, you're just saying that well the offensive line is

01:54so poor

01:55man that well and

01:57quite honestly

02:00If you've you've watched the games if you've been watching the games kevin i'm not saying they've been great

02:05Did you even watch the game? Yes, I did

02:08All of them which one all of the cowboys games this year. All right, just making sure um

02:14If you don't at me the things that i've been seeing

02:17Have the cowboys can make plays in the passing game, but nothing is big downfield
