Not sure how a solid coverage safety and good tackler is an issue but to each their own.

Reid was the one getting torched non-stop last year, not Cook.

Matty Lane keeps pushing the narrative that cook shouldn’t start. He lost some of his speed and range after the injury but he may well still be working through that. He could be upgraded but likely not for cheaper. He’s a good player and the kind of player that is the foundation on championship teams.

Cook was always late to the ball.....for a coverage safety that's not good!

Sometimes, sure. He's a good coverage safety. I don't know if all the success has tainted people's perceptions of our players or if they just don't pay attention to the rest of the league.

Let's just look at this statistically... No wizard metrics
Bryan Cook gave up: 61.7% comp, 397 yards, 13.7 ypc, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 6.0% missed tackles

Here's a listing of some of the better and more well-known FS's in the NFL
Camryn Bynum: 61.5% comp, 442 yards, 13.8 ypc, 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 6.8% missed tackles
Jevon Holland: 54.2% comp, 321 yards, 12.3 ypc, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 8.8% missed tackles
Kyle Hamilton: 72.4% comp, 326 yards, 7.8 ypc, 1 TD, 1 INT, 7.8% missed tackles - AP-2, PB
Budda Baker: 74.3% comp, 608 yards, 11.1 ypc, 7 TD, 0 INT, 9.9% missed tackles - AP-2 and PB
Geno Stone: 66.7% comp, 312 yards, 14.2 ypc, 5 TD, 4 INT, 15.6% missed tackles
Minkah Fitzpatrick: 78.8% comp 540 yards, 13.2 ypc, 4 TD, 1 INT, 4.0% missed tackles - Made PB
Justin Simmons: 59.5% comp, 229 yards, 10.4 ypc, 3 TD, 2 INT, 10.1% missed tackles
Tyrann Mathieu: 61.1% comp, 422 yards, 19.2 ypc, 1 TD, 3 INT, 19.5% missed tackles
Antoine Winfield Jr: 73.9% comop, 242 yards, 14.2 ypc, 2 TD, 0 INT, 13.0% missed tackles (9 games played)
Harrison Smith: 66.2% comp, 506 yards, 11.8 ypc, 4 TD, 3 INT, 9.4% missed tackles
Kerby Joseph: 44.2% comp, 330 yards, 17.4 ypc, 1 TD, 9 INT, 5.7% missed tackles - AP-1, PB

It sure looks like he fits in the better of that group, which includes 2 guys that made AP-2nd team.

Looks a lot like Camryn Bynum who was a priority FA and got 4/60 this year.

That is more in line with what I remember.

Mmm,.gotta say I thought Cook was pretty poor, but maybe time past that injury helps. Definitely the safety room is the secondary weakness now.

As long as we go buck wild on the DL in the draft I think we're good

Wow, guess I missed that. I thought Reid did a great job.

He dropped off hard last season in coverage. Statistically, he went from a career low 60's completion percentage against to 77.4% and gave up 502 yards. Easily career worsts for him.

I think name recognition factors hard sometimes, and we tend to look past the reality. Look at the AP-2 guys from last year at Safety. Purely name, not performance.

I've been as guilty as anyone so I won't pretend not to be.

[BlackHelicopters]

Never heard of him.

[tyreekthefreak]

2021:
Suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5, resulting in a stint on injured reserve.
2023:
Placed on injured reserve in December due to a nagging hamstring injury.
2024:
Missed two games with a hamstring injury.
Played sparingly in multiple games while managing the hamstring injury.
Had a knee injury in Week 4.
Had another knee injury in Week 6.
Other Injuries:
Suffered a groin injury in 2022.
Missed four straight games due to a groin injury.
Missed time with a bad hamstring in 2022.
Had a hamstring strain in Week 13 of 2023.

Our new CB....reminds me of that receiver Mathews who was never healthy.

Side note - Watson is also extension eligible. This would seem to set the floor for him, no?

I’d take him back on this type deal 10/10 times.
