Bills HC Joe Brady Vows There Will Be Consequences for RB James Cook

Bills coach Joe Brady hinted if star RB James Cook continues to fumble, he could see his touches per game significantly affected.

Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady is concerned about running back James Cook's performance, specifically his high number of turnovers. Cook has fumbled four times this season, including twice in a recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and his fumble rate has been a growing issue for the team. Last year, Cook fumbled eleven times in his last 23 games, and this trend is concerning head coach Joe Brady.

Brady acknowledges Cook's strong running ability, ranking third in the NFL with 532 yards this season, but he emphasizes that turnovers are what ultimately lead to losses. Brady warns that Cook's continued struggles with the ball could result in reduced playing time for the star player. The Bills are having ongoing discussions with Cook about the issue, but it is clear that negative outcomes will have consequences.

If necessary, the team could turn to backups Ray Davis and Ty Johnson, or Frank Gore Jr., who have shown they can step in and contribute.
