Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

[12thMan]

Annnndd....Afred Morris told reporters he expects Robert Griffin to start Sunday.

And round and round we go...

If he's medically cleared to play I would be shocked if he didn't.

Regardless of whether RGIII or Cousins plays, we're going to find out alot about this team on Sunday. In years past, this would be a "trap game" where we played down to the level of the opponent. I shouldnt even say years past, becuase we played down to Carolina and lost to them. Good teams beat up the bad teams. Cleaveland and Philly arent horrible, but they arent good either. If we are a good team, we'll beat both of them fairly easily.

Not always easy to get a win, but indeed both should be wins for us.

The problem with the Carolina game is our defense cannot stop Cam. We have been terrible against him the last two years. I think our offense would destroy our defense! lol

Also RG III had his worst game as a pro when it came to his accuracy. If that was the only game a fan had watched of RG III all year, you would have come away asking yourself what the big deal with that kid is.

I know our guys know exactly what this game means to our season. They know what they are going to have to do to win. I don't see this being a let down or playing down to our opponent, if they honestly believe they are a playoff team they need to dominate all of the games left on the schedule.

BTW the Browns are not a bad team. Don't let thier record fool you. They are young and hungry just like us, and don't think they don't want to come out and beat the guy that they wanted in the draft.

Why would they have extra motivation, it's not like they can go to Trent Richardson and Brandon weeden and tell them that they tried to trade the picks to draft rg3.

It's not to far fetched. For starters Richardson and Weeden probably know that RG3 was the first choice for a lot of fans in Cleveland. I guess you could argue that they want to take the opportunity in a head to head match to outshine RG3. Then again that's a stretch.

The real reason would probably be that both guys could have gotten the chance to end up somewhere, anywhere other then Cleveland but because the Skins got RG3 they're now stuck in.....Cleveland. To me that would be motivation enough.

I really didn't mean the players, it was more of a statement of the heads of the Browns. Sorry to come across like that.

That really wasn't my point, my point is it will be a tough f'n game.

For those wondering about the weather. Looks like a 40% chance of rain and between 40-45 degrees.

At least its not a question of John Beck or Rex Grossman starting.
