He'll get ten targets tomorrow night. 7 catches for 82 yards and one touchdown.

Jared Cook stood 15 yards away, tracking Aaron Rodgers’ pass. He wasn’t the intended target, but Cook was plenty curious.

He had seen the Jacksonville Jaguars’ blitz swarm his quarterback. He knew rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey was yanking Rodgers to the ground as he released the football. Cook turned his head, saw Jaguars cornerback Davon House grabbing receiver Davante Adams, and thought the play had no chance.

I'm sure hoping to see him get a lot more action against the Vikes.
I'm anxious to see what this guy can really do!

It's been one game, I hope the hell he's not frustrated by the lack of targets already.

The problem is MM was not reading the chat at PackersHome. We were all clearly asking for more Cook targets against the Jags.

Traditional the Vikings have played a lot of cover 2 against Rodgers, basically saying, we're not going to let Rodgers beat us down field. Which opens up a lot of shorter stuff, including running the ball, which is why Eddie Lacy always seems to have a good/great game against the Vikings.

But the last game they played, they saw the Packers opponents were having success with being VERY aggressive and playing close to the line and leaving the outside WRs in one on ones and daring Rodgers and the outside WRs to beat them (and the Packers couldn't).


It'll be very interesting to see which game plan the Vikings come with, especially with one of their starting CBs out for the game.

If they go with the aggressive style daring Rodgers and the outside WRs to beat them... I honestly might just put Nelson and Cook as the outside WRs for some potential deep balls to the outside with Cobb and either Rodgers or Abbrederis on the inside. Nelson and Cook could potential be in positions to make huge plays there.

If the traditional cover 2, then have Cook stretch the middle like a normal TE might... trying to keep the Safeties worried about the middle of the field, which most likely would help set up others.

I wish they had actually quoted the questions and responses for why it was written that he isn't frustrated about lack of targets after only one game. Assuming that was just the reporter getting the angle for the article. So I don't think there was really anything to that. To the contrary it sounds like Cook understands full welland spoke to the same points that Beast made. Even if he isn't getting the ball he still helps the offense by making the defense choose how to play. He knows his opportunities will come and thrilled to be on an offense that has actually scored points this season.
