Through the first 20 minutes so far...
I overestimated how long griffin would last. Should have said zero games. Offense looks slightly better w cousins. Slightly. The good, he took zero sacks even though the OL again got destroyed. He knows how to check down and read defenses. He's fairly accurate. The bad, he still presnap determines where he is going. That wouldn't be so bad if he'd then see what the defenses actually does rather than what he thinks they will do. Saw lots of potential INTs. But I will take the INTs over griffin not having a clue about anything.
The starting OL looked much better to me, though it's hard not to when comparing to the dumpster fire last week. You gotta wonder how motivated they are to protect Griffin.
Your Griffin bias is odd. Cousins has more time because he reds the defense and shifts the protection properly. Griffin shifted the protection the wrong way a couple of times in the Detroit game.
Agreed. it is fairly evident cousin's did a better job with his eyes. I also saw him do shoulder fakes, drawing defenders, then throwing elsewhere several times. Subtle stuff that pays dividends.
I'm not concerned at all about the D. I think they'll be about average. They have some decent talent there and I'm not worried about preseason their performance.
Those five are locks to be on the roster. Grant has looked good in the preseason filling in for DeSean Jackson.
Your PR team gets a lot of stuff wrong. Has to be the worst in the NFL. Of course, it doesn't help having Snyder as an owner.
Snyder mostly stays out of things now as far as i can tell. But the media still runs with these stories because they get clicks and everyone believes them. I generally tune out all these unnamed source tweets and such but our PR needs to nip this stuff in the bud otherwise reports know they can take advantage and make stuff up to get clicks.
On hogshaven.com:
Profootballtalk.com ran the same article, citing an ESPN article. They subsequently ran this article:
I really hope this is a more accurate representation.if this ends up a case of snyder cutting off scotch at the knees after snyder has finally hired a football guy to assemble the roster and build the team, my level of frustration would be at an all-time high.Marvelous said:
I agree, and I've been hearing good reviews of the defensive talent and schemes from people far more knowledgeable than myself. Remember the secondary has been playing this preseason without Breeland. League average sounds about right.
lol
The option for next year. I can't imagine many teams would want to take that on.
 I'd guess it's the $16M option on next yr.
Looks to me like it's just doubling down of what she reported on Saturday. The only thing that has happened between then and now is that Cousins moved the team pretty effectively against the Ravens 1s. He absolutely should be named starter, and the sooner the better.
Griffin's contract is guaranteed $3+ this year, and $16M next year, guaranteed only for injury.
Why because we want to luck box 5 wins this season? This team should not be trying to do anything but secure the first pick in the draft. We're not an average QB away which is Cousin's ceiling.
You need QB play to be acceptable to evaluate the rest of the team.
What franchise QB will be available?
So what Franchise QB would we be missing out on?
Uhh....you are advocating playing to get the #1 pick. This seems rather silly if you don't have an idea what college player may be available.
I'm on record as saying this is a 2-14 team with Cousins at the helm. 4 is the ABSOLUTE ceiling. Bears are a team that is likely to have a worse record if the Redskins get to 4 wins (one of them being over the Bears), but I really see them in the running for worst overall and no better than #29. Is that too "good" to get a QB next year in the draft?
Looking at the schedule, it's tough to see more than 6 (and that is being super generous). Realistically, there's maybe 1 game you can look at and say they could be favored in and that's the home game against Tampa. I mean, we lost to a bad Bucs team at home last year, so it's definitely not a lock.
the GM is trying to institute a winning culture. sabotaging the effort for a high draft pick seems to directly contrast that goal.
