What is the best network TV show to debut after the Super Bowl?
By Chris Lawrence
As we discussed on the most recent It’s Just Business podcast, nothing gets eyeballs on TV like the Super Bowl. The host network leverages this to do a bunch of things good for the network like collect huge ad revenue, promote their entire sports package and drive viewers to their prime time line-up. One of the ways they have done this has been elevating a show as the lead-out from the coverage. This has looked different at different times like a Jimmy Kimmell special or “very special episode” like this year with This Is Us and finally learning how the guy from Heroes dies. But often the network uses it as a way to kick off new shows. So we present this poll to ask which premier was the best. We obviously had to cut down to 4, so if your favorite isn’t here name it in the comments and call me an idiot (I am used to it). You will notice a distinct Redskins connection to this poll.

Question: What is the best network television show to debut after the Super Bowl?

•Family Guy (Fox) premiered after Super Bowl XXXIII (Atlanta/Denver) in 1999. It garnered a 22 share Nielsen rating. It still runs today and is in syndication
•The Wonder Years (ABC) premiered after Super Bowl XXII (Washington/Denver) in 1993. (Good year!) It garnered a 28.9 share Nielsen rating. Ran for 5 seasons and forever in syndication.
•The A-Team (NBC) premiered after Super Bowl XVII (Washington/Miami) in 1983 (Good Year!) It garnered a 21.9 share Nielsen rating. Ran for 4 seasons and forever in syndication. One note: This was the first official episode of the series although it was based of a made for TV movie that had ran earlier and with a different actor playing Face Man.
•24: Legacy (FOX) premiered after Super Bowl LI (New England/Atlanta). It garnered a 17.5 share Nielsen rating. This was a spin-off of 24 and ran for 1 season. It has a weird distinction of being the lowest rate post Super Bowl show ever but highest rated episode of 24 ever.
Does anyone have interest in going after either of these guys?
Dontari Poe DT 27 ATL
Bennie Logan DT 28 KC
So Jacoby didn’t even make it to the final 10 yet these o-linemen did Steve Hutchinson, Tony Boselli, Kevin Mawae and Alan Faneca. Jacoby is better than any of these guys by far the problem is these guys voting now never saw him play.

HogSty unloading on the HOF voters on twitter ⟶
Sounding mighty bitter, too.
It’s a heaping pile of shit. Joe Jacoby, is objectively….the modern era’s prototype for the big mobile blocker. He’s got the game tape, the stats, lengthy career at multiple positions and the rings.
What the hell is the voter’s problem?
i remember thinking, “jeez…. joe is over 300 pounds”. that was HUGE in the 80s. 305 and fast and agile…. changed left tackle.
It’s me, and I’m extremely bitter. Joe really wanted to get into the Hall of Fame, and he deserved it, and now he probably won’t make it.
It’s maddening
He absolutely deserved it. Bringing up Ray Lewis’ murder accusation is just sour grapes, though. The guy got elected to the HOF, that shit is in the past.

That’s clearly not possible, and a huge waste of time and taxpayer’s money. Mexicans can just walk around it and the cinder block construction is obviously not strong enough to repel direct frontal assault by ISIS tanks.
Damn, I didn’t know ISIS had tanks in Mexico!

Kirk tries on American Eagle sweaters in the mirror while Creed blares from the RCA CD player his Grandpa gave him, slurpin’ diet iced tea through a twisty straw.
Alex Smith’s # is 11, that’s 3 more than Kirk, who’s # is 8, clearly better.
Alex Smith once laid the entire Raiders cheerleader squad while on a trip to Vegas, Elvis style. Kirk married some chick from his church youth group.
Kirk has eternal life, sorry Alex

thanks.
so, the thinking is that the giants are going with eli for another year or 2 or whatever. excellent. eli does not scare me, and i would hate to face kurt cummings twice a year. glad, in a sense, that cowboys, eagles and giants are set at qb. kind of a weird thing to be glad about, but there it is.

sorry to post that comment above which moves this video down the screen.
Can’t for the life of me figure out what this thing is for

Wow…
No HOF for Jacoby has to be the most pathetic thing I have seen, I doubt half the voters even saw him play.
I think if he was a 1st or even a 2nd round draft pick and had the same career, he’d have been voted in years ago. Which is doubly pathetic.
Gurley named offensive player of the year. McVay’s smiling.
One and done in the playoffs…I wouldn’t smile too much.
I would. Taking the Rams to the playoffs his first year as a head coach?
OK, that was nice. I’ll be impressed if he can sustain it. I’m still not sold on Goff.
‘Aaron Donald first tackle since ’99 to win Defensive Player of the Year’
Only others were Sapp, Cortez Kennedy, Mean Joe.
Well deserved. Might have been the best player in the NFL at any position this year.
Didn’t get Jake, but Beathard was named to the HOF. Hail Bobby!
Happy for Bobby, but there is no way that Brian Urlacher was a better player at his position than Jake
No argument from me.
There’s got to be a better way to do the HOF. Maybe have a set amount of players from certain position groups each year? No more than 1 QB, 1 receiver, and 1 RB on offense plus at least one olineman. And do something similar for defense.
If someone who knew nothing about football just walked into the HOF, they’d think offense was played with 4 QBs, 3 WRs, 3 RBs and one olineman.
I’m gonna do chili tomorrow . Keep it simple .
I doubt the Redskins get a BIG free agent left guard. They have Scherff’s deal coming up and it doesn’t make sense to have HUGE money tied up in the O-line. Moses and Williams are making large coin.
Draft a LG.
smokey • 2 hours ago
Zach Brown is going to be looking for 6.5 mill per year. With a four year year deal–three guaranteed–I hope the Skins make it happen. That roughly 20 mill with other incentives.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Zack Brown was better in 2016 and not injured and he got no interest in FA’s and had to sign a cheap 1 yer deal with us, not sure why after an injury year he will all the sudden be coveted on the open market.
Because of back-to-back very productive years?
A QB comparison breakdown would make a good article/thread . Put it out there for everybody to see , so there are no “mistakes” in the jibba jabba. Course , I ain’t the guy that has to put all that together .
Opinions
Smith can’t handle the volume Kirk did
Kirk doesn’t quite have the touch Smith does
Smith can’t quite drive the ball in there on a 20 yard post like Kirk can
Kirk can’t scramble and save plays like Smith can.
Smith does better after contact and protects the ball better.
Kirk is a fucking robot when it comes to study
Fuck Kirk, he’s gone. We don’t make decisions for the team. Welcome to DC, Alex.
Only the comparison’s won’t stop and those are your opinions . If somebody is feeding me shit and I know it , there’s a reference to turn to. It was a suggestion . I know they fucked up.
I ain’t feeding you a goddamn thing.
Gotta run the ball and play defense a whole lot better . That’s the bottom line . That’s what Kirk needed and never had and that’s what Smith’s going to need . If you force him to throw at the rate KC did , same results or worse , in my opinion.
A mauler at LG would be helpful.
right .
I wouldn’t mind putting our FA dollars into Andrew Norwell from the Panthers, All Pro G.
Very good, but also very pricey. You could get Quenton Nelson (if available) or Hernandez on rookie contracts.
I take Nelson in a heart beat if available at 13. If Hernandez is there in the 2nd then absolutely
I could see the Pukes taking Hernandez at 19th pick.
Possibly, they always invest highly in the OLine. Still, I think they need a WR or a LB to replace Lee (dude is great but can’t stay on the field)
I hope the Super Bowl is a good game, with the Pats ripping out Eagles fan’s hearts, Falcon-style.
Even more so, I’m rooting for the Pats and the number 3:
3-0
3-1
3-3
3-4
3-5
3-6
3-8
3-9
Super Bowl board numbers.
$5 per square, pays quarterly and final score.
Neither Kirk nor the Redskins were victimized by the other party. When Kirk wanted a LTD, the Skins didn’t. When the Skins wanted a LTD, Kirk didn’t. No need to demonize either side.
I agree, although that is certainly not the way the media has portrayed it
Everyone’s got their feelings on the matter, but both sides did what they thought was in their best interest.
f*** the s*** hole fake news media! LOL
Big Jake missed the HoF
I blame that bastard Cousins

