The New York Jets’ running backs room is not opposed to the signing of Dalvin Cook, as some may have thought. In fact, they are fully supportive of it. Although Cook has yet to report to training camp, he has already generated a lot of buzz among his new teammates.
Jets running back Michael Carter expressed his amazement, saying, “It’s nuts. You can’t even get this good on ‘Madden.'” Breece Hall, who recently recovered from a torn ACL, added that he is excited for what’s to come.
Head coach Robert Saleh is thrilled to have another elite offensive weapon on his roster. He acknowledges that opposing defenses will have a tough time facing the Jets, especially with the addition of Cook. The team has high expectations for Cook, who signed a one-year deal worth up to $8.6 million.
While everyone is excited about Cook’s arrival, his role in the backfield is still uncertain. Hall was on track to be the Offensive Rookie of the Year before his injury, and the Jets see him as their long-term running back. Cook’s touches will be a point of interest.
Furthermore, there is competition for one more roster spot at running back among Carter, Bam Knight, and rookie Israel Abanikanda. With Hall and Cook likely to handle most of the workload, Saleh understands that no matter who is in the backfield, the defense will have a tough time.
Saleh describes Cook as a versatile player who can run downhill effectively. He believes Cook will cause headaches for defensive coaches, similar to how the Jets’ defensive line poses challenges for opposing teams.
The addition of Cook brings more excitement to the Jets, who are already in the spotlight with the arrival of Aaron Rodgers and the HBO series ‘Hard Knocks.’ The fans are eagerly awaiting the new season and the opportunity to see their new players in action.
