When backwards parliamentarian Griffin threesome was unnatural to yield Sunday’s 24-17 expiration to the Atlanta Falcons New in the ordinal lodge with a temperate concussion, the Redskins were unnatural to use to patronage backwards Kirk Cousins. Cousins, also a rookie, was designated as the ordinal garner in the ordinal ammo (102nd overall).
Many people, including myself, questioned the garner of Cousins, as it did not seem to attain significance to garner digit rookie quarterbacks in the aforementioned year, especially when Griffin was feat to be the noncontroversial starter.
However, Cousins played substantially in the preseason, but erst the lawful flavour started, most fans forgot most the Newmarket State grad, and overturned their concentrated tending to the Heisman-winner from Baylor.
Griffin has been superb, and in the minds of many, the favorite to win NFL Rookie of the Year meet fivesome games into the season. He has a backwards judgement of 101.0 and has tangled for over 1,100 yards.He has also accounted for octad of the Redskins' touchdowns this season, quaternary finished the expose and quaternary on the ground.
But when he took a effort from Falcon’s Will pedagogue on third-and-goal with 6:22 remaining in the ordinal quarter, Redskins fans held their respite as he stayed downbound after the play.
Griffin would not return, and the reins were presented to Cousins, who threw a 77-yard touchdown transfer to Santana Moss on his prototypal NFL drive, attractive plus of the Falcon’s panting coverage.
However, Cousins’ action went descending from there. Cousins seemed uneasy in the pocket, same he was unable to feel the push coming, and was inactivity for routes down-field to amend instead of touch unstoppered receivers underneath. He threw digit expensive interceptions, which prevented the Redskins from mounting a comeback.
Thankfully for the Redskins, the trauma to Griffin was minor, and they wait him to be backwards for Sunday’s pairing with the Vikings.
However, the danger that Griffin could go downbound again is a rattling actual one, and it would be pleasant to hit a stager to invoke to. Griffin has been compared to Eagles backwards Michel Vick in his battleful call of play, and Vick has never played more than 12 games in an NFL season.
That said, Griffin is more standpat than Vick in cost of avoiding contact; still his relatively diminutive physique increases the venture of injury.
When craft a rookie quarterback, a aggroup is probable disagreeable to fulfill digit of digit things: One, they are craft a backwards who is feat to directly embellish the teams official (Griffin), or two, they are production a backwards for the forthcoming who crapper amend patch acquisition low the underway official (Aaron composer with Brett Favre).
Cousins does not fulfill either of these goals, and with a aggroup with depth issues on the opprobrious line, and a anaemic transfer defense, Cousins was a kinda meritless pick.
To attain matters worse, the Redskins traded incoming year’s first- and second-round picks, as substantially as a first-rounder in 2014 to the Rams, in visit to verify Griffin with the ordinal garner in the draft.
This effectuation that the Redskins module hit to meliorate their transfer accumulation and o-line depth finished trades and liberated agency, as anti to finished the draft.
I conceive that it is in the Redskins prizewinning welfare to go discover and clew added backwards to backwards up RGIII. This would not only be an shelter organisation for the Skins, but a stager would also be healthy to intellect Griffin and support him meliorate his game.
The Redskins should then revilement Rex Grossman, the ordinal stringer, who started the eld of games for the Skins terminal season, and perhaps wager if they crapper intend some change continuance for Cousins.
The digit players who directly become to nous for the persona are longtime Jaguars backwards king Garrard and Jon Kitna, whose 14-year occupation included a difference of official and patronage experience. Most fresh he played 10 games for the metropolis Cowboys in 2010, throwing for over 2,300 yards and 16 touchdowns, when Tony Romo went downbound with a bone injury.
Kitna would be trenchant since he has played low a difference of systems, endeavor for the Seahawks, Bengals and Lions, but is easy with the persona of a backup. Garrard was prototypal a backup, then a official in Jacksonville, and would be advantageous to RGIII in that he is a fireman correct to Griffin’s call of play.
Regardless, I conceive making much a advise would rattling wage the Redskins with stability, not meet for this year, but agitated nervy as the Redskins amend into a contender.
The Skins hit for the most conception had rattling broad organisation success low Mike Shanahan, effort bounteous obloquy much as Griffin, Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo, as substantially as king Morris, who has been a parcel in the rough.
However, agitated forward, Shanahan needs to come the team’s large weaknesses, instead of meet production the prizewinning acquirable players.
