That's what he is on your team.
You don't want him starting, and you want him being a backup.
And it's nice to have good backup corners, and he's a pretty good backup corner, but you're not going to give him any money either.
No, but it'll be different next year because the number went up, I think.
You've got to factor in Cook's contract into that now.
It's not that bad.
Yeah, now Austin's sitting there thinking, well, maybe not.
I just think they have so many other needs that if you're going to spend money on a running back like that, when you can draft another one in the fifth round and maybe you can – you know what I mean?
Yeah, but – I just think their needs are – Go ahead, Pete.

I just think their needs are bigger at other spots.
I think that's the question everybody's asking, and I think even people in the organization have to be asking that question.
Because the bottom line is, something from point A to point B short-circuits when he's on the field.
Because there are moments when you look at him and you go, okay, here he goes.
And then there are moments you look at him and you go, oh my God, what did he just do?
And so...
Because, like I said last week, he puts the work in, he knows the playbook, he knows the calls, and yet we see this glazed look at times when the play's coming in and he's getting the mechanics of it going and he gets to the line of scrimmage and then he starts feeling phantom pressure at times, even when it's not there and he's getting out and he's moving and he's not getting to the second read.
And then there are moments when he goes, like on Sunday, when he had nothing.
And he played, after the interception, he played good football.
Was it great football?
