Redskins QB Kirk Cousins in elite group over last 8 games
“In the last month, we’ve played some good football”.
He’s also just three games removed from a fairly ugly showing in an embarrassing Monday night loss to the Cowboys, which made Saturday’s game more of a must-win than it should be.
If the Eagles take down Washington and defeat the New York Giants the following week, or if they top the Burgundy and Gold and are tied with the Giants and Washington after next week, they claim the pennant. Can he keep his emotions in check and perform as he has in recent weeks?
“I’m viewing it as a playoff game”, linebacker Connor Barwin said. “We’re building on something special”.
Gruden, who mentioned last year that he would talk to Jackson about controlling emotions, did not feel the need to do it this year. “It’s going to be a hell of a challenge for us to step up and beat them”. In the receiving end, Jordan Matthews had 159 yards and one touchdown in eight receptions while Zach Ertz added 78 yards and one touchdown in eight catches. It is something that you have to pay attention to as a defense because although he’s not the No. 1 target they have, every time he’s targeted, it can be explosive.
Cousins hit tight end Jordan Reed for a pair of scores in the first half. The Baltimore Ravens are a bottom-three National Football League team, and they’ll be lucky to lose at home to the Steelers by single digits. “And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!“. “But all of those guys need your attention”.
For one, he’s no longer glued to the spreadsheet he created before the season to map out his life in 15-minute, color-coded chunks. The loss eliminated the Bills from the playoffs for the 16th consecutive season. It was all of them that had us in the 30, 31 or 32 [range]. We are in a position to be first in our division. Everything is riding on that one game. “Certainly we’ll do a better job of blocking for him”.
WR DeSean Jackson: Last week against the Buffalo Bills saw the former Eagles receiver catch six passes for 135 yards and a touchdown.
“The thing that I respected the most was here’s a young man who would come in, try to get the game plan done and things that he was missing, he tried to make up during the week”, Ryan said. Of course there’s systematic things – just knowing the plays better and understanding the offense, but I think the biggest and most important thing is just getting to know all the players. “We can’t ignore Sammy Watkins’ 111 yards which brings him to 827 on the season after a slow start”.
It’s not been a good year for the Eagles on fourth down. He is a big part of our offense and a great player.
Washington (7-7) was an afterthought as a contender while Cousins threw for an average of 236.7 yards with six touchdowns and eight interceptions during a 2-4 start.
“Fan Andy Weismann said, I love the Redskins because I grew up here”.
But then again, there’s a reason I handed over my weekly predictions to him in the first place…