Shit…how many times has he been passed over????
This was his 20th year eligible. SMDH.
pffft
That’s it for him then unless the veterans committee puts him in
I fart in the direction of the Selection Committee.
doesn’t make any damn sense

https://nflcomparisons.com/alex-smith-vs-kirk-cousins-comparison/
Pretty decent comparison
If you just click on 15, 16, 17 and omit the other years , then enter it . They are almost equal in several categories .
Thing about is , KC threw the ball almost 200 more times in three years than Alex Smith. We gotta get a run game .
Yes. And KC was ahead A LOT more in the 4th quarter.
Cool website, buck.Thanks.
There’s always going to be that group of Redskins fans that will pine for Kirk, but the reality is that Kirk wasn’t pining to remain a Redskins, unless he got another $34 million, fully guaranteed, one-year franchise tag deal. Jay and team officials stressed they wanted to start negotiations, and Kirk countered by saying he would wait until free agency starts.
I can’t say I blame Jay and the front office for cutting bait. So he’s gone, and I think the move to Alex smith is a lateral move at worst, and potentially better over the next couple of years. In the meantime, find a good young prospect, and groom him.
Fuck Kirk, I don’t give a crap about him. i just think it was stupid to trade for a soon to be 34 year old QB and give him 3 years guaranteed, trade away a Pro Bowl caliber CB and a 3rd round pick, when we aren’t a good enough team for this trade to matter. You make this trade if your team is a contender and just needs a QB. This trade would have made a lot more sense for Jax than us. I would have rather we saved the 23.5 mil a year we’re spending on Smith, put it into the defense, and draft a QB to develop. I get that Smith makes us better in the short term but I think it was shortsighted. We aren’t winning a SB with Smith.
^This
We still have plenty of cap space for the defense and we can still develop a QB behind a true pro, we have no idea if Fuller will continue to play at the level he did last yer and a 3rd round pick can easily be replaced. Smith was the best QB we could get and the coach and FO’s can’t afford to lose for 3 yeras why we bring along some rookie QB.
We have 23.5 mil less cap space per year then we would have without Smith. I see no reason for Fuller to fall off. He was a 1st round talent who dropped because of injury and he played like a 1st rounder last season. he will continue to play very well. The coach’s and FO are going to lose 3 years anyway because we aren’t going to be contending during that time.
I thought the Skins treated Kirk fare over the years…to hand-tie the team till free agency was, imo, chicken shit.
Skins did what they had to do, Kirk got what he wanted. All’s good IMO. I don’t and won’t miss Kirk one bit.
Skins did what they wanted, Kirk did what he wanted. Not sure what the problem is.
‘zactly. The writting has been on the wall for at least 2 years.
Watching the winter X-Games, it reminded me that I had huge backside air last night. Totally sick.
“Yuge” fixed it for you. Lol
Zach Brown is going to be looking for 6.5 mill per year. With a four year year deal–three guaranteed–I hope the Skins make it happen. That roughly 20 mill with other incentives.
With the ~$10M savings next year at QB, Skins could easily make that happen.
With some creative negotiations, definitely doable
We need to run the ball much better to escape mediocrity, no matter who our QB is, and I’m not convinced Jay is capable of scheming up a good run game. He’s never done it before
It’s a fact that Kirk has a penchant for beginning seasons slow.
That’s true, along with the rest of the team. They seem unprepared the first game or two
…and that drives me up the wall.
Smith first year with Reid in Kansas City he won 11 games and had a very good season, he will have no issue picking up Jays offense.
Most of Smith’s plays vs. the Redskins looked like Jay could have called those plays. He moved the chains in the 2nd & 3rd & 4th quarters and controlled time of possession.
He’s been in the league 13 years. This isn’t rocket science for him.
Agree, he’s a pro’s pro and very experienced.
He’ll learn the offense fine. My comment has to do with you saying it will take Kirk much longer to learn his offense which, of course, you have no way of knowing. Still, Smith is a different QB than Kirk, Don’t expect him to throw for nearly 5k yards
That’s fair and I agree. In his 5 years with KC, he averaged 232 YPG, but also rushed for 22 YPG (1,672 total in 76 games).
Kirk meanwhile, in his last 3 years as the Skins starter, averaged 275 YPG passing and 6.7 YPG rushing.
Actually , they’re fairly close in many category’s . Kirk has 81 TD’s to Smith’s 61 over the last three years and he has quite a bit more yardage . But KC has a lot more attempts than Smith . KC has more pics but there again , he has thrown it a lot more . All in all , fairly equal . The kicker being one guy is 4 years older than the other .
His stat line was nearly identical to Kirks, only with fewer interceptions, sacks and fumbles.
Dude, he had Kelce, Hunt, and Hill for the entire season. We had nobody and 26 different OLine combinations. Smith would likely not have come close to the numbers he put up had he been on the Skins last season
7 different RB’s ….7
You might not want to look at 15 and 16 then , if you want to focus on stats .
^ Smith’s stats, buck? He was good: QB ratings of very solid 95.4 and 91.2. But most importantly, 11-5 and 11-4 in games he started. Yes, Chiefs were the better team…but Smith was part of the reason too.
Anyone who suspects Smith will start off roaring is overly optimistic. Smith will require game action to run jay’s system. I’m hoping for a very good RB to be acquired, as most of us agree on.
Definitely need a more explosive RB1
Yeah once you get to Smith level learning offense is easy, it will be kirk who takes a much longer time to learn the new offense on whatever team he goes to.
You pulled this statement entirely out of your ass
Andy Reids offense is a short passing WCO’s designed to get the ball out of the QB’s hand very quickly, once Reid relinquished play calling duties Smith was able to throw down field a lot more.
Kelce and Hill, my goodness. Talk about making safeties pucker up.
Kelce is an ass, but I wish we had him. What a talent.
Smith will do great with Reed (if he can stay healthy) and V Davis
Smith had a higher completed air yards percentage then Cousins in 2017. He also had a higher completion percentage.
Career though:
Smith – 6.8
Kirk – 7.5
You can believe Smith is just as good or better than Kirk if you want. It doesn’t matter to me. When I watch them both play it seems pretty apparent that Kirk is better. I think we need to greatly improve the playmakers we have on offense or Smith will not look good. Remember, Smith had Hill, Hunt and Kelce last year. Kirk had CT for 10 games and….that’s about it.
Yeah because Jay’s offense is designed to throw the ball down the field Andy Reids is not.
if the best weapons we can offer are Doctson and VD down the field, which is all we had last season, jay’s play design won’t matter much
Well considering the season isn’t starting anytime soon I would bet we will have more options.
That’s the hope.
Reddit takes shots at Bruce
https://www.reddit.com/r/Redskins/comments/7uxbad/bruce_allen_wikipedia_edits_gone_right/
Aren’t reddit articles submitted by football fans like us?
Yes… the Reddit community takes shots at Bruce, is what I meant.
People complained about KC’s hesitation to throw into tight windows. Smith was second to last in aggressiveness % — way below KC. Also explains why he throws so few INTs, though.
https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#aggressiveness
His hesitation to go down the field is obvious when you watch his tape. It’s also obvious that Kirk is a better passer, which actually kind of surprised me when watching our old games. Kirk is a very good QB. We better surround Smith with a lot of talent.
Yeah, I think Cousins is the better QB overall, but they’re relatively close.
I agree, they’re both good. Each brings a slightly difference skill. Kirk is a better pure passer, Smith better throwing on the move and making plays with his feet.
I don’t know how you watch that game , and not come way with that conclusion .
We better hope CT and Reed are healthy next year, which is probably a pipe dream
CT has been relatively healthy over the past few years. Reed cannot be counted on at all. I’d be fine with drafting his replacement.

