Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

[12thMan]

Sounds like he'll be playing. "threw a pass behind his back"

wow, thats excellent news. If he does play, i see us putting up an early lead and being able to rely on Morris to run the ball more, which should lessen the likelihood RGIII has to drop back and have to scramble when our o-line can't protect him. Honestly, i think we could win this game with only 15 or so pass attempts if RGIII is our QB. Morris cant be stopped when taking snaps from the pistol (when teams are worried about RGIII running or throwing).

If cousins starts, i see the Browns being more effective stopping the run, forcing Cousins to drop back and throw more, which, with our o-line pass protecting issues, is not good for us. The more i think about it, i want RGIII to play, even if he's not 100%.

I think he'll play too.

I wonder if RG3 can go to the bathroom w/out the media reporting on it.

[12thMan]

RG and Cousins will speak to media at 1:45. Not sure if it's a joint deal or not.

Griffin goes for number two before practice, feels lighter and faster!

[RGIII]

Still have to see if it swells afterwards.

The smart money seems to be on RGIII playing. Since yesterday the line on this game has gone from Skins 6.5 point underdogs to only 1 point underdogs.

That "recent" Cleveland success has come in the form of a close win over Pittsburgh at home with Charlie Batch and 8 turnovers, and wins over the Chiefs and Raiders. I am worried about his game and want to see Griff in there but the browns are not very good, they are the factory of sadness.

That means nothing to me, our defense ranks towards the bottom and have played well when needed. Same goes for their O, remember the Rams, Carolina? Anything can happen, just being realistic.

Im just pointing out the fact that their offense isnt very good. That doesnt mean that I think our defense is either..,..unfortunately. But they have played better recently against better offenses.

[12thMan]

RGIII moments ago: I feel good....I was the happiest guy in the world Monday." Says he feels "really good about it" on chances to play.

Looks like the Browns are preparing for both qb's i would imagine.
