Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

His read option runs were successful because the defense was not expecting them. He labored to run them and no way that continues to be work. He gave up a sack for a huge loss.

He did have a long pass that looked good, but as usual he hurt himself without even getting hit.

If Cousins plays good enough to warrant a great trade offer thats reason enough for me to keep him as the starter. I don't see how we could even think to trade Cousins away unless we had another backup in mind for next year.

I dont care who is at QB as long as we are winning.

And in the end it should have been completed so who cares if it's a perfect pass or not. It was still a heck of a throw when you're talking about arm strength. Not only is it 60 yards downfield but he puts a heck of an arc on it.

I nod my head in agreement when folks are saying "Cousins had a great game and was a leader on the field Sunday against the Jags. Lets see how he plays against a team who will game plan for specifically him."

The real improvement with Cousins will he be less careless with his throws into tight coverage. Can he make the long throws down along the sidelines.

Cousins I think gets baited into throws sometimes, he must recognize tight coverage.

Saw something interesting on Twitter this morning. Sproles had a dislocated ankle as a rookie. So for those thinking that Griffin is headed for a wheelchair, not so fast.

lol

Would RG3 just go ahead and amputate both legs for those Pistorius bionic limbs? He would be unstoppable.

Apparently Vegas seems to have faith in Cousins; the line is even for the game in Philly. I would imagine it's going to change in the next few days, but the fact that it opened even is very interesting.

Wow, that's giving the Redskins way too respect. But remember, Philly played a tough road game last night so they have a short week.

We really don't need Kirk to get that much better... We need him to be more consistent and not turn the ball over... All we need him to do is play like he played last Sunday, and we will win football games... To bank on RGIII being healthy enough to reach is potential is foolish at best... And to trade Cousins? Simply absurd...

Great post. This pretty much sums it all up.

We could very well be a poor man's Seattle for the rest of the season: a top 5 running game, a top 10 defense, and not ask our QB to do much.

That's what I'm thinking. And that recipe could land us in the playoffs.

You can see by how they called the game and by the comments of Gruden, they're not going to sit back and ask KC to not do much. If anything, the game plan will be more aggressive.

If KC can do what he did against the Jax, against a quality team, I'm all for it. I'm just holding on to see how KC does against a competent team that gameplans against him.

I really don't know how we can speculate on how much better or not he needs to be, when we really dint know yet how good he is.
