Not much thinking on his feet last night, more like he was just going through the motions of what they practiced and trying not to make a mistake. He did not even sniff what they were giving him. But its ok. It is week one and he did not play alot of preseason at all. Remember game two he did not even play a snap. He will come around.

I lost it on the 3rd down play where Cousins threw the ball out of the end zone facing minimal pressure from a 3 man rush and tons of room to his right to buy time for his receivers. He lacks the instincts to ever be a true franchise QB.