Tastes EXACTLY like a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie.
Put a local bartender to the challenge yesterday, and we came up with this recipe. A little too minty at first, so I suggested a little kahlua.
The reaction from patrons as they took a sip was priceless. “Oh my God, that IS a Thin Mint!” One guy joked and said he wanted to buy a box of them.
Try a Scooby Snack. I used to make them a long, long time ago at a bar I used to tend. Forgot what it consisted of though. Maybe your local bartender has a good recipe as drinks vary from region to region.
Gross.
Just finished watching the Skins/Chiefs game and the Eagles/Chiefs game from earlier this year. Tell you what, if Jay thought Kirk needed to let it rip more down the field he’s going to be pulling his hair out with Smith. Seems like 80% of Smith’s throws are screens, checkdowns or short quick passes. Part of that is the offense he’s asked to run, but you can see him hesitate when looking down field. He appears to me to be the epitome of a “game manager”. If he has a good run game and defense he will keep you in games because he doesn’t turn the ball over. unfortunately we have neither of those things and I think if we ask Smith to win games with his arm like we did with Kirk we are going to suck.
…and yet he still led the league in deep passing. Go figure.
I watched the Skins/Chiefs game today. I think Alex Smith will gel really well with our players.
He led the league in “deep passing” because he’s got a receiver that can take it the distance from anywhere.
Thats how Kirk got most of his deep passes on screens taken to the house.
After DJax left, yeah
He threw the ball down the field more this year than in years past but his career y/pa is 6.9. That’s not good
That’s always been his rep.
Wells Fargo shit hammered
What did they do this time?
The Fed nailed them for unscrupulous behavior.
What? That doesn’t sound like it’s good for business.
This is way out in left field, but I’d kick the tires and bring in unsigned FA Carrington Byndom, CB as a camp invite. When he was healthy at Texas, he had great instincts, broke on the ball hard, and flashed 4.37 speed on his pro day. He’s 25 years old and had brief stints with Carolina, and Arizona. He was released by the Ravens on an undisclosed injury settlement.

I recall one year watching a SB edition of Beavis & Butthead during halftime
One of my college housemates has spent most of his adult life doing voiceover work, plus minor acting gigs in movies and on TV shows. Lately, he has secured voiceover work for a couple of drugs (Victoza and another one).
I joked with him that I’m tired of hearing him banter about side effects 10 times a day.
Interestingly enough we finished the season with 88 folks on the roster (Active, IR, and reserves/futures) With Cousins and Fuller gone, we still will have a lot of guys to trim as we move into the draft (I think).
We’re gonna have a lot of guys that still deserve to be trimmed come July.

I love how often Payne drops to 13
Payne will be there late in the 1st or Vea will be.
4th Round? What the f are you smoking?
Payne was absolutely dominant against Clemson. Then he took that dominance to another level in the national title game. Against the run, Payne is as refined as any defensive lineman in the class, as he plays with proper leverage, anchoring strength and NFL-caliber block-shedding ability. He flashed getting to the passer in the playoffs too, which was the only knock on his game. Oh, and Payne will only be 20 when he’s drafted.
It’s the athletism that separates him from Vea.
Vea’s equally athletic … for a guy his size. I think he scored 11 TDs as a senior in HS. As a running back.
Payne is more athletic. And, yea, Vea can move sure. But he’d gas out before Payne.
Agree

I think a trade down in the first should be automatic their will be a very good player in the late teens and we can pick up another 2nd or 3rd to make up for the pick we traded.
Sounds good. Unless some guy like Smith or James drops to 13, then I say sprint to the podium and select the elite talent.
Yeah you can also trade down in the second to pick up a 3rd round pick.
True dat. The pick at 13 could be attractive to some team for whichever QB slips, of course. Nothing like a desperate team needing a QB, glad we’re not one of ’em.

One way to help recover from the loss of Fuller would be to draft a LB who can *really* cover, like Roquan Smith. Another guy I’d take at 13 because he’s just that good.
If you click on the tweet there are a lot of clips.

I would have no issue taking him at 13. This draft is very deep in d-line talent. ILB however is very thin only a couple worth taking.
Agree 100%. A top 5 talent dropping to 13 = no brainer a la Jon Allen.
Philthy fans are going to destroy their city regardless of game outcome.

Watching the Skins vs. Chiefs game, I have no doubt that Alex Smith will do really well within Jay Gruden’s system.
I have no doubt that our receivers will do very well, catching the ball in stride and whatnot….
And we were bringing the heat on A Smith in the 1st half. Fun watching J. Allen and Ion Man work together.
Yet he didn’t wither. Yeah, it’ll be good to have Allen back.
Won’t know what to do with myself when that starts happening
You’ll probably start touching yourself in naughty places.
Eli: 2018, $22.2, $12.4 dead; 2019, $23.2, 6.2 dead.
Yeah this is probably his last year.
I could see him retiring after this year.
So looks like the Ginats are keeping Eli, they could still draft a QB with the 3rd pick.
They should
…or OL
They need that but I don’t see any LT at 3.
Trade back, and take McGlinchey from Notre Dame
Sure they could do that.
I agree should trade Eli for whatever they can get.
Whelp… the road to state championships start today for the little ones. Today’s tournament is OUTDOORS… on a football field in Carlsbad. Only in Socal…
Good luck whooop some ass.
I don’t think my son has much chance… but there’s a few kids on the team that are outrageously good. There’s a free clinic with an Olympic wrestler before hand. Should be interesting.
Cool have fun.
How many matches will he have today, 3/4?
Not sure yet… it’s a big tourney and I’m not sure how they’re pooling the groups yet. I would say at least 4 though.
Get him some carbs. Good luck to lil SCamp!
Oatmeal and naners
Terrell Owens says that if the Eagles win the fans will tear the city down…
It probably needs it… but why destroy something in celebration?
Sounds about right.
Rewatching the Skins vs. Chiefs game
from 2013?
This year
With the QB situation settle with the Skins, the most interesting 2018 questions to me are: Broncos, Jags, Vikes, Bengals. Broncos are definitely in the market for a veteran starter; Jags might be ‘stuck’ with Bortles if he doesn’t pass a physical in March, Vikes have 3 UFA QB’s and just may go with none of the above, Bengals have Dalton under a pretty cheap contract for another 3 years ($16.3, $16.2, $17.7) and McCarron who is a RFA. Dalton could be very attractive to some team as a trade option.
Fuck…….that
J-E-T
Jets-jets-jets
And Cards, Bills…but none are very interesting to me.

