It'd be easier had 'Bad Brady' not showed up against Wake.
And it typically doesn't take any time at all to know if/when Cook has decided to pull into his shell on any given day. You knew in the first quarter that it was one of those 2014 Alex Smith games in the making.
If he doesn't hit a downfield pass early, he just shows no interest at all in pushing the ball. And then Drink seems to steer into the skid and starts getting hyper-conservative in the play-calling.
I mean hell, if you're gonna do that, at least roll out the playbook from that insane Danario Alexander season when Yost seemed to realize that Gabbert was staring at the rush as soon as the ball was snapped so it was just bubble screen left, bubble screen right to Danario Alexander every play.
You telling me Luther Burden couldn't do that for a game?
Nothing will ever match the agony of the 2019 Tigers (a broader array of hideous ass games you will never see; the last season I had my STs because it was just miserable), but when Cook shuts it down early, they're an awfully tough team to watch because there's just seemingly no way to pull him out of Alex mode.
