This is a fair evaluation in a lot of ways.  The coaches probably view Cook as "safe", a guy who can move the ball, make the right reads and most importantly won't turn the ball over (though six is a little high IMO, Rhefuss only has five).  If the argument for why he's not producing is he's not playing the right position, then if you trust him that much you have to move him to attack if a spot is available.  I think thats probably the logic the coaches are taking if they decide to move him/why they are still playing him.

That said I don't agree with it. I don't really buy the playing out of position business - the staff has inverted him a ton and he's had plenty of chances behind the goal. He's simply making the same mistakes and showing the same issues that he was last year - he can't shake his man and his size allows him to be pushed around. He still shoots too soon coming from around GLE and doesn't give himself the best angle, and in general it looks like he panics and takes shots too quickly, or shoots it right at the goalie.  As Parcells would say, you are what your record is, and I can't remember a player like Cook getting that much time and producing so little. I have to imagine Fiorni and Magnan move on after this year? And Max Rosa?