Imagine if you are the maintenance service personnel that has to cut this guys nuts out of a beach chair…
Might be time to reevaluate your career path
I wouldn’t do it. Think of the liability if say….the sawzall slipped.
Just show him a nude photo of Nancy Pelosi. Instant shrivelage.
The person I’m most pleased for in this non-drama, but major distraction, is Jay. He has a good QB and known commodity for at least the next 3 years and can plan/build the O accordingly. At least I THINK Jay will be here.
I wonder who was “standing on the table” for Alex Smith?
Side note: you really don’t want to eat off the tables at Redskins Park. Folks always got their shoes on’em.
If he keeps on displaying the same tendencies, I’m sure to remain a critic of Jay.
On this though, I’m glad for him. Doesn’t matter the QB’s stats, when the will to win isn’t there, and the guy is being paid a shit-ton of money, what’s the HC to do?
Now though, Jay’s out from under that nonsense and hopefully, can flourish.
So it never really was about Jay, per se, more a bleeding over of your extreme dislike for our former Quarterback?
Oh no-no-no….I’m merely being open minded and throwing in some benefit of the doubt for Jay and the opportunity that’s presented itself to him.
If he’s still short on having the team ready, making the wrong call at the wrong time, mismanaging the clock, making goofy player personnel and roster decisions, standing on the sidelines staring off into nothing….I’ll be on him.
Yet your first point hints at Jay being somewhat restricted as to his options based on…….well, that guy.
Consider it a new lease.
And maybe you recall, I have faulted him for not being able to reach the QB and get the guy to rise up. The QB apparent reluctance aside, the HC has to crack that whip and get that guy to perform.
I’m hoping we see a HC take charge, not be so player friendly, and make demands of his team.
And can Kotwica already

In some cases, you’re either born with it, or you’re not. No amount of technology or training can get you over the top. You get the biggest and best computer, all of the new gear, the best education money can buy, yet still fall short.

Absurd…..you reckon, lol
I feel like reckon is a term used by people that sport the mullet look.
That’s because you overrate yourself.

Hmmm……
Naahhhhhhhhhh
Yes, yes you do. That’s ok, though, you’ve all kinds of company.
I’m so damn humble though. And fully aware of what I’m not good at. Really, it’s astonishing.
My point, thanks for that.
Don’t envy me my immaculate modesty.
Not in my most downtrodden state, you’re safe in that regard.
Good on ya. Stand tall.

You’d like to think that, it makes you feel less feminine.
What’s wrong with feeling feminine?
Nothing, baby, nothing at all.
Local sportscasters are a little pissed that Poona didn’t get a combine invite. He was, after all the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the year. They basically view it as a snub, especially since 6 other Longhorns got combine invites.
UDFA
Could happen. Honestly, I think a combine snub doesn’t hurt him. With an 80″ wingspan, I don’t expect him to tear it up on the bench press. His speed will be fine. Probably will have a good pro day.
The team that takes him will have done a deep dive into his game film. He doesn’t take plays off and just knows how to be consistently disruptive.
It’s like his arms ignored the signal to stop reaching for the ground.
Could make a career out of batting passes. At 6’0, he looks like a throwing lane. QB releases the ball and, THWACK!
He’s blocked FGs too.
His arms really aren’t that long: 32 3/4″. Good length for a DT but not extraordinary by any means.
That’s kind of a sore spot with Austin, take it easy.
The next best thing after severing ties with last year’s QB, finally saying goodbye to Shawn Lauvao.
He’s not the self-centered prick that that QB is. But still.
I’m seeing that Ty Nsekhe is a RFA. Don’t know what the dilly is with his last surgery, but why not have him take first crack at LG?
He can’t play guard. That’s why.
The old adage is that if you can play T, you can play G. IDK…
There’s a reason on those plays that TWill moved inside while Ty was the tackle.
Yeah, suppose so.
We’re not going to have enough tackles.
At 32, he’s fine to fill in. Don’t expect to get an entire season out of him. He’s never done that.
Heyo
Select the best interior Olineman available in the draft. Or, pick the best interior Dlineman?
As much as I want a punishing, run stuffing Dline and top 3 talent….if Nelson or Hernandez is there at 13, lock that mofo down and address the dline in the 2nd.
If Nelson, definitely. Otherwise I want the most disruptive mauler at DT available.
If we don’t snatch up the best OG available at 13, Dallas will at 19.
Dallas has a pressing need for an OT. They could go with Connor Williams from Texas, who would be a good get.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k2MtQ_q9Vs
Thankfully, he won’t be there when they select.

