hailer21 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Damn, that was quick Mr. Burgundy. I have no problem with the decision nor am I surprised by it. The hit Griff took was ridiculous and having him go out there with a spare tire is no better than having Cousins out there, especially after Cousins apparently took all the first-team reps this week.

Zazzaro703 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Man sorry to say but this sucks. Hope Robert is well enough for next. Division title on the line is not the ideal game to get a look at Cousins. Oh well next man up gotta win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Cousins should be fine Have to think of the future Can't just force RG3 out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Again, more trickery from Shanahan. My guess is that Cousins starts the first series and then RG3 will come in after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I know this is going to sound odd, but I'm actually relieved. I was very nervous about RG3 playing tomorrow and risking further injury, especially against a defense like Cleveland's that was sure to take every shot at him it could get. That's just the way football is played in the AFC North and we've obviously seen that against the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals this year already. Time to see what Captain Kirk brings to the table.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 No real surprise. Works for me. The Browns are a bad team that we should be beating regardless. So long as Roberts fully fit for January. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Not sure about this statement. Agreed. Hope Kirk does well and I think he is a decent QB but he isn't nearly the passer that Griffin is. An 80% Griffin > 100% Cousins. Not saying they're wrong for not starting him...if the Docs don't think he can go then sit him. But this game is going to definitely be harder to win without him. The Browns D is good and they have a quality pass rush; even if he isn't 100% Griffin has tons more ability to elude the rush than Cousins.

sens11 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 We are going to find out how valuable that 4th round draft pick really is tomorrow. Let's go Kirk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well well well. I figured as much, especially after it came out that Cousins was getting all the 1st team reps. Still, it's kind of a jolt to hear it officially. Go get 'em Kirk. Make us proud & bring home a W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapsSkins Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Real question is whether Robert will be the backup or inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theismann07 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 As much as I wanted Griffin to play, I'm okay with this. If there is any doubt about further injury to his knee or his ability to protect himself, then sit 'em. We are fighting for a playoff spot, but it may not be worth mortgaging the long-term by playing him and risking a major injury. I'm confident Cousins can get the job done. That's why they drafted him where they did. I don't have any doubts though that if Kirk would struggle we may still see RGIII at some point tomorrow.

skinfan2k Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Rex needs to be active. Start KIrk and if for some reason he falter and the game is still close, Rex comes in and saves the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Real question is whether Robert will be the backup or inactive. So true. If he's inactive, we're one snap away from the re-unleashing of the Sex Cannon. All hail Sexy Rexy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
