00:00Then one of the storylines for Buffalo throughout the season has been well, who's their guy?

00:05Shakir's been the lead guy

00:07Matt collins catches touchdowns

00:10But james cook also has stepped up. You know, you could argue if you were to give out a game mvp

00:16for

00:17Buffalo versus denver it could belong to james cook. It probably would have gone to josh

00:21But it kind of gives you an idea the season james cook has had

00:25Are you guys looking to back fade cook? What do you expect from him?

00:28How much rushing do you expect from buffalo in a game like this?

00:31Uh, I think they'll rush but again i'm back in cook in the receiving game. I told you 25 plus

00:36Plus money. I think it's almost two to one

00:38I like james cook to go through and you look at the performance again last time they played kansas city. He stepped up

00:44He got a lot of targets from josh allen. You could go receptions. I'd rather go yards

00:50I think you know you look at the receptions that and the targets that he got in terms of the short game

00:55That maybe goes into that bet but I still like the yards if he's gonna potentially

01:00Get four or five catches or targets in this game. He gets one or two catches. He could break it 20 30 yards

01:06That's the way i'm gonna go. But if we're looking receiving options, I told you I like cooper but tight ends all year

01:13We talk about it. What is dalton schiltz got to 60 last week against kansas city. They have problems

01:19Covering the tight end now, is it going to be dawson knox?

01:22Which always seems to be the security blanket for josh allen in playoff games or kinkaid?

01:28I would opt to the younger kinkaid. I also like a many-time touchdown today. That's the way I would attack

01:34I don't want any shakir any key on coleman. I'm taking a shot cook

01:39uh

01:39Also cooper and kinkaid. Yeah

01:41I was looking at the tight end position for buffalo's a chance to maximize and you probably want to go with the younger more

01:46Athletic guy as opposed to knox at this point

01:48So you'd lean towards kinkaid but I looked at last week and I said

01:51I don't know how much success mixon is going to have on the ground against kansas city had a lot of success last week

01:57So I do think that pathway to victory does include a lot of runs here for james cook also include

02:02When you're looking at it's if you could tell me to like a lot is like for sake one barclay 27 carries

02:06You tell me cook gets 14 carries today

02:08He's going through that number because the chances are that he's going to bust a 10 or 15 yard play

02:13Out of getting 10 or 12 carries is good and I expect four to five yards per carrier

02:17So me watching mix and run well last week against kansas city in a closer game

02:21When you know that passing game and more athletic quarterbacking here from josh

02:25Allen is going to open up that running game more. I would be buying into cook props. I think he has a good day
