Who is Kirk Cousins?

when it comes to the Skins right now...Cousins been consistent enough the second half of the season, but not the run game. We really the run game to rebound...stop the matt jones fumbling, Alfmo needs to be better hitting hole and getting production with his opportunities and Chris Thompson needs to get healthier and needs more opportunities as well. Oline needs to be more consistent as well.

To me the Cousins talk is kinda dead at this point....

I agree. The running game could make a hell of a difference and Cousins has been playing without one for awhile.

The run game had a semi-resurgence against the Giants. It still wasn't very good, but I think the success of the passing game helped open up some holes that might not have been there before.

The TD to Desean, the screen pass to Matt Jones. Those will change a defense's approach in a hurry. The Eagles used to slice up a defense with those delayed screen passes in the McNabb/Westbrook era. They were so good at drawing extra defenders in to chase the QB and he'd toss it right to the RB who was positioned in a vacated space.

To be completely honest, Cousins has been a surprise with his improving play...but I didn't expect this from the ground game. Im really disappointed with Alfmo's play...he doesn't look confident and doesn't hit the hole well. When he gets the ball hesitates and kinda looks around. Im equally disappointed with Matt Jones ball security...enough of the fumbling. BUT his running style is freakin great. If he wasn't such a fumbler, he would be the lead back by now. Thompson his improved with his time here...I actually would be ok with Thompson getting some more reps...more of Alfmos.

The absolute killer on the run game is Leributthole getting overmatched at center...Guy doesn't/cant play with leverage down there...we need to upgrade Center in the offseason in the worst way.

lol, Leributthole

I have also been very disappointed in the backs. Jones has potential but how can you trust him during a key stretch where you're trying to lock up 1st place.

I know this gets away from McCloughan's trenches-first mentality, but the thought has crossed my mind that Leonard Fournette would look great in Burgundy & Gold.

But that's the fan in me speaking, I'd want McCloughan to do what he thinks is right.

Scot McCloughan also comes from Seattle, a run-first team with an elite RB in Lynch (at least before this season). While he is a trenches guy, Scot may also see the potential in having an elite RB; esp if Cousins continues to work out and the team doesn't need to invest on a QB with a high pick.

If Callahan stays on, I imagine he will get a Center as a gift in the draft. My guess is many a fans will be screaming we took the guy too early, but Callahan will know who he wants, and SM will buy into it (after due diligence) hook line and sinker.

And that will be a very good thing!
