Rams Plan To Move Brandin Cooks Around
6 years agoLos Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team plans on moving wide receiver Brandin Cooks all around the field this year. "But I think, as we get more comfortable with understanding what exactly does Brandin do best, there's a lot of ways that we anticipate using him: moving him around the formation, not necessarily just exclusively playing the X, but on the outside, in the slot ... I think he's a rare type player. He's obviously had the deep ball production, but I think he can do a lot of other things as far as the short and intermediate game as well because he can beat bump-man, he's got real aggressive hands, real good step to the football, and you look at the way New England used him and even New Orleans on the jet sweeps and different things like that," McVay said. Cooks loses some value moving from Tom Brady to Jared Goff at quarterback, but he should still be plenty involved in the offense. Consider him a low-end WR2/high-end WR3. It could be tough for him to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight season.
