There was tremendous apprehension when we drafted him, many were understandably upset when we have so many needs on this team. I would love to have seen another ILB or interior DL or OL with the pick, but I was not entirely against it when it happened. In fact, having watched a few games of his while at Michigan State, I knew he had some athleticism...not RG3 athleticism, but enough so that when/if Griffin were to go down, he would be able to keep our playbook in tact...mostly. With Rex, a whole new game plan has to go in effect.
So yesterday was the 2nd time this season we had to see him come in and take the reigns. During the Atlanta game I wasn't sure what to expect. We were all pleasantly surprised to see him drive straight down the field for a TD. It didn't last long though, he ended up throwing 2 picks and we lost. Was he asked to do too much? Who knows...maybe? But he didn't look bad, he looked like a rookie.
Yesterday, when it was quite obvious Griffin was going to have to come out, how many of you were confident Kirk Cousins could do what he did? I have to say, I felt like this kid could win the game for us. I joked about it a little when we were in chat yesterday, but I really felt Kirk Cousins would be able to win the game for us. He showed a lot! And the Breeding that Jimbo called it continued...even with Griff on the sideline.
Hey diddle diddle Kirk Cousins up the middle! Give Griff a week off, let Kirk win us the Browns game and build his trade value then we'll see how Griffin feels for the Eagles' game. I feel confident Kirk Cousins can beat the Browns.
