Definitely good news there. I think the Rams should play it safe with Gurley, and just see how things go with Brown and Henderson. I’m not sure if Henderson would be used all that much, but I would like to see him get some carries if McVay thinks he’s ready. If not does Kelly get brought up from the PS to back up Brown?

Happy Cooks is playing this week. Looking long term and I might be in the minority here, but I think after this year we should try to move on from Cooks some how. 3 bad, full-KO concussions in 18 months doesn't bode well for future big hits. Also, after the two huge SB drops I'm not sure he's ever the same guy. Would love to try and go after AJ Green or OBJ, been hearing trade rumors about both recently, but not sure if we could make something like that work.

Cooks won't last long. He is getting concussions easier....look at that play...it was a normal play

Totally disagree. His head hit HARD on the ground while he concentrated on securing reception. Then head ragdolled and I thought he was knocked out...

The thing with Cooks is he always buts his head down when a hit is coming, causing helmet to helmet hits almost every time he makes a catch. He has had quite a few concussions and they seem to be coming more frequently. I know he wants to fight for yardage and show his toughness, but at some point he needs to learn to protect himself.

Good for Brandon; we need our Warp Five guy out there. If the Horns need an extra RB they can always throw a few WR screens to Robert, and let him do his thing.

Glad Cooks is ready to go. He gets the big yards. I got a feeling he will get a deep one this week. He opens things up for the rest of the receiving corp.

Still on the SB "drops" even though one was a badly placed pass and the other one he had the DB holding his arm down.

Oh ok...........drops.

This is a common play in the NFL.....and other plays don't get a concussion on that play.
