The guy is ready to be a starter! He's a bigger target...and he's tough. Reynolds needs to be on the field more. Especially in th and s Dallas game.
IT'S TIME!!!

At this point sure, Cooks has been pretty non-existent.
That makes Cooks the most overpaid backup WR in the history of football...but yea I agree with you Reynolds needs those targets.
I wish there was a better way to get out of Cooks contract outside of him retiring. Hopefully he comes to his senses and hangs up his cleats because there is no way his brain is 100% and he's risking so much every time he goes out there.

Yeah it needs to happen. Accountability. The Rams have to enforce their standards. Otherwise it's mayhem and guys taking snaps off and doing things wrong all over the field.

Brandon Cooks last I checked was a human and was injured. He’s back and the team is being cautious. But how does his contract effect anything on the field this year? And Reynolds is getting increased targets. Why does this thread even exist? To promote what is already happening or to hammer Cooks contract.
Man you guys are tough on our Rams this year. Why? I have no f’ing clue.
I hope Cooks goes off next week

Not knocking Cooks at all. Even though he screwed up big time against Seattle costing Goff an int. There are many sets of 3 or 4 WRs. I'm simply making the point to target Reynolds more. Many ways to do that...slot WR or WR1 or 2....JUST DO IT...even more than is happening now!
The guy is a monster after the catch...get him out there more!
Cooks is still an awesome receiver. But let's be honest, there's a reason he was traded from two great offenses before he landed in LA. Dude is small, and I mean smaller than most receivers. Reynolds targets are increasing regardless. But Reynolds was known for being a vertical threat coming out of college. It is not unreasonable to change parts on a car if one isn't as efficient as the others.
Cook's size makes him susceptible to concussions and losing bouts in press coverage. He's a burner, but who says you need one? Wouldn't you rather have a guy who makes 50/50 balls into 80/20 balls on contested catches when nobody is open? Rams can stay the course with him. No knee jerk reaction neccessary. But I'd like to see Reynolds get the opportunity on some of those deep balls to Cooks.
Cooks takes the top off the defense, something I don't think Reynolds has shown to do as well. Even if Cooks isn't getting the targets, hes opening things up for the receivers underneath.
Once teams start biting on the underneath stuff again, Cooks will get his. Watch for it.

Bob Woods has done it on occasion and I believe is capable.
He's usually on the intermediate route. He excels there, whereas I don't really want Cooks going across the middle.
Watch the Seattle game. On plenty occasions, Cooks traveled with a corner and the safety help over the top. This left Woods, Kupp, Higbee, etc open underneath.
thing is Cooks is a luxury. We could have drafted a pure speed guy in the 3rd round instead of giving up a 1st and a ginormous contract. Honestly he is is the 3rd best receiver we have or maybe even 4th best after Reynolds. He cant go over the middle because of the concussions and has iffy hands and poor size. His speed is elite and thats all. He cant even return kicks.

Reynolds doesn't have Cooks speed but he's no slouch either and he has a bigger catch radius. Then there's 50/50 balls...he has height and length.
The point is...there's room for all these guys based on what you're trying to do. The fact is Reynolds is tall, strong and hard to bring down. McVay's getting him out there, but it needs to be more. Even Goff is getting more comfortable throwing to him.
Spread the wealth more and play them all!!! It reminds me of the Holt, Bruce, Proehl and Az Hakim days!!!
Reynolds was the #2 WR against SEA, I believe he played 65% of the snaps. Kupp only played 40%..
Not sure you get the numbers Cooks has in his career if this is true. Cooks his elite speed and quickness. He has strong hands but limited catch radius. He is an excellent route runner, but has a limited route tree because he's a bit stiff in the hips.
Just saying.
He was more effective when Goff had time in the pocket to let the route develop or throw it deep. He’s not a bad receiver-he’s just limited. Kupp and Woods are much better short and intermediate targets not to mention we are using the tight ends way more now. Cooks still stretches the field so it makes it easier for other guys to get open, however we shouldnt be paying $16 mil/yr on a decoy. Maybe we can trade him for OBJ in the off-season lol

Mcvay said all four of the wrs will get time on the field so they can stay fresh throughout the game.
Also will use the 12 personnel as well so everyone will get theirs.
We all don't want to see what happened in the superbowl ever again. We saw it all season long before mcvay decided to change things up. Let's hope he keeps doing it.

I believe Reynolds replaces Cooks more and more as the season progresses. As far as stretching the field, I think Thomas is more than capable of filling that need.
