Cook, 28, says his yards per carry average is down because he’s not getting a lot of touches and didn’t expect his role to be this limited when he signed a 1-year/$7M deal with the Jets.
“I prepare myself. I work my tail off. I just want the situation to be best for both sides,” Cook said during today’s media session.
“Of course it’s frustrating. It’s new for me. I come from getting the ball 20 times a game. It’s something I’m adapting to,” Cook said. Regarding a potential trade ahead of October 31st’s deadline, Cook said those are conversations that he can have with his agent and Jets’ GM Joe Douglas, but he hasn’t necessarily requested a move.
Cook has rushed for 109 yards on 39 carries (2.8 YPC) to go along with 9 rec., for 46 rec. yards in six games this season.
Never really understood why they signed him when they already had Michael Carter & Zonovan Knight as backups.
