Kirk Cousins is a more than capable backup. I'm not saying he's as good as RG3 but the team can manage just fine without him while he recovers. There is no reason for the organization to rush his rehab to get him on the field for preseason or even Week 1

I agree with the not rushing Griffin back but you really dont know what you have in Cousins from and extended play standpoint. He played decent in limited action, you have a full game vs Cle, a half vs ATL and a drive or 2 vs Baltimore. How well will he perform if he had to play 4,8 or even a whole season? Dont blame the optimism but it should be cautious optimism. You all will be playing a #1 schedule next season, not a last place schedule.

Well, the alternative is bringing in another QB or having Grossman fight for the starting spot. I'd rather give it to Cousins and bring Grossman back as the backup- he's fine as a backup, but I want him nowhere near the starting job barring injury.

The thing with Cousins is that, you are right, he has limited experience in games. The good thing with drafting him with another rookie QB is that both of them worked together and pushed each other to learn the playbook and accelerate their growth. Both Griffin and Cousins are very smart people, and are on the level mentally of a third or fourth year QB right now.

Both DC jobs that Raheem Morris was scheduled to interview for- Cleveland and Chicago- were filled by others. Morris still has generated interest and could have other interviews.

Ike Hilliard left to join Buffalo's staff. That's a blow, as he did a great job with some of the younger receivers we had this season. If we only lose one coach this off-season, I'll be happy.

Fletcher and Kerrigan to the Pro Bowl

For the mock, anyone we think we should try to move for draft picks, even late ones? I think the Only realy candidates would be Roy Helu and Fred Davis and both would only net us 5th rounders at best more than likely

[x0xHumblex0x]

both for 5th rounders??
i would hope for at least a 4th.......at least with Davis

[Guest]

Davis was franchised last year, don't think he can be traded even if he does sign a long-term extension. More than likely, he signs a one year deal instead of being franchised.

[SuperKevin]

Didn't think we were taking all that contact stuff into account in this mock draft.

He's coming off a big injury and he has previous suspensions for substance abuse. No way a team would give up any more than a 5th round pick for him.

[x0xHumblex0x]

forgot about the substance abuse

Going to try and keep an eye on the senior bowl and some of the reports that the Post is putting up online. The Redskins, by coaching in the game last year, were able to pick up Alfred Morris from that, so without a first round pick this year, we need to make the rest of them count.

So Trent Williams is out of the Pro Bowl after being injured in a night club "altercation" which required him to have seven stitches and sent two people to the hospital. He's not being investigated by the police for it, but Williams needs to stay out of these situations, even if he's not at fault. His image already took a hit with the suspension.

Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams, who will miss Sunday's Pro Bowl after being hurt in a brawl at a Honolulu nightclub, was Tasered in the back and cracked over the head with a champagne bottle during the melee yet still did not fall to the ground, sources say.


Williams
"It was like he was Jason on 'Friday the 13th' -- man just wouldn't go down," one source said of the 6-foot-5, 318-pound Williams, who required seven stitches after the early Friday incident.

Williams, taken to a Hawaii hospital, was given a concussion test that he passed and another concussion test that he also passed after he arrived back at the Pro Bowl players' hotel.

But with Williams Tasered and stitched, the NFL decided the best course of action was not to play him in Sunday night's game.

One man was arrested and five others are being investigated for assault, but not Williams, police said.

The league said the third-year pro will be on the sideline for the Pro Bowl game Sunday and won't lose his status as a member of the NFC team.

Officials say he'll be paid a full Pro Bowl share.

That is one tough son of a bitch

Tough son of a bitch doesn't do him justice. I would've been on the ground layed out like a bitch.

I can't even imagine.
