Bills HC Joe Brady clarifies threat of ‘consequences’ for Josh Allen’s $48 million teammate

Buffalo Bills HC Joe Brady had to clarify his threat of consequences against one of the team’s biggest stars after a warning went viral. Coach Brady made it clear that nobody’s production on the Bills can save them from losing their spot if they keep making the same mistakes, with his comments against RB James Cook, whose league-high yardage is only rivalled by his league-high fumble rate. After Brady openly said that there has to be consequences for mistakes like fumbles for Cook, he has had to walk the statement back in 24 hours because of angry fans. Joe Brady makes it clear that the Bills won’t stop trusting James Cook Coach Brady clarified his warning for Cook in his latest press commitments, reiterating that Cook might be one of the best rushers in the NFL and that he wants the 27-year-old to stop being timid. “I don’t want you to think I’m going to stop giving James Cook the ball… I don’t want James running any more timid. He’s playing outstanding. I don’t know if anyone is running the ball better.” While the No. 1 offensive weapon on the Bills will always be Josh Allen as one of the best dual-threat QBs in the NFL, having a hand-off option like Cook allows the Bills to confuse opponents and allows Cook to exploit open space for maximum yardage. After fans took issue with Brady threatening one of the most productive players on the team, it’s understandable why Brady had to clarify the initial comments. What did Bills HC Joe Brady say about James Cook? In an interview after their 37-34 OT win over the Los Angeles Rams, Brady seemed dismayed with Cook after he nearly cost the Bills the win with a lost fumble in OT. “Right now, we are putting the ball in harm’s way… James put the ball on the ground. He is doing so many great things running the football; I don’t want to lose sight of that. But we are putting the ball on the ground, and it’s negating the positives. At some point, there need to be consequences when we are putting negative stuff out there… It’s gotta improve, or the carries are going to decrease.” Cook has 95 carries on the season for 532 yards and five rushing touchdowns. Unfortunately, Cook has also registered four fumbles (two lost) in five games this season, with his 11 fumbles since the start of last season being the most for any non-QB player. ‘I will hit you’ – NFL legend explains how Skip Bayless lost his respect after heated debate Mike Tomlin tells Travis Kelce why he can’t say NFL player’s name who ‘sends shivers down his spine’ Joe Buck and Troy Aikman’s ‘unspoken tension’ over $108 million ESPN contract led to an argument
