I think Kyle really needs to consider playing CJ this year. Especially if Hoyer stinks it up in SEA which he likely will. You have 6 years (not really) to turn this around so might as well see what we have in the rookie before next year's draft.
Kirk will be our QB next year.
If you saw much of the WASH /PHILLY game you did NOT see a good performance by Cousins. He didn't look much better if any than Hoyer. Still, overall, hoyer did not have a good game. Missed passes, got blindsided twice at least, both resulting in TDs being scored by Panthers. Our OG to OG OL blocking...was putrid. Looked a lot like the old Houston OIlers OL "LOOKOUT" blocks...when after whiffing on a block the OG turned around and yells "LOOKOUT". Kilgore got beat right up the gut several times also. Good news is we got Magnus as a potential OG as well as Laken. We don't know about those two yet, but after the disastrous line blocking yesterday, we better be seeing those two guys real soon.
But hoyer also dropped a 40 some yard dime on Marquis on the goal line, who promptly dropped it. Then next qtr, old reliable, #44 had a ball hit him right between the numbers, and dropped it. It was like a contagious disease. Then after a series of those, Hoyer got rattled adn was off target on a number of passes. Had a delay of game penalty, on Kyle, had some bad play calls on kyle, and for awhile it looked like he lost his cool. Going for it on 4th down and one and 4th and 3 the other time, failed. We ahve to get our OGs and C to block better. I thought they were better than that, but fusco and beadles did NOT block well. Kilgore whiffed on one right up the gut...
I didn't see much difference in quality of play between the two Qbs. Both had bad days, boht are better than they showed. Put this one in the trash can and do NOT save to learn from. There was nothing to learn from here.
On D, Reuben was a star. Then that horrible knee/ankle imitation of Joe Theisman's last play in the NFL, and i thought REuben's careeer was over. Hopefully not as he certainly looks like a once in a generation player. Hope he is recouped the next 3-4 weeks....keep him off the field and let that ankle ( and if knee also) heal. Good game to forget.
