Brady says he will keep giving James Cook the ball while addressing ball security Joe Brady: “First off, I don't want James running any
more timid. He is playing outstanding in terms of how he's running the football right now. And I don't know if anybody's running the ball better than him in the NFL, but we're putting the ball on the ground. There's a fine line in terms of I don't want him feeling like he has to be scared of how he's running, and now he's not hitting the hole. But the ball security in the traffic, the double in trouble, and then the intentionality behind it. And I think we have to do a better job also in the look teams in terms of making sure that we're taking our shots in practice and making sure that we don't lose any detail. But he's aware of it. We're going to continue coaching it. But I don't want you guys to think that I'm going to stop giving James Cook the ball either.”

It’s getting to the point with Cook where you just can’t trust him to hang onto the ball, which is a big-time problem for the reigning rushing champion. He is the Robin to Josh Allen’s Batman, and if he remains unreliable, that will be a significant problem for the Buffalo offense ... He finished the win over the Rams with his third 100-plus-yard game of the season (111 yards, two touchdowns). But his four fumbles this year, two of which have been lost, are becoming a growing concern that can no longer be ignored.
