Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

[Gtothearry]

I got the impression from PG that he was giving the typical answer...."we are preparing for Cousins to start until we are told otherwise".

Monday?
Edit: not sayin i think Garcon knows anything or Pops for that matter. Just was wondering if we had film sessions or meetings on Monday.

It's very doubtful Garçon knows anything.

If he can move inside the pocket and throw he should be on the field. This game is simply too important to have our best qb on the bench if he is able.

Quoted for post strength equivalent to that of the ligament in question.

From what I've heard, Griff has a bit of a limp this morning but otherwise seems ok

I have had a strained MCL before, and the Doc told me that there was no risk of future damage just by working on it. That it would require a "new injury" for it to get worse. Is that true with LCL's as well? If so then its a pain tolerance issue. If the LCL can get worse by simply playing on it, then they need him to be fully healed before putting him back out there.

I don't know the answer to your question

From what I heard RGIII was hopping on one leg and making cuts better then C Cooley.

LOL! Post of the week!

I have friends who are browns fans. I want RGIII to start so i can say the same thing i said to my Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys fans after those wins - "you just got Griffined! Get used to it." Of couse, i'd have to cut out the second part for the Browns fans... still, "you got griffined" sounds much better than "you got Cousined!"

A bit of a limp is pretty good considering we are almost at 72 hours removed from the injury and we still have around 96 hours before game time.

Cleveland is ranked 23rd in total defense through 13 games this season. Whether RG3 starts or whether Kirk Cousins start, this is a game where our quarterback can have a bit of success. The Browns are simply not that good defensively. Add in the running of Alfred Morris and this Redskins offense can explode. I would rather Griffin III sit out this game and comeback healthier against Philadelphia. Cousins is capable of having a great game against this weak Cleveland Browns secondary.

Cleveland has a sneaky decent defense and has played well recently. Normally I'd say this was a classic trap game for us but with the RGKnee injury hopefully it has the team more focused on preparing.

Cleveland has a very good offense, great OL 2 Pro-bowlers (Mack & Thomas), great RB Richardson, good QB in Weeden and some nice young receivers in Gordon, Little and TE Jordan, their D is not too shabby either. It's going to be a tough game.
