Re: Redskins v. Jets Gameday Thread
 

ANY Chance whatsoever that MCoy starts? Do they wait until the skins are mathematically eliminated, which could be a while in the weak NFC east? Or does Cousins get the whole entire year no matter what? With the division, it might not be until 8 losses that we are mathematically out...Which still means there is hope if KC can limit the INT's(they will probably always be there) to 1 per game, and the running game returns and steps up.....

[quote=skinsfan69;1125936]What is Gruden suppose to do? He can't wave a majic wan and get all his players healthy. We are short on talent with everyone healthy. When players start going down like flies it's going to hurt us more. We were competitive for a good part of the game. [B]We all need to remember that this is still a rebuild.[/B] The team sucks because of moves that were made BEFORE Gruden got here. We need to stay the course, hopefully get some guys back and win a few games, starting next week.[/quote]
What's the big? Like 14 starters down in total?
Come on Jay!!

Seriously....rebuild....determine who is workable and who is not......
Evaluate.....what our priorities will be next off season
Painful, yes! But has to be done

I don't about you guys, but I'm not ready to throw in the towel. When we get our injured players back, we will be a "much" better team with depth.

Totally agree..........

Why isn't McCoy starting? I've lost total patience with Cousins and his pitiful ineptitude....

McCoy won't be much better, that's why he's the backup.

Re: Redskins v. Jets Gameday Thread
 

I think what was the most frustrating to watch today was to witness the Jets run about as vanilla a offense as we did, if not even more, anchored by Fitspatrick yet they marched up and down the field in the 2nd half like it was nothing, seeming to run the same 2-3 plays over and over. All they kept doing was running routes and sitting down in soft spots of the zone for easy receptions and out defense never adjusted to try and take anything away.

The forced turnovers were nice and much appreciated on the effort-scale of things, but as far as yardage, the defense was just pathetic.

How many times did they run that same slant route and it went for 8-12 every single time. Never thought once to bring the corner up and create contact at the line to throw off timing. Little things like that.

Absolutely frustrating.

All young qbs who are better than cousins right now and who have higher ceilings.

McCoy played 4-5 games last season before he was injured. He had an 96.4 QB rating through four games. The only weakness McCoy has is a lack of arm strength... McCoy knows how to read the defense, extend plays, and make far better decisions than Cousins.....

I think you would have to ask what would be the purpose of starting McCoy? Is it to win a weak division? Undermine a young QB that has developmental potential? If McCoy was a viable option over Cousins to the point he was head and heels better I think he would be starting.

Well I would say that they have a superior running game, better wide receiver's, and maybe even a better QB.

So Cousins is a developmental quarterback? Gruden benched him last season for making the same reckless decisions....you start McCoy simply because he gives the offense a better chance to succeed as he showed last year .....

You have seen enough of these QB's to know they will be better than KC?

Mariota has played 5 games.

Bortles and Carr have played less than two years.

I have no issues with you preferring Tannehull over KC. I would not make the trade. I see him as a wash. Plus i would not want the 6 year, $96 million extension, with $21.5 million guaranteed contract.

KC played a bad game behind an offensive line that had a collective 17 starts between all five of them. His top receiver is out, he is on the 4th string TE, has a rookie for slot receiver and your 3rd down back leaves the game in the first quarter.
