He's doing so many good things running the football, and I don't wanna lose sight of how great he's running the ball right now, but we're putting the ball on the ground, and it's negating all the positive... it's gotta improve or the carries are gonna decrease.

Brady threatens to reduce Cook's carries if fumble rate doesn't improve immediately.

Bills HC Joe Brady warned that Cook's fumble issues could result in decreased carries: "it's gotta improve or the carries are gonna decrease." Cook has fumbled four times in five games this season, leading the league among non-quarterbacks—matching his entire fumble total from 2023 and 2024 combined. Despite acknowledging Cook's strong rushing performance (532 yards, five touchdowns on 95 carries), Brady emphasized that the fumbles are negating his positive production and could cost games. The threat of reduced touches looms if Cook doesn't improve ball security.
