Any word if cook will play? Yes, I believe he'll get more than the 2 snaps he got last week. |

I hope he doesnโt play the entire preseason. He has nothing to prove. Give Boone and Alexander the needed reps.

I really don't think we benefit from having him out there when the game doesn't matter. Boone and Mattison need to continue to show they can carry the load. I am interested to see which full back we end up keeping. I like them both very much.

I am interested to see which full backย we end up keeping. I like them both very much. He has a lot to prove. Cook is entering his 3rd yr and has less than a 1000 yards rushing. Heโs had a hard time staying healthy and should get some reps with our new interior line. Some fans act like Cook is an established star that can take preaseaon off. To me the jury is still out in whether this kid is going to be a consistent producer. |

Last year before the regular season started he told the press.........It's on. That was pretty much the last we heard from him. Are you a running back son. If so.......prove it. Even I can run my mouth. |

Whether and/or when Dalvin Cook plays in the preseason is up in the air, but the Vikings are looking for the rest of their RBs to show in the preseason that their won't be a drop off when Cook goes to the sideline during real games. Yes, Cook is a three-down back and has had a 'tremendous' camp, but finding the right combination of backs to give multiple looks out of the backfield and fully employ a two-back system at times will be critical to the success of this run game. "I think the key with Matt(ison) and Abdullah and those guys, theyโve got to have the role on the football team and when Dalvin steps out of a game or takes his break, weโve got to continue to go," Gary Kubiak said. "We canโt be - OK, letโs survive until Dalvin comes back. No, we keep going forward."

With all the 22 and 21 personnel, I think it's possible we keep two FBs...not likely, but it wouldn't shock me... |

"Zimmer said he's made his decision about whether or not Cook will play Sunday but didn't reveal it."

"Zimmer said he's made his decision about whether or not Cook will play Sunday but didn't reveal it." Zimm is so tricky. Iโm sure thatโs keeping Carroll up at night. Itโs a preseason game, whatโs the big secret? I like Zimmer but he makes himself out to be a jackass sometimes. If Cook doesnโt play then he has an injury issue. All of our starters who were healthy played in game 1 and will play Sunday. If Cook doesnโt go then heโs dealing with another injury that the team is trying to keep quiet. |

If Cook doesn't play it's one of two reasons. Either he is hurt or the team is afraid he's going to be. Neither is a good thing. |
