“He Can’t Do That!!” Cowboys Starter Under Heavy Scrutiny For In Game Decision

The Dallas Cowboys are certainly going through a difficult season in relation to what their expectations were.  Through their first seven games, Dallas is 3-4, sits in third place in the NFC East, currently isn’t in the playoff picture, and are winless at home.

Not at all what you would expect from a team who is coming off three consecutive 12-win seasons with much of the core still in place.

However, one of the veterans on the team had fans questioning what you can do on the sidelines.

According to Lou Flavius of Total Pro Sports:

The veteran running back debuted for Dallas on Sunday after making a name for himself Minnesota, where he made four Pro Bowl teams while on the Vikings’ roster.

It was hoped that he would inject some offense, given that the team has had the least effective rushing system in the NFL, though he experienced a significant dip in form after a move to the New York Jets, where he averaged a career-low 3.2 yards per carry.

Cameras caught Cook taking a swig out of a small bottle before kickoff on Sunday night, with one of the commentators claiming he was “getting ready for this one.”

Of course, fans reacted to this in many many ways:
