In theory that's a strategy in the secondary that can result in more turnovers, but it's dependent on the front 7 getting pressure. If there's no pressure then you can read the QB all you want, but he'll have time to look off the defenders and find a guy wide open.
Sure enough on that play Murphy does a good job of knifing in to get initial pressure on McCown but he doesn't get home, McCown escapes, buys himself all kinds of time, looks off the secondary and finds the target for a TD.
It's more aggressive, which I like. Reading the eyes means earlier breaks on the ball and more INTs. But if there's no pressure it will mean more big plays given up, that's the part you have to live with.
Good thing we signed JUNIOR GALETTE.

His losing confidence after an INT still puzzles me because he was great at leading late game comebacks in college. I thought he had ice in his veins. That's one of the reasons I was happy when we drafted him.
Not to get too touchy-feely but sometimes I wonder if he's being being handled the right way by Gruden.
One thing that really jumps out at me is KC has only STARTED 9 game in his entire NFL career.
By contrast RGIII has Started 36 games in his NFL career.
KC's interceptions last season behind that same terrible pass protecting O-line that RGIII also failed behind is not a measure of KC or RGIII's ability.
I am all for giving them time to see what they can do behind a better line this year and going forward. One thing I do not want to see is forcing one as a starter because of what we invested in him. The evaluation should be fair and even. That is all I want to see. A real competition. Not a mandate from the owners box.

Did everyone notice that RG3 was once again slightly hobbled on the one bootleg where he took a hit? He came up gimpy a bit, double hopping his steps. This guy is STILL not 100% and i just do not get it. Is he using bad mechanics because of fear? Is he favoring one leg and causing the ankle last year? I literally hold my breath every time he has the ball thinking he is seconds away from injury. Anyway, my point is he got gimped a bit again yesterday...my imagination?

Why do you care if he gets hurt? Not like a big drop off if KC comes in. Honestly at this point losing Niles hurts more then losing RGIII.

Kirk is the best QB on the team. That is, until he throws an INT and his confidence goes down the drain. Then he turns into the worst.
Maybe he needs to see a quarterback psychiatrist. I cannot remember a guy looking so good one minute, then having a complete melt down and then looking the the worst QB to ever wear an NFL uniform.

Quick thoughts-
o "1st unit" defense was underwhelming but then again its not quite the first unit without Ryan and a banged up secondary...DHall didn't look ready
o Did the S make any plays...seemed nonexistent
o Browns 1st unit moved the ball with ease
o Would have liked to see Griff get more reps
o Would have liked to see Scherff and Moses get more second team reps. Scherff at RT and Moses at LT
o Kirk looked good. Playcalling was more wide open and got more reps. Again this is puzzling for me..Griffin needs the work but doesn't get the most valuable offseason reps.
o I thought we should have drafted a TE somewhere and what do you know..Murphy's law.
o Loved watching Thompson step up and stick his nose in their in pass protection
o Matt Jones has some wiggle for a big man

Maybe Cavanaugh can be just as valuable on the sideline getting him right if/when he does throw an int
