That is exactly what I took away.
I think Gruden thought based off of the Jags game that we would come out and trounce the Titans, and since Cousins' turnover tendencies were mostly in the 4th quarter playing catch up, it was likely a non-issue. That is why he thought it best to stick with him through the week in practice, but once he started coughing it up in the first half and we were going into the locker room at halftime behind the Titans, there was no choice but to try his other option.
