Thompson didn't play preseason and missed last week. Our starting projected R B tore his ACL and a 33 year old is brought in at the last minute. The center is playing L G and a back up is playing center. The left tackle is coming off two knee surgeries and the R T ankle surgery. The R G is probably playing with a torn MCL . The only healthy unit ( knock , knock ) has been the T E's . Smith struggling-is it any wonder ? I mean, Cousins had the same (worse) situation with WRs last year...

Cousins is excelling away from Gruden and clicking with his receivers to a tune of 71% comps in a new system. And has no more time than Alex has had in for a clean pocket. We keep this joke of a coach. And give away a youthful guy that was coach of the year and ran the top offense in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Redskins almost always do better with washed up veterans. This washed up QB, RB & even TE in Davis are key cogs' to this successful season. I'm waiting with anticipation each week to see us roll to the playoffs. I'm loving this season. Haven't been this excited since Gibbs 2.0. Were currently doing what I say we needed to starting with Saints game. And that was winning 4/7 of the games, as they're all NFC &/or Divisional matchups. So far, were 1 of 2. With Cowboys & Giants looking, these would really be huge wins for us. Keep playing the way you are Skins. Run the ball, run play action, score early, build big leads, play tough defense, cause turn overs, do well on Special Teams, don't make any stupid bone-headed mistakes--Win game! Do that & we'll be playing in January. While you others will be ooohing & awwwing over Cousins football fantasy numbers & wishing he was still our guy. While the Vikings go 7-8-1 for the season. ?

You sound like a UVA or Purdue fan that hopes their team merely gets a bowl birth and is ecstatic about the Dollar General Bowl invite. Giants and Cowboys are weak enough that we can trample them pretty easily from the looks of things currently. So we should be in good shape to hit the playoffs. Bad thing is were no real threat to anyone else in the playoffs. And it will boil down to coaching, not who is qb. Youre blindly looking at it as people "ooohing & awwwing" over Cousins numbers. When were saying how hes been brought along in a totally new system compared to Alex under Jays tutelage. The offense is not clicking or productive as it should be because Jay is mediocre at best.

Yes, but by then Cousins was in his 4th year in Gruden’s offense and he had as much chemistry with Ryan Grant as he had with any other WR or TE bc he had been throwing to Grant since preseason of 2014.

Remember, we were playing guys on the OL we just signed that week. No running game. We have one now Reed was gone Crowder was sucking. Pryor and Dox were our WR And our defense is actually playing defense Smith has a far better cast around him this year than Kirk did last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep this joke of a coach. And give away a youthful guy that was coach of the year and ran the top offense in the league. This is not true at all about how Alex started his time the first 5 games in Harbaugh and Reid’s offenses in 2011 and 2013. 2011: 965 yds, 7 TDs 2013: 1, 202 yds 7 TDs Cousins has had mostly good games throwing to arguably the top starting WR tandem in that league (who made Keenum look like a pro bowler last year), but he also had a hell of a dud vs the Bills, just like Alex had a dud in NO on Monday night. Cousins also made huge mistakes vs Green Bay and was lucky his 2nd awful int got bailed out by the worst roughing the passer call in NFL history on Clay Matthews. The Matthews penalty overturned an interception by Jaire Alexander with 1:45 left that would have allowed the Packers to run out the clock. Bad games happen to all QBs, even the elite ones, look at big Bens first few games this year. Alex bounced back vs a great Panthers D with 2 TDs though.
