Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?
Best game of Cousins's career today? Perhaps. No other way to look at this game than to say he simply went out there and balled his ass off. The Saints do have the worst defense in the league, but even in season's past this would be the king of game the 'Skins barely win 17-16 or something like that. The fact that they went out there and executed, were crisp, the effort.....just everything seemed to go right. We have a snapshot of what this offense can look like when everything is working.
Also, something I thought was impressive was that between Jackson and Garcon there was 4 catches made, all by Jackson. Most people would agree that if Garcon is getting 0 catches and Jackson only has 4 for minimal impact, the passing game would be in trouble, however we saw everyone else like Reed, Crowder, Carrier, etc etc not just contributing....but being effective and looking like weapons. Not to mention Chris Thompson. If he can stay healthy he looks to be a Sproles-type X factor.
The running game finally going made a world of difference and wow, welcome back to the offense Matt frickin' Jones!