Caught the movie in the theater back then. High As all get out. When that spider scene happened, I laughed so damn hard I fell out of my seat.
**Cousins had made it clear that he and his agent, Mike McCartney,
wouldn’t engage in any contract talks until the franchise tag deadline
passed. “Coach [Jay] Gruden called me [on Wednesday] and just
communicated that my desire to draw the process out through March was
going to make it tough on them,” Cousins said.**
During his interviews on Radio Row before Tuesday’s trade, Cousins repeated much of what he said at his end-of-season event with 106.7 The Fan
last month about winning being more important than money when it comes
to where he’s playing in 2018, and the ball being in the Redskins’
court.
“There’s no need to change the script,” Cousins told NBC Sports Radio’s Mike Florio and Chris Simms on Monday. “Stay consistent with the plan. … We’ll see what the Redskins want to do and then I’ll react accordingly.”
____________________________________________________
Ripped from a WaPo article.
This is the kind of nonsense from Kirk that I personally grew weary of and soured on with the guy. His public posturing of claiming to want to be in Washington, play for the Redskins, be here long-term, believing in the organization, yada-yada…claiming that the ball is in the Redskins court and he’s got to wait on them…and yet privately it’s clear that he refuses to try to do a long-term deal with the Redskins.
The choir-boy act is tiresome. Kirk’s turned mercenary and doesn’t want to be here. How much more obvious can it be? If he’d just level with the fans, instead of hiding behind this charade of innocence and Java Jam charity, I’d have a bit more respect for the guy. As it is…don;t let the door hit you on the way out.
‘According to another interview with Kirk, he “turned mercenary” in 2015, when the Redskins made him the starter, but kept Griffin on the team and didn’t want to give him a long-term contract, despite Scot McCloughan’s suggestion that they should lock him up. Someone else in the FO disagreed, because they weren’t sold on Kirk.
So Kirk’s position could best be summed up as “Fuck me? No, fuck you!”
I don’t get where people are saying that Kirk is trying to act innocent – as you just said, he has made it clear that he was looking out for himself, so I’m not sure where this narrative comes from that Cousins is acting like he had nothing to do with the situation.
The innocent act is what he portrays in public: that he wants to be here long-term and he’s just reacting to what the Redskins are doing. That hasn’t been the case for a year. He doesn’t want to be here and he’s been driving the situation by refusing to do a long-term deal.
Bear in mind, I think it’s perfectly within his right to do so. He and his agent successfully flipped the table – good for them.
But I find the public posturing on his part off-putting.
That about sums it up. It was all too obvious he didn’t want to be here. Fine. But don’t expect the Redskins to wait for you to figure out where you want to be before they get a replacement.
LOL He didn’t wait for the Redskins to figure things out, he waited for them to let him walk.
You miss the point where he was the guy who wanted to do a LTD in the first place, and Redskins didn’t. How is him not wanting to do one different?
But look Kelly, they kept him around. They kept trying to get something done. Meanwhile, he kept moving the goal. And, not delivering on the field what they were putting in his pockets.
I think seeing the best in a person is fine and all, when it’s warranted. In his case, it isn’t.
I thought he delivered on the field – he has the best two seasons in franchise history. He wasn’t interested in signing a LTD after 2015. That isn’t him moving the goal, that is him wanting to be a FA and the team choosing to franchise him.
In 2015, the Skins management, from Snyder on down, agreed to completely humiliate RG3 in favor of Kirk Cousins, making it his team.
Whatever else may have happened in subsequent negotiations where he felt low-balled, there is no way you can convince me that what happened in 2015 was somehow a slap of disrespect to Cousins. That is absurd and incredulous.
I’m just saying what he said in the interview. He and Scot wanted a LTD, the Redskins didn’t offer one. He felt slighted, shit went downhill from there.
Scot was the one that sent him a lowball offer that supposedly offended him so badly. Scot’s the one who said that he doesn’t think Kirk is special, and that he didn’t want to overpay so he could build a team around him. That’s why he was fussin Scot’s hair on the sideline with that whole “How you like me now?” stuff.
Freaking A, this cloak and dagger stuff swirling around Kirk’s negotiations from the past couple years is discombobulating. Truth is I just want to stop talking about it an move on…probably shouldn’t have even put that initial comment up.
Here goes:
Thanks for the last few years, Kirk. Good luck.
Period. Full stop. End.
Yes I agree funk. If he had been serious, he should at least made an attempt to negotiate a LTD. It appears that Gruden made one last attempt and KC ignored it

I’m a firm believer that cannabis needs to be in line with the price per pound of coffee. Which is far more laborious to harvest, and takes a helluva lot longer to get to market. Then has to travel all the way from the frign equator. And still has to be roasted!
They tell me the prices will fall,but for now it’s high.
Those are blackmarket prices I’m seeing there. At least though, you know what you’re getting and can have confidence in it being free of pesticides, fungus and whatnot.
Yes,I can get it a lot cheaper on the street ,but man some of that shit is pretty rough on ya.
Yep. In legal states, the streets need to compete. Can’t trust what you get though. It’s random.
Best you can do is find a dude that runs his own grow and buy from him. Or, her.
My son told me that they flooded the market in Washington St. and now have to bring the prices way down to get it sold.
I’ll pay a little more to know what I’m getting.

Dave Butz…awesome
We give Joey T. a good ribbing around here,but he was one hard nosed bastid with that one bar helmet.
So from what I’m gathering, McCloughan suggested the Redskins sign Kirk to an LTD in 2015, the Redskins decided not to do that, and that’s basically when Kirk decided that if the Redskins weren’t going to have faith in him, he wasn’t going to sign here.
I kinda thought it ended when he rubbed Scotts head and shouted in his face,but what do I know?
Sure am glad he decided to be a brat about it. I’d hate to be stuck with him another season or more.

According to this , Cousins camp offered up a proposal in 2016 as well

Texas Roadhouse . Nice fat steak and a couple of margaritas .
Damn eagles fans.Battery throwing, Santa hating bastards !
Don’t forget about throwing full beers – Vikings fans
It won’t happen in the Redskins stadium. You know, too many other teams fans and all…
I’d throw Philly cheese steak sub sandwiches at them, from the upper deck.
Leaves a bad taste in my mouth,but I have to say I think the eagles win the SB.I REALLY hate to say it, but I think they hit a home run with the head coach.
I must wash my mouth out and have a hit now. BRB.
I do too , and Jim Schwartz as DC .
Jim seems a little off the wall but he has coached some good defenses.
He’s just not a good head coach.
Pederson is the second coming of Andy Reid, which is exactly what Howie Roseman and the Eagles franchise needed after Chip Kelly. They never should have gotten rid of Reid in the first place, TBH.
You were asking about the pot situation in Md? One thing I can say is, take a fat wad when you go to get it if you are going after medical stuff. That shit is outrageously over priced right now!
Good to hear, thanks. I also hear that DC dispensaries accept out-of-state medical cards, so that might be the better option
Eagles D is fo’ real. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
This trade makes no sense to me if I’m Kansas City. Do they think they’re better off next year with Mahomes over Smith? Why not hang on the one more year that was left on his contract and then go with Mahomes? Did they need out of the 17mil that was left on Smith’s contract?
They think Mahomes is ready and a starting 22 year old CB .
They’re going to be worse next year than they were this year. The team went to hell when defenses stopped Hunt and it forced Smith to do it all on offense.
IDK, they all love Mahomes . Huge arm and athletic as hell.
I wanted him.
Mahomes is the future. You don’t leave a top-10 draft pick on the bench two years in a row. Smith is at the end of his career, and Mahomes is at the start. Getting $17mm cap space, a 22yr old baller at CB (they needed CB help) and a 3rd round pick while introducing your hot young QB?
Whether you ask KC fans or NFL experts, this was a *great* trade for KC.
(looks up from his J.T.Kirk chair) ” REEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIDDDD ” ! (hangs head)
Thanks Kelly, for slapping me out of my heaven. I changed my avatar,lol.
I’m happy to slap you around whenever needed 🙂
I think Cousins wanted to wait to see who was interested in him when March 14th came and either the Redskins FT’d and kept him locked up for another season at a high price (unlikely) TT’d him which would be expensive as well but would show that the Redskins really wanted him long term (again unlikely) or he would be a Free Agent. Any way you cut it the end state he wanted to get to was this. Which teams are really interested in me (making offers) and which of those teams are the best? i.e. he knows this team isn’t going anywhere soon but a team like Jacksonville, Denver, Houston, Arizona, etc might be closer to being a play-off contender so he’d go with them. The Redskins just bowed out of contention gracefully. Cousins can now go forward and see which teams want him, and which one he thinks is in the best position to win right now.
Hey Hope. How goes it?
Doin good… 3 weeks abroad was tiring though… and you?
He’s not doing well .
Splendid here thanks.
There’s nothing the Redskins could have done to achieve a LTD . Not one thing . Cousins is a fraud , and just wants attention . He is only about money . He should have been more grateful to the organization for drafting him.
Hi Buck… you seem bitter…
That’s the new narrative . I just want to fit in.
Laughing… ahhh soooo
Sarcasm font on…
Who’s getting #8, the rookie we draft? Kyle “the Spider” Lauletta (#5), or Chase Litton (#14)? I say nobody.

