It kinda sucks that the Skins didn't lock up Cousins early, now they're gonna have to give him big coin. If they had him signed to a long term deal under market value they could have built a SB contender.

I really don't see how they do that having to give Cousins $21-24M AAV. Not enough money to go around. Same thing happened with the Ravens
Cousins is fool's gold. I guarantee that if another team picked him up and gave him a big contract he would look like Matt Cassel.

All this drip on me
Fire Joe Barry and draft more speed/explosiveness on the defense.

Su'a Cravens is our only non-DB player on defense with enough closing speed to be solid in coverage, our front line has no closing speed or explosiveness. With the exception of Norman, our DBs are also underwhelming and lack elite closing speed & playing making ability.


On offense we're straight, just maintain and keep weapons around Kirk (who I'm not fully sold on but he's better than every potential FA option and potential draft pick out there next year, so lets keep him).

I have to mention that Pro Bowl OLB Ryan Kerrigan is a FRAUD. Terrible against the run, blows outside contain every single time, no hand skills to shed blockers...all he does is cheat inside and bull rush the QB. Offenses run plays directly at him cuz he abandons his gap responsibilities to hunt for sacks. He makes plays in spots but he doesn't provide consistent pressure when we need it...very selfish player.

Him being the "star" of our front 7 is a big reason why the defense is terrible. But he puts up big gaudy numbers so he will never get blamed for it...

I disagree he defends the flat well I've seen him get at east one pick six that way and recall a few other instances when he was their to break up what could've been a big play

But anyway keep it going another year and draft some safeties/other defenders/a guard/center

That was true earlier in his career I haven't seen it much recently

Maybe he's been dragged down by the shyttiness of the rest of the defense

They've been :trash: at the safety positions ever since Sean Taylor's unfortunate passing, they're terrible on 3rd down and way too easy to run against overall

I agree with that. He is style wouldn't be a problem if our D could cover for him sometimes. But we can't

Romo took Miles Austin and slow ass J Witten to 11 wins. Cousins has Reed, Jackson, Crowder and Garçon and can't even operate in the red zone. Let's stick to facts and not start the bullshyt in here.
LOL at discrediting Witten to big up fukking Romo. Jason Witten is one of the greatest TEs of all time and a future HOFer. The fukk is Romo? Romo didn't take him anywhere. And Austin also wasn't made by Romo. He hit his peak for 2 years then his body betrayed him. The bullshyt cowboys fans come up with to jerk off Romo is fukkin ridiculous.

Cousins ain't shyt but all those guys you listed are either not shyt or washed
