[quote=CRedskinsRule;975081]All the more reason to use it! He has a pass for 70+yds, a run for 70+ yds. All he needs is a reception for 70+ yards. (can he return kicks?)[/quote]

LOL . . . i think we need to use him at CB or FS . . . he would be better than anything we currently have at it . . . lol

No increased swelling in the knee. On pace to start Sunday.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;975068]I don't think it's an automatic win, but I feel we are definitely on the right path, and with either qb will get the win. The motivational quality of either playing for your qb that's hurt, or winning without him, will go a long way. Plus Garcon seems to be tracking the right way.

Just can't afford drops by anyone...[/quote]

The offense will be fine. The zone blocking of the offensive line in conjunction with the hard running of Alfred Morris will take a lot of pressure off of RG3. Because of RG3's sprained knee, I'm looking for Mike and Kyle to call more rushing plays than pass plays. Pretty soon the Browns are going creep that safety up and that's when RG3 is going to hit their defense with play action and go down field to either Garcon, Morgan, or Moss for a TD.

[quote=WaldSkins;974947]Why would they have extra motivation, it's not like they can go to Trent Richardson and Brandon weeden and tell them that they tried to trade the picks to draft rg3.[/quote]

I really didn't mean the players, it was more of a statement of the heads of the Browns. Sorry to come across like that.

That really wasn't my point, my point is it will be a tough f'n game.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Seeing multiple reports now that Robert's looking good, planting foot, moving around. Seems the knee is still a little tender though.

Barring a setback, I'd expect him to play Sunday.

About? No difference to me.

I continue to be confused by the need for all the races in our country to segregate them selves but also cry about racism at the same time. To me its as big of an issue as the long standing "traditional" racism that has existed. I mean a white person saying something similar would have been fired already.

I only worked "with" DP for about a year. I was a huge fan of his before I joined ESPN. Dismayed to discover what an arrogant, horndog he was. Not like he was doing anything nefarious (that I know of), but basically if you weren't a hot girl he pretty much paid you no mind. Went to ESPN a huge fan of Dan Patrick and hating Colin Cowherd, but ended up hating Dan Patrick and a huge fan of Cowherd (just talking about them off camera)

But yeah the Dan Patrick Show is outstanding

Oh no, I just read Skip Bayless response to Rob Parker question/statement:

That alone should get him fired. Hell, they've fired people for saying lesser things, and the fact that Stephen A. Smith came behind him and said the following says it all....

I'll be disappointed severely if ESPN allows this man to retain his job after this crap.

Well Stephen A. Smith still has a job, so don't get your hopes up about some kind of action.

[quote=firstdown;975160]So we have traditional and non-traditional racism?[/quote]

I think he means acceptable and unacceptable racism, at least when it comes to being what is viewed as PC.

It seems to be traditionally be acceptable for a black person to criticize another black (or even a white person) in regards to something that might demerit their credibility as a member of a certain race and it's always simply just viewed as "keeping it real".

When a white person tries to "keep it real", it's viewed as racism nearly every time and they are at a podium 24 hours later making a press conference apology.

Not to wax on wheter it's right or wrong, that's the way I see it and it just feels like new-age racism-lite. I could care less what race your girlfriend is, what kind of car you drive, or your political affiliation; it's all about how decent you are as a person and how well you represent the team and organization. I for one am pretty proud to own an RG3 jersey as he seems to be just a generally good person (also doesn't hurt that he is an amazing athlete on the field also :))

i take a daltonian approach to life.

"is she?"

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

You guys need to watch it if you want to comment on this issue. You are only getting bits and pieces from the articles posted, just like everyone on First Take not knowin the context or even understanding of the meaning of what RG III was even saying.

That was one of the worst all around segements of that show I have ever seen ( know that I have a very small sampling of first take ). That took something that was not a big deal in RG III presser and made it into something completely off base of what the guys was saying.

It was pretty infruriated by what they were implying the whole show.

I'm with you on Smith. I cannot stand listening to him talk about anything. He can't make a point without raising his voice and yelling. He often times makes good points, but it stresses me out to listen to him talk. First take is a joke of a show. I dont bother with ESPN anymore now that TWC has the NFL network

Woah don't put words in my mouth. There is no "acceptable" racism. I think the word traditional speaks for itself. We've had a problem with racism in this country in the past, in this world really, and that racism in its general form is what I am talking about.
