Re: Lions vs Skins Game Day Thread
My post might be coming across the wrong way. I'm just trying to say that even if Cousins might be the better option for right now, there is no way in the world that Shanahan would ever do it.
Too much is invested in RG3, I think it's obvious. I'm just trusting the opinion of NFL guys and former players and coaches like Tony Dungy. None of them are saying RG3 is done. But they are saying that at this moment in time, he is not healthy, and he is not playing well, and it is causing damage to the team to have him in there like that. Year 3 might be different. But it also might be like when other mobile QB's have had their wheels fall off. It isn't a pretty sight to watch a mobile QB lose his legs little by little. I think of McNabb, Culpepper, Brunell, and others who have went through this. Someone brought up a great point, that if we get to 0-7, it might be time to play Cousins only to see what he can do, because by that point, the Shanahans might be gone and a new coach may feel that Kirk Cousins might fit into the offense, sort of like Chip Kelly did with Vick and Foles......

Re: Lions vs Skins Game Day Thread
I thought Haslett actually called a decent game. He mixed in a lot more blitzes. He can't force these bums to tackle.

Re: Lions vs Skins Game Day Thread
The Oline and receivers haven't been playing well. RG3 hasn't been playing at the level we expected from him, but I don't think cousins would do any better given the circumstances.

Re: Lions vs Skins Game Day Thread
It was a top 10 defense when we ran a 4-3. I've never been a fan of the 3-4. Orakpo covering the TE on the 2nd TD would never be the case if we still ran a 4-3.
