The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions

If the defense and running game look like this week in and week out, then wins & losses are going to come down to two big things: Special teams and Cousins eliminating turnovers.

If Cousins could ask for two throws back it would probably be the one that was almost picked (obviously) and the underthrown ball to Ryan Grant that is likely a TD pass if thrown to him in stride. (I can't remember that that drive ended though, did we get points?).

I still do have question marks about Kirk for games that are close and the running game is being shut down. There will be games on this schedule where he will likely have 30_ attempts and have to make plays like that nice throw to Reed, but more times a game.

However, until those situations come up, Kirk can continue to win with efficiency and I will be happy with it.

They only have 3 QBs on the roster and he gives them the best chance to win. There are maybe 5 QBs on the planet who don't make a couple of bad throws every game and none of them are one of the 3 QBs the Skins have under contract. Reality is probably a good expectation for Cousins. At least until he has more than 11 starts under his belt.

Good point.

I think both sacks were coverage sacks.

And when Cousins gets sacked, he's not getting obliterated like RG. Showing signs that he can hold up for a full season.

Oh yeah, how's passing on Leonard Williams looking like now? Sherff is what we needed and has been dominant. (Moses too)

Jeff fisher said our line is right up there with the best (dallas) and I have still not seen on highlight on the game smh.

I don't think anyone has a problem with Cousin's "efficient" style of play. However in order to be a contender, there will be times during the season that he has to take that play to the next level and expand on what his comfort zone is.

It is not an immediate need as for the first two games, our defense and running game did enough to hold the game close, but no matter how good your rushing attack is, you will run into teams once in awhile that are stopping the run, or maybe the run blocking is having a bad day and the QB will have to pick up the slack.

This is not an issue that needs to be immediately addressed as this team is not expected to be THAT kind of team right now, however that kind of thing is what separates a guy who the team is just biding it's time with and a guy who gets a long term contract and is looked at as the answer at the position.

When those situations present themselves, I'm feeling more optimistic than not, for kirk right now.