It’ll be fun to watch Alex Smith for a couple of years. This franchise is a fucking joke, though.
C’mon Kelly,tell us how you REALLY feel. You know you can’t get enough.
It’s been 25 years since this team was good.
What about that one run to the playoffs….
I got nothin’.
We didn’t have a good team in 2012, we had an option concept that other teams didn’t figure out for 6 weeks. Once they figured out how to stop it, the shittiness of the team was revealed unto all.
(hangs head) I know I’ve been watching also.
We were pretenders. Not contenders.
Brutal stretch

According to some, defensive backs are easy to replace. And the only way that I would agree with that is if we get another couple stud defensive lineman so that we will get pressure without having to Blitz.

First time I saw him on TV he was doing a standup routine about how cliff diving competitions end up with one grand champion accepting the medal, and then instead of any runner-ups there was just a bunch of stuff on a rock.

On the plus side, Scherff and Allen were excellent draft picks, so I’m looking forward to that #13.
Gotta hit on those first rounders.
Side eyeing you Doctson
I’m not down on Doctson yet. Not saying you are, but a lot of folks here are. I think he’s about where he should be given his first year injury. I am not going to expect Allen to play like a second-year pro next year, either.
You don’t HAVE to be down on him yet… but he has not produced to a round one pedigree in 2 years… simple as that
Not even a third round pedigree at this point
I thought he was fine this year.
Fine is what you expect from Ryan Grant
I thought Grant was fine, too… but it took Grant like 3 years to get to fine. I think Josh got there faster, which is what I’d expect.
What round was Grant taken in?
was he even drafted?
Who’s buried in his tomb?
Hoffa
5th round
The draft, sets an expectation. It’s not an indicator of performance.
…and the expectation is that a first rounder would perform MUCH better than a 5th rounder… and much sooner.
I’m not, I got in a fight with a 60 some year old DOD guy up here about him.
Shit, Allen played like second year pro THIS year.
Yeah he did.
Shereff was Scot. Allen was God. I’m sorry, I’m not helping.
Even Bruce couldn’t screw up the Jon Allen pick. No brainer of the decade, he was a top five talent. There was a run on WR, QB, DB and boom.
Ikr
The fans would have crucified him if he didn’t pull the trigger on that
I’d have been just as happy if he had taken Reuben Foster, tbh.
^ Fair enough.
^ I had the pitchforks and torches set up outside the garage. As he dropped, I got more and more anxious.
The blog blew the hell up. Dudes were acting like we just got our cherry popped.
And then that behind the scene video happened…
no way to not get misty watching Allen land on his childhood team.
I hate the delay on TV.
I was looking at a Chiefs blog to get their take on the Smith trade (they are ecstatic), and a similar reaction was had when they drafted mahomes
I have a neighbor that is a Chiefs fan… he’s happy to get Fuller. Was fine with Alex leaving
Yeah, that’s the sentiment I’ve been seeing. Also, they’re convinced that the Broncos are going to overpay to get Kirk Cousins. Among the convinced it’s split roughly 50-50 whether Cousins is someone they shouldn’t worry about or someone they don’t want in their division.
Watching Skins fans go through stages of grief.
Why would anyone be feeling grief?
I’m happy it’s over. Kirk was the best we’ve had in a long time… but he’s never going to put a team on his back and carry them over the finish line. And he’d just as soon fill his pockets then leave money for others. Buh… bye….
And, we ended up with a pretty good QB.
Yeah, about Fuller, not the chick.
That the spirit – we didn’t want or need Cousins, or Fuller or a third round pick. This is all for the best.
I wouldn’t go THAT far… but I sure as shit ain’t gonna cry over Fuller for Smith
Fuller & a 3rd round pick for Smith*.
No need for anyone to cry over it – we’re probably going to get 2 years or so of pretty good play from the QB position.
We’ll get that third back next year… so Fuller for Smith
Fuller and a third for Smith. Getting the compensation pick next year would have happened no matter who we picked up to play QB – we lost a 3rd round pick in that trade.
So Fuller for Smith…
Dude…
Homie…
Buddy
Buddy, homie, DUUUUUUUDE
(train wreck)
Homie I told you we shoulda taken the bus
Yes and we can trade down to get the pick back it’s not hard.
You know you give up something when you trade down, right?
Nuh uh!
They’re magic! You just tap your heels and *-poof-* there’s a draft pick there.
We wanted Cousins, but he wasn’t signing here, so we went out and got his replacement.
The 3rd rounder and Fuller are the price for doing that. Wish we could have kept Fuller, but that obviously wasn’t possible in order to get Smith.
No it was a good trade. Alex Smith was the only QB we could have gotten, so it made sense.
He was by far the best QB we could have gotten.
You must have gotten up here late this morning.
There’s a certain dude up here earlier that needs a whole bottle of Xanax. To listen to him we just did the worst thing in football ever…
I missed out on that. Been a busy day with the baby today.
Cousins didn’t want to be here and Fuller had one good year he can be replaced and a 3rd round pick can be replaced easily. The only people upset are the ones that were Kirk groupies.
He was 22 Flounder, how many good years did you need from him?
…all of them
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1a7325b43fde9b9bb1788b9425479c143b0a4de8f0fb163cf0628823d3853e8d.jpg
Wait. What’s with this guy?
– 31 other GMs
I think Jay has some “pull” in this organization.
I sure hope so.
He does at this point in his tenure. If he really saw Kirk as irreplaceable, they likely tag him again.
Jay should have been the first dude over it already with that guy. Too much hassle, too much maintenance, too much bullcrap…not enough wins.
He was did you hear him talk he was ready to move on.
“He’s a 7-9 quarterback”
Galdi was saying he is the guy that has the most say with Bruce even more so than Doug Williams, I mean take that for what it’s worth I don’t think we will ever know if it’s true.
I will go out on a limb and say if Jay didn’t want Smith they wouldn’t have gotten Smith. Bruce is tied to Jay because he hired him so it’s to his benefit if jay gets what he wants and wins.
“Wait…this is NOT FAIR….I was gonna string you along until the night before the prom, break up with you and go with another dude!!!”-
MWAHAHAHA
Fans won’t see it, but the Redskins rebounded the best way they could. Had Kirk strung them along until March and chose someone else (which he would have), Smith would be gone. They went after who they wanted.
I think most on here do. Twitter? Ain’t going there.
They made the best of a bad situation (mostly of their own doing).
And of all the potentially available QBs–Smith, the three Minny QBs, McCarron or Dalton, Tyrod Taylor, etc.–Smith was probably the best option, though McCarron may have worked out well.
And of course, they now don’t have to draft a QB.
Good point…if Gruden REALLY wanted McCarron, they would have had him.
“Wait, they dumped me first?”- Cousins
Bingo, Rick gets it.
“busted a nut”
That cracked me up.
Probably not an accurate description, though, maybe “leaked alittle”?
Holy crap…I’m actually optimistic about opening day. And we’re still no where near FA and the draft.
Denver offered a 2nd round pick and Talib for Smith so to think their all in on Cousins is short sighted.
Had the Redskins not gotten Smith he would have been traded to another team.
and then my guess is the Skins would be in the post-superbowl Nick Foles market
Yuck. Sure is too bad about Fuller, lol.
That’s one of two things. Division rival’s or Kendall Fuller has value, probably a combination of the two.
Fuller.
Was my 1st thought.
They already have a nut job at corner adding Talib would be trouble and expensive.
Deflecting. So what you’re saying is, Fuller has more value to KC than Talib.
Smith wanted the LTD that Washington offered, either he had a no trade clause, or the Chiefs are incredibly nice
What did Denver offer?
the only deal that we sort of know about that I am aware is Cleveland, and they were not interested in signing Smith to that many years… more like a 1 year (maybe 2) rental
And if you’re John Elway…Of course the Redskins offered a good deal, it’s how we roll.
Chiefs way to smart to take on Talib’s salary at his age. Fuller still on his rookie deal too.
There’s that value thing again….
Denver is going to likely have to cut Talib to make room for a vet QB salary anyway, so he’s prob going to be offered along with any trade deal.
They may try to offer him up to Washington, just to get this thing done before Free Agency, but I don’t think Kirk really wants to do that (but for the right deal, he might) and I don’t think Washington wants that contract
Chiefs, Mike, the Kansas City Chiefs.
?
I was talking about Denver trying to trade with Washington and get a Cousins deal locked up before free agency
Sand was talking about the Chiefs not wanting Talib, but hey, we can talk about the never gonna happen Kirk deal.
Kirk’s a FA and no team should really be all-in on him until he signs a deal.
Elway’s smart and probably has plans A, B, C, and D lined up already.
