Still have to see if it swells afterwards.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

The smart money seems to be on RGIII playing. Since yesterday the line on this game has gone from Skins 6.5 point underdogs to only 1 point underdogs.

[quote=FRPLG;974747]Cleveland has a sneaky decent defense and has played well recently. Normally I'd say this was a classic trap game for us but with the RGKnee injury hopefully it has the team more focused on preparing.[/quote]


That "recent" Cleveland success has come in the form of a close win over Pittsburgh at home with Charlie Batch and 8 turnovers, and wins over the Chiefs and Raiders. I am worried about his game and want to see Griff in there but the browns are not very good, they are the factory of sadness.

That means nothing to me, our defense ranks towards the bottom and have played well when needed. Same goes for their O, remember the Rams, Carolina? Anything can happen, just being realistic.

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;974781]I wonder if RG3 can go to the bathroom w/out the media reporting on it.[/QUOTE]

I dont know, but I bet he is great at it.

Im just pointing out the fact that their offense isnt very good. That doesnt mean that I think our defense is either..,..unfortunately. But they have played better recently against better offenses.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

RGIII moments ago: I feel good....I was the happiest guy in the world Monday." Says he feels "really good about it" on chances to play.

Looks like the Browns are preparing for both qb's i would imagine.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

they said he was moving alright in practice today

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Said if he plays, he'll be wearing a knee brace like he did all of 2010.

awesome. im relieved he feels good. HTTR

Just watched some video from NFL network, he looked fine in his drills. Just saying.... Saw him run and plant throw with some zip

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

He'll play, he's just building the anticipation. Coaches get to obfuscate. Everybody wins, except the Browns.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

I think whether Robert plays or not, we're going to put a beating on Cleveland. But whoa Nelly if he plays. I think the team will be really inspired if he suits up.

And 70 yard ropes are heavy as hell

Our 5th ranked offense going up against their 23rd ranked defense. Our 31st ranked defense vs. their 26th ranked offense. Although the Browns defense is known to play well at times I don't think they match up to well against the Redskins on both sides of the ball.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Guys do not get over confident about this game. Every game in the nfl is a battle. We as redskins fan should know by now never to overlook any opponent.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Just watched his presser and Shanny's. I would put money on the guy playing.

Completely agree on the Browns and I am going to put the Eagles in there to. These next three games are all going to be hard to win. No easy games between here and the Super Bowl ;) lol

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

i keep hearing the commentator's voice from the final fight in rocky 3

"how can he come back from a beating like that?!?"

Well, he did.

"You're not so bad, champ. C'mon. Hit me harder."

"What's he doing? He's getting killed!"

"No, no -- he's getting mad!"

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

and I keep hearing John Candy from rookie of the year now .. "Somenody just threw a frozen rope from the bleachers to home plate!!!!"

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Sunday during the end of the game when Cousins came in .... For some reason I kept thing about the line in "The Waterboy" but edited so it made sense.

"Remember when Kirk Cousins came in at halftime and won the Bourbon Bowl!!!" In my heads best redneck country voice....

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Practice ended, and RG3 stuck around to practice some more. Think that's probably a good sign

That said, I still think no definite decision will be made until game day once we see the weather conditions

True, any given sunday. but as a fanbase we have to learn how to trust this team again. Not that their are any "cosmic connections" between our faith and their performance. But it is nice going thru the week feeling good about our chances. Any team can lose to any other - happens all the time - such is sports. After 20 years though it feels good to be alittle confident.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

i'm thinking this was a mistake:

"Both Griffin and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said they [B]don’t[/B] want to force the Browns to prepare for both Griffin and backup Kirk Cousins on Sunday, and therefore they’re not going to tell the Browns whether Griffin is ready to play."

Unless someone here is suiting up on Sunday who cares what our confidence level is.

Where'd the Steveo quote come from?

I love how the haters in the comments section keep saying things like "he'll be out of the league by 25!" Must be Cowboys fans!

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Love reading that nonsense. Just shows you how terrified they are to play him.

Just a freak accident. Didn't they say Flacco ran just two times less than RG3? Shit happens. It's not like we run 15 designed runs a game.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Annnndd....Afred Morris told reporters he expects Robert Griffin to start Sunday.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

And round and round we go...

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

If he's medically cleared to play I would be shocked if he didn't.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Regardless of whether RGIII or Cousins plays, we're going to find out alot about this team on Sunday. In years past, this would be a "trap game" where we played down to the level of the opponent. I shouldnt even say years past, becuase we played down to Carolina and lost to them. Good teams beat up the bad teams. Cleaveland and Philly arent horrible, but they arent good either. If we are a good team, we'll beat both of them fairly easily.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

At least its not a question of John Beck or Rex Grossman starting.

Not always easy to get a win, but indeed both should be wins for us.
