Giants Game Negatives

Cousins has a mental aspect to his game that I do not like. Can he make some throws sure...

Can he handle a rush or pressure... NO. That is a huge problem moving forward and he does not have that it factor it takes to be a continually successful career.
He is what he is a 1-5 QB in games he has started and more importantly 2-1 as a guy coming in as a relief. That's it folks. He is a good backup but not a long term answer as starter

1. we should have upgraded RT

2. we should have upgraded FS

3. lauvaua - still too early but people questioned the signing and his play (i know he didnt play last night)

4. the criticism that cousins just throws the ball at a receiver (aka chucking it up) when under pressure was on full display last night

5. penalties are killing us. im guessing we will be top 3 after week 4.

6. haslett banked on bringing pressure so his weak secondary wont be exposed ..... where is the pressure haslett?

7. ryan clark's "leadership" was lacking on the field last night

8. the team was unprepared and had a hang over from the eagles game

does gruden change things up? does he work the players harder?

im interested to see how gruden handles his first stretch of turmoil.

this is not the end of the world. we all expected 8-8 or worse. we will win some games going forward. i fully expect us to go 1-1 against the seahawks and cardinals. but the play of some players are hard to watch (rak, polumbus, secondary).

Moses was drafted for the RT, takes times

Philip Thomas should be promoted from the PS, anyone know how his foot is?

Haslett gots to go!! Promote Baker to DC, this clown has had 5/6 years with the same results. Enough is enough.

I like Orakpo, but let him walk, he is not worth what he is going to ask for. Let Murphy start next year. 2nd round picks should be starters in year 2 anyways. We need a #1 cornerback. After week 4 that's what I'd take in round 1. Hall/Amerson/Breeland would be ok as 2-4.

We need to draft/sign 2 new starting safeties. Basically we need a complete overhaul in the secondary.

For the love of all things good in the world cut Polumbus this week and let Compton or Moses start

Perry Riley needs to be replaced. He is just an absolute statue in pass coverage.

And most importantly we need RG3 to play a full 16 games un 2015. I think he is the answer still, but gruden needs to be able to find out for sure if he is our franchise QB.

Last night’s game didn’t show Redskins fans anything they shouldn’t have already known. We’re a terrible team. For the most part, we’ve been a terrible team for over two decades. There have been few bright spots, among them 2012. So one would naturally think, well, let’s look at that bright spot and build on it. Well, the biggest bright spot was RGIII, and so many of us don’t want the Redskins to build on that. Really? After two decades of sucking, we can’t wait a few more years while a young QB develops?

My recommendation to the FO (and the fans) would be this: it’s going to take a while to turn things around, but at least we have things we can build on: a talented receiver crew, strong TEs, a pro-bowl LT. Everything else is basically garbage. Okay, so we work on building that up, on developing guys like Amerson and Breeland, bringing in a new DC, allowing a rookie HC to take his lumps. We need to identify a core strength, build on that, and most importantly have patience. I posted in the pregame thread that this Giant game scared me. Why should any of us be surprised that a perennial contender like the Giants embarrassed a perennial loser like the Redskins? Why did we think we were so far removed from the 3-13 team we were 9 months ago? Why, after more than two decades of sucking, are we constantly shocked when a single offseason didn’t turn us into a dynasty in the waiting? It’s this loss of perspective and terrible impatience that has often plagued our front office, but has I believe more recently been the reasoning behind those wanting Cousins over RGIII.

It’s no guarantee that RGIII will be great. But demanding a complete overhaul after every bad season is not going to solve any of our problems. And our problem isn’t QB. It’s the defense, it’s the offensive line, it’s the lack of depth across the roster. Truly turning around this team and making it good will take time and patience. We’re going to have to expect and endure a lot more failure and have faith that the core of guys we have now can be built around. And I think it can happen.

If we wait a few years to develope Griff will Trent still be a pro bowl caliber LT? Will Jackson and Garcon still have their speed? We know the shelf life on RB's so will Almo still be great? IF and thats a big IF Griff can stay healthy we dont have a few years. We need him or KC or whoever to be good next year or all these pieces we have will be bent and broken.

Gruden needs to clean out the roster, too many players and coaches that don't want to fight every down.

Well, wasn't that a whooping?

The good news is that you are never as bad as you look at your worst. For the sake of my sanity I will presume that last night was our worst.

The loss of DHall was huge. It changes every level of the defense.

You know your defense sucks big time when losing DHall means the world. My God.

The ints came after we got behind, because our defense cant stop anyone but the jags, even if we had the broncos offense.

Cousins played great against Philthy, we lost because the d gave up more than 30. Cousins played bad against NJGiants, we lost because the d gave up more than 30.[/Q

He played well in the first half of Philly.

He did not play well in the second. He hit some big plays. He had four downs to gain 10 yards with two minutes to go to get us into FG range. He blew it and threw as poorly as he did in that two minute drill as he did last night.


He even admitted his mental problem with the game in his press conference.

I know they've been saying it, but Kirk Cousins straight shits his pants with any pressure ni his face. If he has a clean pocket, he's as good as any of them, but with even a little pressure his mechanics go ALLLLL to shit.
