Technically no, unless you consider 6(?) quarters of football significant time in his rookie year. He missed very little of the Ravens game, the entire Browns game and very little of the Seattle playoff game. He then missed an offseason, training camp and the preseason, when he was asking to play, so really, this is the first time he's missed "significant" time.

Sure, the offseason after year 1 should have been great for his development and, instead, he was rehabbing. However, those aren't games, so saying he's missed significant time twice is unfair. He HAS sustained 2 major injuries in his 3 years, however, and honestly, most of the rest of this post is arguing semantics, but I really think saying "he's missed significant time twice in 3 years" as though he's missed a bunch of starts is incorrect. He's only missing significant time now.

And not because of a careless or wreckless mistake either.

As bad as Polumbus has been (and he wasn't great yesterday, although I've seen worse from him), Moses was a statue. On the first pass blocking play, I don't think he even raised his hands up to engage in a block - the D lineman just ran right past him. That was flat out scary -- I thought Cousins was going to be knocked into next week. How is that possible?

Overall, the time they provided Cousins was sufficient to crete some opportunities. He wasn't getting knocked around all day, and few of his throws seemd rushed. The run blocking was apalling (talking to you Niles Paul -- did the concussion cause you to forget how to block, bro?), although, again, going down 17-0 the Redskins understandably felt that they had to get away from the run game at least a bit.

Special teams? Sigh. Was anyone else screaming at the TV that the Seahawks were going to fake the punt? And why would't they with the way our ST unit has played? They had less than a yard and they weren't all that scared of our offense even had it backfired. And it's exactly the kind of thing Peter Carroll does.