I got a hunch that Kirk, though I’m sure he’s happy to get to FA, also feels rejected because the Skins went ahead and pulled the trigger. This is telling of the personality not normally projected to the public. We’re used to seeing him use his “telephone voice”. This is most commonly found in humans of the female persuasion. Just sayin’, ain’t none of my business….
Oh yeah he probably wanted them to be in on the bidding, so when he picked another team they would be without a good QB.
A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The Lion roared in the darkness…
I still think things really soured at some point between Kirk and the FO. We’ll never know and I don’t really care, glad we’ve moved on.
I think Jay wanted some finality to all this as well.
And that’s the best reason of all to move on. It’s the last we want our HC to have to deal with.
Good for Jay to be free of this crap.
Whatshisface wasted his time most of all.
They gave him his own little cubby to jam out to Creed to.
I mean….they bent over backwards and then some for that guy. And what’d he do? Act like so what who cares every time he crapped the bed on the field.
LOL. Did you not have your coffee this morning? You sure are fired up.
That reminds me. It’s Kona Friday!
Now your talkin’! My sister lives on the BI and send me magnificent bags of roasted beans from a little mom-n-mom grower there.
So what are we talking in trade here?
How about a monogram, forged steak brand? Maybe Texas sipping Whiskey? Rebecca’s Creek. Smoooooth stuff.
You’re focused to much on outcomes. Remember, Kirk was process-oriented (glad I won’t have to hear that again).
KC going on about how all he wants is to win is nauseating. Said it from the beginning: if all he REALLY wanted was to win he would have taken a good offer last year and gotten on with it. Now his most likely destinations are the Jets and Denver, and I don’t think either of those teams is better situated than we would have been if he signed here.
Denver has a terrible oline and that defense is falling apart. Plus, their HC seems to be in over his head. Good luck winning there, Kirk.
I think Denver can turn it around pretty quick. Elway blew it by trading up and drafting Lynch and he’ll need to make some cap space, but it won’t be too painful.
The one thing they have going for them is that all teams in their division have lots of question marks.
True dat. Chiefs are still solid, Mahomes is gonna be a good one me thinks.
I think he’ll be good as well. Will probably have some bumps his first year as a starter.
Hell hath no fury like a hamster scorned. Goodbye Kirk, Hello and welcome Alex. Can’t wait for March.
Me neither February sucks.
Yeah. Only good thing about February is pitchers and catchers reporting. And the game on Sunday, that’s always fun and a bit melancholic with the formal end to the season.
But there’s Valentine’s Day to celebrate. What guy doesn’t love that?
Steve Bisciotti “certainly” thought about a coaching change
Posted by Josh Alper on February 2, 2018, 2:19 PM EST
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti announced on Friday that 2018 will be General Manager Ozzie Newsome’s final year in that job and he said there was some thought given to having Newsome oversee a search for a new head coach before stepping down.
Bisciotti said he “certainly” thought about replacing John Harbaugh after the Ravens missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years. He said that he was proud of the way the team closed the year as they went 5-2 after the bye week to finish with a 9-7 record, but made it clear that he’s expecting a better outcome in 2018.
“I’m not going to give a playoff [or] bust edict to you all or my coach,” Bisciotti said, via Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. “He’s under as much pressure than probably he’s ever been in his life. I expect him to keep his chin up … and make the most of the season.”
Bisciotti rejected the idea that the franchise is at a “crossroad,” but it sounds like a new direction could be in the cards if another disappointing season coincides with the end of Newsome’s long run at the top of the personnel department.
The thing I noticed most about the MJ video (nevermind the words) was the change in Kirk’s tone and demeanor.
Yes because he finally knows he is going to become a FA wich is what he has always wanted, he probably busted a nut when he heard the news.
There’s more than that.
he thought there was going to be a March 14th tea party at 5 PM where he was going to have like six teams’ bids to go through
but most clubs want to wrap this up before FA
and it is that, if there’s going to be anything, that still gives the Redskins a tiny chance of receiving some compensation for him
Their will be a couple teams that make him offers but it won’t be the love fest people are talking about.
if they get a good offer, the Eagles might take a team off that list by trading Foles
Colin Kapernick and RGIII looking back at the end of the 2012 season: WTF happened?
could have had Kaep and kept the pick and Fuller!!!
FO failure!!!
LOL
Reputation…in the toilet
Josh RosenSquinns btg • 12 minutes ago
See my comment below. I think a lot of RGIII’s phoniness rubbed off on him when they had to share a room at camp. I blame RGIII for this debacle.
———–
LOL
Told y’all … you bet on the wrong horse. Spilled milk!
That’s wierd because didn’t he get the starting job?
The whole “oh poor me I found out on twitter about the trade” from KC grinds my gears
How about that sweater?
The more that comes out about the Smith trade, the more I like….NOW Kirk is saying Washington was an option, and Washington can win….blah, blah, blah…The team DID want to negotiate in good faith but Kirk wanted to wait a bit longer.
We couldn’t
Kirk is full of it. Since the end of the season, I’ve gotten really tired of his routine. Yeah, he wants to win. And yeah, he’s just going to follow the lord’s plan.
He just wanted to play somewhere else. That’s fine, but don’t give me all the mumbo-jumbo he’s been spouting. Glad this saga is over. And I don’t think he’ll ever take a team deep into the playoffs.
It’s not so much that he wants to play somewhere else
He wants to wait until free agency find the BIGGEST offer and see if the redskins will match it
While putting himself before the team
Good and bye
Let me reiterate: He’s a two-face mercenary. I get it. I understand it. He beat the Redskins in the game. But as a Skins fan, I don’t have to like it.
He is full of shit he was never going to sign here he made that very clear with his actions. He even told the team he was not going to negotiate before FA’s. Let him go to his new team and hopefully he gets a great situation.
Bingo
He’s in scramble mode now
Comes across as phony to me
See my comment below. I think a lot of RGIII’s phoniness rubbed off on him when they had to share a room at camp. I blame RGIII for this debacle.
At least the debacle of the 2012 draft has finally come to an end.
Don’t worry, the Skins will find a new debacle to embroil themselves in. They always find a way.
True.
At the very least, we have a very good QB next year and no contact issues. I’ve always liked Alex Smith and thought he got a raw deal in SF. Goes to KC and continues to win. Looking forward to seeing what he can do here with Jay.
Where I am also
I don’t know about that
RGIII is the root of all evil. It can all be traced back to him.
All of this isn’t that complicated. Cousins ultimately wanted a 5 year deal. The Redskins never had any intention of giving it to him. The end.
I can understand their reluctance to dump out the Brinks truck for him for five years. With what, total guaranteed money of $100 mil? $110? More?
at that level, the guarantees wouldn’t become guaranteed until the X days after the league year… so once the team decided to keep him, he would be locked in (like a franchise tag, but usually its only a partial salary g) for that year.
BS why would cousins want a 5 year deal? The shorter the deal the better since NFL contracts aren’t guaranteed for years. The only part of a contract that is guaranteed is the signing bonus and then their are injury guarantees. The years of the contract are irrelevant and shorter years would get the player to FA’s faster. Kirk has said several times he likes playing on shorter contracts.
In the end, what matters the most with contracts is total guaranteed money.
Yes the years make no difference most guy never see year 4 or 5 of their contract they are only written as 4-5 years for cap purposes.
Yep. He did say that he likes those one year deals.
Who wouldn’t like the deals he was getting!
He said it was about the players. Like he’s some sort of player rep.
NFL contracts have no guaranteed money past 3 years, your either being cut after 3 or the contract gets renegotiated. Their written as 5 year deals so the signing bonus can be spread out over 5 years. Cousins wanted to be a FA that’s it nothing more nothing less he was never going to negotiate you know how I know because he in fact did not counter the offer he was made.
That and in an interview on 1067, I believe he essentially said that there wasn’t a a dollar amount the Redskins could have offered him last offseason that he would have accepted.
I utterly don’t accept that. There’s ALWAYS a price.
I know all about how contracts work, thanks. I’ve done nothing but study them and the salary cap for the last 3 seasons. Cousins very clearly wanted stability. A 5 year deal at what he viewed as his market price would’ve done it.

