Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday

Is it true that Snyder was the impetus behind the trade that landed RGIII?

If so, that explains alot.

Shanny would have shot that down easily if he wasn't on board.

This is true. Mike Shanahan is pretty much the coach/GM/VP (not for long I hope.) He's one of the first coaches since Marty to have complete control.

Well I disagree, Shannahan has the last say on acquiring players. If Shannahan didn't go along with it, it would have been a contract dispute. Shannahan is proving to me he takes his power defined for him in his contract seriously.

Shanny is a complete control and power freak. There's just no way he would have let Snyder force a huge decision like that on him. Zero chance.

Well he is the owner I mean he wants to draft a guy that will bring in tons of $$$

if Kirk looks like Brady this weekend ill say fine good move. but if he stinks it up just like rg in this system with the morale so low it lowers his stock and demoralizes our other player. if we were gonna switch to cousins why not just finish with rg anyway and have cousins come out the winner of a training camp battle if they felt like he was the better player. more will come to light after sunday because if kirk kills it out there and we win, now its a whole new monster. i think shanahan wants that. im not sure what to think.

How is Kirk going to be able to look like Brady with pass rushers all over him as he tries to throw to receivers who aren't open?

I think this team has quit and that poor Kirk is going to take a beating.

On the other hand, if Kirk manages to play well under the current circumstances, then we've got something. I don't know why anyone would be worried about Kirk playing well stirring up a QB controversy. I could only be a good thing to have two good young QB's.

BTW, who cares what Shanahan wants? He's as good as gone.

I watched when Kirk came in for RG3. Polumbus let somebody blind side Kirk without even slowing the guy down. You know what happened. Kirk looked like Brady, sack fumble!!! Just like Brady.

I think that we have to be careful about an perceived "success" Kirk will have this weekend. I am willing to bet that the running game makes an appearance this weekend.

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make good sense. Of course we should want Kirk to play well. How could that possibly hurt the franchise? Would his trade value go up too much?

Whether we run the ball more or not, he'll still throw 20+ passes.

What I mean is if we win, people will point to Cousins as the primary reason why we one as he is the noticeable change, however, the offense recently has not ran Alfred Morris:
Against KC- 12carries--31 yards
NYG-11 carries-26 yards
SF-14 -52
Phil-22-93
It has been nearly a month since we have worked AlMo hard in the running gam.e

I pointed this out awhile back in another thread. It's like we're slowly phasing out the running game. Alfmo has had less than 15 touches in the last 3 games. And they don't do anything (i.e. play action) to try to open up the run game.

And why do they keep trying to have Alfmo run east-west a la the pitch play? The man's a brusier, let him run straight up the middle. That pitch play works maybe twice a half. Yet we call the damn thing about once a drive.

Sounds like a whole of a poor game planning going on.
