Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

Sometimes you can't and have to follow your gut, Djax is not doing it for me. He bitches when he doesn't get the ball, he was bitching at Cousins at one point today despite Cousins trying to make him the featured WR. I thiught Jenkins got the best of Jackson today. Jackson might be fast but isn't physical imposing, like Doctson who will be just fine.



Jackson didnt bitch at KC on the sidelines or anything, it was immediately after a play and he just sort of threw his hands up like "wtf i was open"? Good. He cares. He doesn't throw tantrums on the sidelines or sit and mope on the bench. He is a team player.
As far as football goes - ok he dropped one. Doesn't do it often. Plus, he takes the top off the D. It should be a stat.

All I was saying is if I had choice between Garcon and Djax, Garcon would be my choice. Let's not forget Djax in the playoffs and some of his selfish antics.

Just remember Philly let Jackson go during his athletic prime mostly because of his attitude and there were concerns over his character.

Philly let Jackson go because he outshined Chip Kelly, and for no other reason.

The Eagles needed D Jax more yesterday than we did. Someone that can stretch the field and open up coverage.

Garcon and Reed benefit a lot from just DJax presence on the field.

Excellent point -- I completely agree. Let's be honest -- if there were no salary cap ramifications, I don't think anyone would be talking about letting DJax (or Garcon, for that matter) go. They're both playmakers and have proved to be good teammates in DC. DJax has been hampered by Kirk's accuracy issues with the deep ball this season (Kirk should probably have another 5 TDs or so), and as the fly route is DJax's bread and butter, it will obviously affect him more than anyone else.

The Lions can be thrown on (and run on too, for that matter). Let's see what happens this week.

To that end, while celebrating yesterday's win is great, no one should look past the Lions. Their offense is humming, and they beat the Eagles, put up a bunch of points on a good Rams D, and nearly beat the Packers in Lambeau (although that isn't looking like the challenge it once was). Now they also lost to the Bears and Titans, and barely beat a pretty weak Colts team, so they're obviously a pretty flawed team. But no one should look past them because any given Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday)....

Boom, I think that's it exactly.

Oh we are no where near looking past anyone. We can beat the Lions but they can definitely beat us too. We need to be focused every game.

Did you guys see how far from the LOS the Eagles deep safety played? He was 30 yards off the line (looking for a screen shot - can't find one). He was never a factor in the run game - may as well have been on Mars.

I guarantee you he wasn't playing that deep b/c he feared Pierre Garcon's or Vernon Davis's deep speed.

I think it was Doc Walker who said yesterday that Kirk Cousins is on pace to throw at least 16 Interceptions this year. That sounds high but i looked at pro football reference and last season there were 4 passers who had at least 16 interceptions:

Blake Bortles
Peyton Manning
Matt Ryan
Ben Roethlisberger

three of the four QB's i would consider "good", and Blake Bortles the one "bad" QB, led the league with 18 INT's. Not sure if I can really count Manning last season among the "good" QB's, as he was beyond washed up, but he still did enough to win games.

I would be happy to see Kirk finish the season between 10 and 12 INT's, but sort of figuring he will throw at least 15, and sort of afraid that he may have above 20.. BUT - i think he still finishes with 25 - 30 TD passes...

Kirk will have 28 and 12 or along that line. He won't have 16 I don't think
