Tank vs. Cook

[JasperDog94]

I was wondering if people could post some info to compare these two guys. From what I've seen of Cook (from Jasper - I don't know his stats or his build) and what I've heard about Tank (Marlin) they sound very similar. Just wanted to see what you guys thought.

[BiG DoGs]

Tank is what his name says "TANK" at 5'10 and 195 pounds this boy can run

[southern_thunder]

Cook is 5'9" 260 lbs. plus and runs a 4.8 forty.
He is a real load to take down!!!

5'10" 195lbs for some reason does not make me think of the word "Tank".

It makes me think of 7th graders :D

This is Texas Football right?

Saw Tank play Newton in the playoffs last year. He was more impressive on defense than offense. Plus he was hurt part of the game because the Eagles were putting a hat or two on him. Cook seems more impressive, A real load.

the steamroller.

They call Cook "Cannonball".

What happens when an irresistable force meets an unmovable object?

He is a real load to take down!!!I think that forty time is a little bit faster! Maybe a 4.6-4.7 is more like it! He broke through a hole against Diboll and NOBODY caught him. Diboll's secondary has some pretty fast guys too!

Maybe you could find the answer in an advanced college physics text.

When Mr Cook gets moving watch out.It could hurt.

If you meant what happens when a unstoppable force meets with a immovable object the answer is...nothing. It would be impossible for both of these things to exist in the same universe, therefore neither exists at all.

[DOGcatcher]

What happens when an irresistable force meets an immovable object? Although it is not really a particularly deep philosophical question, it is a classic paradox. An irresistable force can move any object. An immovable object cannot be moved. Hmm. Makes a person think.

What happens in real life, when an irresistable force meets an immovable object? Well, there are no irresistable forces. And, there are no immovable objects. So, the question has no answer. We do not live in a universe which allows irresistable forces and immovable objects.

So, the question is hypothetical, as we already knew. Let's imagine a universe which allows irresistable forces. Such a universe cannot allow immovable objects, as that would violate the very definition of our hypothetical universe. Let's imagine a universe which allows immovable objects. Again, such a universe cannot allow irrestable forces, as that would violate the very definition of our second hypothetical universe.

So, an irresistable force cannot meet an immovable object. As I said above, we do not live in a universe which allows irresistable forces and immovable objects. In fact, no universe can ever allow both irresistable forces and immovable objects. And, the question has no answer.

[spiveyrat]

I don't remember hearing it as unstoppable... But, my memory isn't what it used to be either! :D

[PPHSfan]

Well the word "irresistible" means not able to be resisted or successfully opposed. It really has nothing to do with being able to "stop" a moving object, which is what I think you were implying. :D

The paradox he brings to light was the overall hypothetical idea I was trying to bring forth. He was just much more loquacious, accurate, and knowledgeable than I am on the subject.

I was simply trying to make a comparison of the two forces as an analogy between Tank and Cook.

[St. Ivender]

Why doesn't the irresistable force simply go around the immovable object?

[PPHSfan]

If you scroll up, I beat Dogcatcher to the punch in pointing it out as a paradox. :p

[PPHSfan]

St. Ivender:

Or why not just use the fact that it is irresistable to charm the object into moving?

[spiveyrat]

Look, I'm not going to bicker about who posted what first. I thought you had trouble understanding what I typed so I tried to explain it.

[PPHSfan]

ROFL

[Bongo]

PPHSFAN, so if Tank (unmoveable) came up against Beyonce Knowles (irresistable)would Beyonce get Tank to move, or would Tank be able to resist Beyonce's attempts to make him move?

I think the answer in THIS context is the unmoveable would move.

[crimson blood]

i am moved by the irresistable charm... and my head hurts also. :D

[BiG DoGs]

Man....Can you please stick to the topic and stop talking about the quote... and the nickname "TANK" isnt because of his size its what he will do to you if you get in the way... Thats what "TANK" stands for....

There are those kind of running backs that will try to run around you, those that will try to run through you, and those that CAN run through you. If Cook can run around you he will...if not then he'll run through you. I haven't seen Tank play, but I'm assuming that he's very similar. Just a little less of him.

Don't get me started ya little PUP. I was doing what we do on here all of the time. It's called, having some fun. When you have a couple hundred more posts to add to those 7 you have made, then you will understand. Until then, 5'10" 195lb? gonna do what to me? :D

Hell my oldest son was that big in the fifth grade. And he still knows who his daddy is. :D

[PPHSfan]

OH!

[Festus1]

OK. back to the topic at hand. I've seen both players this year. Smith is probably a better open field runner and a little faster. Cook is a better short yardage back and he is a real force to be dealt with. He can carry 4 or 5 guys 6 to 10 yards any time he gets a head of steam. The key to stopping him is blast through the line and get him before he gets rolling. He could probably sign with any DI school as a full back but with spread offenses being the offense of choice these days, he will probably get very few looks. I don't think he is the greatest blocking back either but his size and speed make up for a lot.

[PPHSfan]

Smith? Cook? What happened to the Tank?

[Wildcat81]

maybe he rusted away.

[JasperDog94]

Wildcat81:
maybe he rusted away.LOL :D

[White&Crimson]

Well I don't know how to quantify how much force is produced by Cook, but I do know that if you play Hungington at home, you will have to take into consideration the coefficient of sliding friction. :D

'Irresistible,immoveable,loquacious,hypothetical'? ???...hey...this is football!!!...Let's try and keep it to 1 syllable words, ok? :p ...And besides, the topic is Jasper vs Woodville..
Jasper 35
Woodville 7

[bearkatdad]

OooPs...my mistake...the topic was "Tank and Cook"...go ahead and use the multi-syllable words.. :)

Actually the a an rule applies to the noun, not the adjective, so I am right, and you, as usual, are wrong again. :D :p j/k and it is my second a that is incorrect, not the 1st one. LOL

LOLActually PPHSfan, he is correct on this one. The a/an rule applies to any word after the indefinite article not just the noun it modifies. So both of your a's need to be an's.

Interestingly, if the letter after the indefinite article is a "u" and has the same sound as the "y" in you (a union) or is an "o" and has the same sound as the "w" in won (a one-legged man)then it is to be preceded by a instead of an.

Compliments of my wife the English teacher.

[PPHSfan]

Ok, but can she cook and clean? :p

[next generation]

Tank Smith 1400 yards as a soph. Real shifty and shows power.

here is tank, he has had this name tank since he was little, was always a stong cocky kid.

:D :D :D

[MARLINFAN]

He has 538 yards on 39 carries this season, 9 td. he has missed the first 5 games of the year so u have your take on him

[MARLINFAN]

is cook a senior this yr. i have never saw him does anybody have a pic of him

[Bongo]

I hear Cook is so hard to catch, you can't even get a picture of him!

[eaglefan]

I have only seen Tank play one game and that was the Regional semi-finals last season against LaGrange. He had the most amazing run as he took a base dive play right up the middle 99 yards and ran away from the entire defense on a bummed ankle. I do not even think that he played the second half because of that ankle. He as such a low center of gravity as well as speed that makes him one of the premier backs in CenTex I believe.

[JasperDog94]

No doubt that both of these guys are an integral part of their team. I don't think either team would be goin' far without these guys.
