Cousins will be starting, and playing at a high level, at some point, when rg3 goes down with an injury. Our playoff hopes will remain alive because the shanahans weren't satisfied with grossman as a backup. After 2013, well trade cousins for a 1st rounder in 2014.
Not sure how I feel about this. I hope RG3 can be the next Iron man like Manning and Farve honestly but he has aleady had a college season wiped out from an injury.
The knock on cousins was he doesn't protect the ball/ makes poor decisions at times. So he sounds like he could be Grossman 2.0. Certainly does have better arm though.
Seems like a nice idea though we could use the extra draft pick(s).
I thought that he didnt look good playing RB with the first team in the first game. But maybe it was just offseason rust.

Limited touches, first preseason game, patchwork OL, I wouldn't worry too much.

Perish the thought! It is best not to tempt fate.
Anyway, I went with Crawford. He apparently has good coverage and ball skills and he could become our primary PR if Banks doesn't make the team. Also, the defensive backfield is an area where we could use some more help. So, for me, it all adds up to Crawford possibly having the most impact of all the rookies other than RGIII.
No idea why but my gut says Keenan Robinson.
Whats the deal? I haven't been following as closely this year as I had in years past.
Hightower is still less than a year out from knee surgery, Helu has tendonitis in his achilles
Hey guys been a fan of the site for a couple years now, and finally decided to post. Surprised to see all the love for Morris (4.67 40) when the one big criticism of Royster is his speed (4.65)
40 times are overrated.
A guy can play fast even with a lousy 40 time. Just ask Jerry Rice (4.71).

Yeah. I remember way back in the days when John Madden and Pat Summerall did Redskin games and Madden would always compliment Gary Clark, saying he's a 4.4 guy but Clark told him repeatedly that he was truly a 4.9 guy. But as a 4.9 guy or maybe slightly slower, look at the marvelous career Gary Clark had when he was a Redskin.
Forty times are indeed overrated.

I'm liking gettis' versatility. he's got size issues but he's an all world human being when it comes to work ethic.
Somewhat related- Does anyone have a link - or a write up of historical redskins trades?
I'd be interested in seeing what we've done over the years.
thanks.

Liked what I saw in Cousins but he will not play this year hopefully.
REALLY liked what I saw in Crawford. Pretty sure he is on the team.
Boy, I wish Banks would make it easier to cut him.

after preseason game 2, it is apparant our DBs mostly suck....it is quite possible that Crawford may end up starting as a nickel after a month or so...he is a playmaker. It is easy to pick a RB or oline, but this kid could make our entire secondary better, I'd love to see him against starters.
