Perry Riley out for 3-6 weeks with a broken foot. Needs surgery.
The hits keep on coming.
We need all the help we can get and having him out while he's been so solid is going to hurt our already miserable run defense.
I'll add to this list:
4. We can't reliably stop the run (excluding recent Giants game) and Cowboys OL and Darren McFadden would seriously tear us up
5. We still can't reliably establish the run on offense
6. Our team has not strung together wins this season and has a history of always...

ESPN analyst thinks Kirk Cousins could be the next Drew Brees
By Scott Allen (WaPo - Sports Bog)
Former NFL quarterback Danny Kannell has a theory about Kirk Cousins...
Not sure if this is verified, but saw on the thread in this article that they were reassigned to Pats-Eagles.

Hope its true...
I think they are being re-assigned to a non-prime time game and ours is on Monday night.
But still - I agree w/ Fear. Why reassign them? Can you imagine what message that sends to the poor teams who end up getting them on Sunday?
Agree but hope the team still has some fire this upcoming Mon night vs. Dallas.
We have done poorly as of late in prime time.
Cousins needs to step up.
Further validation, McD.
The Pats are smart folks (although I still think they are cheaters). They are always in the mix and the emphasis on D in the draft looks like it's helped build this foundation.
Goaldeje, if they come out flat in this game - that's all on the coaches and the team will need to seriously rethink whether or not Gruden should stay or go.
I think it's still a little premature to make that call. Kirk has been improving and we don't have enough talent on the team to isolate his play and evaluate whether or not he's "the guy".
I will say this, though. I hope Kirk reads that and comes out with a huge chip on his shoulder today. The...
DieselPower44 - I agree re: building the OL, but we unfortunately have a lot of weak areas to fill on this team. I think D needs to take precedence with a little OL sprinkled in and around the draft for good measure (interior OL, particularly C).
If there is a way to grab OL stats from NFL.com (maybe sacks allowed?) to be able to metric "elite" OL, I'll try and do that when I do the RB analysis for Boone.
Being an equivalent of Sean Taylor is a very high bar to clear.
I think we should be happy with a safety who is even 70% of the athlete he was. That would make him top 90th percentile of starting NFL safeties and would be an amazing addition to our D.
