re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Is it just me or did others think what he was trying to convey about race was that he doesn't want to be constantly compared in the media to other black qb's and not ALL QBs?

It seemed IMHO that he was trying to say he doesn't want to be only defined by the color of his skin. We are all people period. We should be compared to all of our peers and looked at the same way. Why is there always race issues brought up as if they are race issues. The media shouldn't help perpetuating things by covering this stuff or even offering personal options. Let the story die or just leave it in print if some one must write an essay. There is more context in most articles at times and more thought put into a pice of writing as it isn't a fly by the seat of your pants tv show. Anyway done with my rant. ( the whole segement really irked me )


I am of the belief RG III plays Sunday to continue this great run he helped to spark.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Rob Parker is an IDIOT! That's y he was fired from the Detroit Press and yes he's racist. He's also said Tiger Woods needs to act more black

This thread is making me sea sick. Back n forth between topics. Lol. Can we just chalk the comments from whats his name up to absurd. Any talk at all what so ever about what being black means entails that it means something other thAn the color of your skin and is really not worth the price of the cyber space it takes up.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

[quote=ethat001;975253]Agree completely, great post. (except about Cousins running -- really?)

1) Morris is a great back, but without RG3 they'd stack the box on him.
2) On passing downs, hard to imagine Cousins success w/o max protect.

People always seem to forget when they talk about our offense / O-line / RB. Clearly we benefit greatly from the scheme, and RG3. If we play "straight up", with a traditional offense, I think we could regress back to last year with Beck/Rexy. Really really hope RG3 plays this game & stays healthy for the playoffs. Yes, the playoffs.


Couple of scary stats:
1) Logan Paulson has the lowest pass blocking efficiency of all [URL="https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/12/12/32-observations-week-14/"]tight ends[/URL]

2) Tyler Polumbus is the 7th worst pass blocking efficiency of all [URL="https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/11/28/sig-stat-snapshot-pass-blocking-efficiency/2/"]offensive linemen[/URL].



Still really need to upgrade O-line. I'm hoping Compton learns quickly to hold up the RT spot, and maybe a couple of other late round gems next draft.[/quote]Agreed running Griffin in the Pistol hides our OL weakness in pass pro.

How are Hurt, LeRibeus, and Gettis developing? Could they step up this year or maybe next season?

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Rob Parker isn't doing himself any favors for his career. He needs to have a coke and a smile and stfu....


As far as Griffin III goes, the young man is leading the NFL in QB passer rating.

Robert Griffin III: 104.2

Tom Brady: 104.2

Alex Smith: 104.1

Aaron Rodgers: 103.7

He is the Washington Redskins QB, nothing else really matters to me![/quote]

That my basic feeling too, but it seems odd that someone is considered inherently less black based off the way they vote.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

So like I said before let's drop the Rob Parker talk and get back to talking about Sunday's game.

I posted this right before the comments blew the thread up. As was said, stats don't show everything, and mainly the stats favor us, but we need to put the effort on the field.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

So NFLN basically said something which we pretty much knew, but that a doctor said that RG3 won't be able to run on a sprained LCL this week. We shall see.

Don't expect to see many read options this week

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

We shall see what happens. I agree though not many runs by Griffin if he plays.

Will be interesting to see how he handles the way he plays the game if he isn't 100%. I am sure he did it in college from time to time, but I don't watch or follow much Baylor football.

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;975274]Don't expect to see many read options this week[/QUOTE]

Nope. A whole lot of screens though.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

I'm usually right about everything, and you will still see a lot of read options this week if RG3 plays.. Now, if he actually runs from the option or just hands the ball off and throws from it will not surprise me, but I highly doubt that Kyle just removes one of our deadliest aspects of our offense out of the playbook against the Browns. You still have to approach the defense and make them aware of the threat.

Kyle said it himself.. If he feels like RG3 can't protect himself, then he wont play. I'm pretty confident that RG3 on one leg is more mobile then 95% of the QB's in the NFL.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns
 

Haha..how in the hell can a doctor, any doctor, say with certainty whether or not RGIII will be able to run?

The only person who knows that is Robert and we won't know find out until Sunday @1 PM.

This would be true regardless if RGIII was playing or not. RGIII doesn't need the reps as much as Cousins, and it will be good to have both ready to go.

Rob Parker is out of touch. Having a white girlfriend is not uncommon in DC, does not factor in questioning your blackness. Hell I'm black an I question those basketball wives blackness. Hey RG3 gets props cause you don't see his fiancee doing stuff like the link below. Second of all 22 growing up loving Michael jackson and beat boxing. His whole family from New Orleans, he went to high school and college in Texas. Yeah, no question he is of the African American culture. He wants no excuses when people say he the best. Because he is the best. The things he describe as far as his heroes and things he like sound exactly like my 22 year old family members. Yeah some still have braids, some grew dreads, but all had braids for a long time. Rob Parker is a cornball wanna be.
