Good start and finish for Redskins’ McCoy but issues in between | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

Ok, I get that the first week. The second week, you have to be thinking about options. One of the few coaching comments I haven't liked from him.

People still believe coaches in press conferences? They are probably lying 50% of the time.

So is Colt automatically starting against the Cowboys are will this be one of those wait and see how both he and Kirk practice? If Kirk was struggling in practice last week, I'm sure he'd struggle in practice this week.

I sure hope not. Colt delivered the win, so all his short-comings are over-looked by the fans. I'm not sold on the idea that he's really a better option than Cousins. If Gruden starts Colt, fine. But he shouldn't be handed the job automatically just based off the Tennessee game.


Some quotes from Tandler's latest article:

If you give McCoy five yards on that completion instead of 70, he has only 63 yards passing and his yards per attempt from an impressive 10.7 to a substandard 5.3. Add in the eight yards he lost to sacks and it comes to a net yards per attempt of 3.9

In between the TD pass to Garçon and the final drive, a span of about 24 minutes, McCoy completed five of six passes for a net of 10 yards and was sacked twice for a loss of eight.

Some quotes from Tandler's latest article:

So true. I would prefer that he goes back to KC simply because he hits big plays every game. However, he would be on a short leash.

Well in fairness, the plays called were all short and quick passes, not much downfield action for McCoy to complete longer passes. You would think Gruden will open up the playbook more for him after a week of practicing with the starters.
