Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns

Stoney could make a return to Washington, I didn't know he got released by NE.

Tight end options (other than Cooley) that make sense for 'Skins | Comcast SportsNet Washington

His losing confidence after an INT still puzzles me because he was great at leading late game comebacks in college. I thought he had ice in his veins. That's one of the reasons I was happy when we drafted him.

Not to get too touchy-feely but sometimes I wonder if he's being being handled the right way by Gruden.

One thing that really jumps out at me is KC has only STARTED 9 game in his entire NFL career.
By contrast RGIII has Started 36 games in his NFL career.
KC's interceptions last season behind that same terrible pass protecting O-line that RGIII also failed behind is not a measure of KC or RGIII's ability.
I am all for giving them time to see what they can do behind a better line this year and going forward. One thing I do not want to see is forcing one as a starter because of what we invested in him. The evaluation should be fair and even. That is all I want to see. A real competition. Not a mandate from the owners box.

Did everyone notice that RG3 was once again slightly hobbled on the one bootleg where he took a hit? He came up gimpy a bit, double hopping his steps. This guy is STILL not 100% and i just do not get it. Is he using bad mechanics because of fear? Is he favoring one leg and causing the ankle last year? I literally hold my breath every time he has the ball thinking he is seconds away from injury. Anyway, my point is he got gimped a bit again yesterday...my imagination?

This. When Cousins is "on", things just seem to move more smoothly and efficiently then with RGIII. Unfortunately, once he is "off", he goes way, way off. You can practically see him melt under pressure.

The 49ers do have many TE's available.

Should 49ers try and trade tight ends to Washington? - Niners Nation

Yes, they should trade a TE to the Redskins. One who can block.

From the article: "Garrett Celek is a capable blocker who can do a little something in the passing game". This guy sounds about right.

Maybe he needs to see a quarterback psychiatrist. I cannot remember a guy looking so good one minute, then having a complete melt down and then looking the the worst QB to ever wear an NFL uniform.

Maybe Cavanaugh can be just as valuable on the sideline getting him right if/when he does throw an int

KC had a couple of real bad quarters of football. Expected from a player with limited starts. Peyton threw 28 picks his first year. Drew Brees has had some big int years. Romo and Luck same deal. The difference is those organizations let their qb's play through their mistakes. KC wasn't given that opportunity and may never get that here. Not with Snyder insisting that Griffin be handed the job after two years of sub par play. Had Shanahan been given more time here, KC would have at least had a chance to compete for the job.

And he still had more TDs than INTs. 10 to 9.

This is a smart post right here. I agree completely. Dan Snyder has decided that RG3 is the starter no matter what, just like always. Kirk Cousins for being in the league 4 years has had very little actual playing time.

I still believe he should be the starter.....

With Kirk, he was extremely decisive, something he always is. But the sample size here is small. The problem with Kirk was never decisiveness and knowing the offense, the problem is turnovers. He's prone to INTs - bad ones.

This sample size is too small to conclude that he's taken steps to eliminate those.

Gotta say, can't wait to see what we look like with Desean Jackson in the lineup. The play action passing game was working because of the run success. And with Jackson's speed you don't even need the safety to bite, all it takes is a tiny nibble, a tiny hesitation, and Jackson will toast him every time.

I like our chances at getting Jackson for several very long TD bombs on play action fakes.

Crowder too...speed guy in the slot with djax on the outside?

I really got on Roberts last night after the fumble but damn if he didn't look great at receiver. I think Ryan grant is gonna be a starter in the league. Our wr corp is strong.



I think we still got something's to work out in our interior oline.
