Johntay Cook Uncle Would like to have a word…

[OttoinGrotto]

Considering he caught 8 passes in each of his previous two seasons, maybe the uncle should appreciate the way his nephew is now featured.

rickie obviously is struggling and maybe not be cut for this level

That said, I think uncle is putting too much stock on his nephew getting to the league…

 

[anomander]

Yes, doesn’t make it right. Time and place. Say it quietly to your inner circle, don’t call into a post game show.

You think he's the only one thinking that, or if he's not hearing that directly from his uncle. Combine that with Gattis exploding on Rickie on the sidelines and the overall atrocious play it's obvious to everyone that he is not ready and was never ready. This is the frustration that everyone involved seems to be feeling coming out in the heat of the moment. Of course he shouldn't have said that, but it's a sneak peak of what's going on internally. Fran has his work cut out for him. I don't know how he looks at film and possibly sticks with him coming out of a bye week.

 

[anomander]

Fair enough. But it's uncouth, immature, and lacks decorum. They are a team, not just a "5-star WR surrounded by 3-stars". That's just tacky.
And to proudly announce himself beforehand as Johntay's uncle, and seemingly wanting to take credit for the kid being on his 3rd school, shows an utter disregard for how selfish he sounds.
So what if he's right, it still was wrong and puts his nephew in a tough position w/ Rickie and most likely the coaching staff. Stupid.

I'm certainly not saying it was right to do. It was stupid and uncalled for.

 

[anomander]

So b!tch to another family member, DON’T CALL IN TO A RADIO SHOW.

That people think this is acceptable behavior is really discouraging. What the hell?

I don't think it was acceptable. It was moronic.

 

[anomander]

The Johntay bashing now is absurd. He's our best WR by far. He was our leading wr this weekend and last and overall.

The two fumbles ? Whatever. One caused by a vicious illegal hit to the head, and the second caused by a great fundamental play by the defender to punch the ball out.

The kid didn't make the call. His baggage did.

Seriously, what did the kid do? Anyone who has ever been involved with sports know the parents get more carried away than the kids.

 

[MadNY3]

i would roll my eyes more if i didn't think he was absolutely correct

But calling into a postgame show to express it? Not savvy.

 

[SUforme]

It's sad it got to this point. One injury derails the season and now we have this crap to deal with ... uggghhh...

 

[TommyA13]

I really hope that this isn’t actually his uncle…

 

[JeffCuse]

Play Carney.

 

[Cuse On 3]

I hope everyone here realizes how stacked our WR room is. Losing cook next season is the least of our worries.

We need to continue getting better talent everywhere else, specifically on defense.

Byron chimed in

Yea this guys a loser. "I'm the reason he went to Texas." Sure thing Unlce Rico, whatever you say. Johntay has been amazing this year. I absolutely love having him on the team. WR is not a place where we're bare though. If Uncle Rico makes him pack his bags again, that's one spot we'll be fine.
