Skins/Bills postgame

I was pleased with how RGIII played, but I was mostly interested in how Cousins was going to play to be honest with you. I have concerns about our depth at a few positions on the team. I think KC's teammates let him down a bit with the dropped passes, but KC needs to work on his timing a bit.


Also, wtf was it with all those passes going to Brandon Banks? All for naught too.

For some reason, Grossman and Cousins thought Banks was a 6'2" receiver.

Kirk Cousins looked like a rookie out there against 2nd and 3rd stringers. RG3 looked like a starter against a good Bills D. Yes it is preseason, but so far things are looking good. I am sure he will hit many bumps on the road, but I'd rather see this than having him out there looking lost and playing terribly.

Agreed. He looked like he belonged out there and I said that. As for Cousins? He was up and down.

Cousins needs a lot of development, but I thought he looked okay for a rookie out there.

Griffin looked solid. Not sure he should have said "practice is harder than the games" That's borderline bulletin board material for opposing defenses. I like the confidence but slow your roll a bit

Definitely didn't like the Garcon flip. No need for that right now

When we drafted him, I thought Crawford would be one of those "damn, he sure is trying his best but he just can't keep up physically" kind of players. Seems I've been wrong. Though it does seem to characterize Brandon Banks somewhat

I think the weak link on the line yesterday was actually the guy with the most experience. He's valuable as a reserve, but I'm not sure the team fully benefits from having Will Montgomery starting right now

Kirk was average. Work in progress for sure

I had the chance to talk with Chris Baker a couple of times last year. You could tell he was pretty passionate about putting in the work and he wasn't going to give up on being an NFL player. So good for him that he's doing so well.

He was a beast out there.

Cousins is a work in progress, as to be expected from a 4th rounder. But I think he's a keeper. I'm so psyched that we appear to have our QB situation nailed down for a long time to come.

Players who stood out:

1.RG3
2.Garcon
3.Crawford
4.Wilson
5.Rak and Kerrigan off the edge rush
6.1st team Oline in pass protection
7.Baker

Honorable mention: 1. 1st team secondary played well against a no huddle, hurry up, which threw 14 times against them. I thought the results were pretty decent. 2. McRib looked good. 3. Josh Morgan caught some tough throws

Stuff I didnt like:

1. BB playing receiver
2. Rex
3. C Griff
4. Eric Cook
5. Terrance Austin is garbage
6. Niles I thought was disappointing


What I like to see more of in the preseason:

1. Briscoe at WR
2. Alderidge returning kicks
3. Cooley at TE
4. Barnes playing at CB
5. Where was Jarvis Jenkins?

Evan Royster - Thought he looked slow. May be a function of the fact that (1) he did not see some holes; and (2) there were very few holes. In any event, poor showing.

I wasn't very impressed with any of our running backs. Morris was the only one that shined through, and he was going up against third and forth string guys.

I'm pretty happy with Mr. Fancy Socks, the future looks bright.
I agree the Garcon flip was stupid.
The defense looks pretty good.
I wish our kickers could have had some field goal oppurtunitys to hash out that position.
Why didnt Helu start?

I can't agree more. I really want to see more of Briscoe.

Just heard on ESPN 980 that Chris Russell is reporting/speculating (sometimes it is difficult to tell) that, as it stands now, Cooley will likely be released but then re-signed for less money because he doesn't want to play anywhere else. FWIW.