In 3 years, the Team Kirk folks will be mad because Kirk will probably have a good career in Denver or with the Jets, where ever. The Team RGIII Anti Kirk Team people will be mad too, because they will have been wrong about Kirk and won’t accept it. And Redskins fans will be mad because Dan Snyder isn’t dead.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
I’m team Redskins and I won’t give a shit wat Kirk does because he didn’t want to play here so it’s not like we would have had him anyway. Unless Kirk takes a team deep in the playoffs or to the SB he will be what he was here a good QB but not worth the money.
I have a feeling DEN, MIN, JAX, or whoever will be a bit surprised when Kirk lays an egg in a really important game for them.
“And Redskins fans will be mad because Dan Snyder isn’t dead.”

Despite still being recreationally illegal, possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana for personal use is a civil offence with a maximum fine of $100. However, if you have between 10 grams and 50 pounds of marijuana, it is a misdemeanor punishable by 1 year in jail and and/or up to $1,000 fine. For public use of marijuana, offenders can be charged a civil fine of up to $500.

Minus the Ostrich Clan, a local fringe group.
#Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti announces at a press conference that legendary GM Ozzie Newsome will step down next year and Eric DeCosta will take over.

Damn good GM.. At least he was, back in the day.
What I was saying was…
It’s too bad that we can’t get Decosta in the FO
That organization knows how to train and retain.
Would you consider FT’ing Zach Brown now?
Cost?
Sorry, TT.
14 mill
Sorry! I meant Transition Tag, I would not FT.
11.92 mil
But right of first refusal if/when he gets a contract offer.
Assuming he doesn’t sign it right away of course.
No. He’s definitely a guy the Redskins should try and keep, but he isn’t a net positive in pass coverage.
Our pass coverage will be taken care of by our legions of rising young cornerbacks. I wouldn’t worry about pass coverage.
I’d worry about TEs running free down the seam, which is normally a LB duty to cover, not a CB. So, yeah.
I’m pulling your chain 🙂
What is he wanting per year? I thought I read 10 mil a year.
His linebacker buddy on Twitter claims he never asked for $10 mil per
People getting awfully salty toward Kirk.
Weird… he beat the Skins at their own game. Nothing to be angry at… teams are rarely loyal to their players (especially this team). Why should he be any different?
It’s a coping mechanism.
We’re going to be hearing about Cousins for years, just like we still hear about RG3 sometimes…the Team Kirk crowd will forever be mad.
if he were to go to Cleveland and bring them a championship he’s be Lebron James x 10
Kirk didn’t want to be drafted here, that much is for sure.
I’m particularly sick of hearing that
32 NFL teams were in agreement for the majority of four rounds worth of picks
Talk about ungrateful
Seems to me a lot of said teams were wrong about him too.
No he didn’t . What QB wants to be drafted behind a guy they a plan on turning the franchise over too ? Nobody . Fortunately for the Redskins , he bailed them out of an embarrassing situation regarding RG . Set some franchise records , couple of back to back winning seasons , provided some class and character to the position .
Kirk Cousins may be this era’s Sonny. Their careers to this point are very similar if you look at their stats and career arks.
Both spent years on the bench, didn’t become the starter of their team till 27 years old, had 3 very productive years on their first team, and left because of conflicts with the front office. Both put up big QB numbers, but played for .500 football teams.
So there it is. Been saying it for two seasons. He isn’t and doesn’t want to be a Redskin.
He wasted the team’s and the fan’s time.
Kick that guy to the curb and stop letting him take up and space in your head. Go cold on his ass.
O well. Moved on, hope he finds what he;s looking for.
Pretty sure that they did just that
How did he waste the team’s time? The team decided to tag him.
Gee Kell, I don’t know.
Maybe if he had been up front from the start…we’d be two years closer and or into the next QB. You tag a guy to buy the time to get a LTD deal done. He was never going to do it. That’s called, wasting everyone’s time.
Their are still plenty of guys who love the team they play for and want to be there.
Su’a!
Kikr is gone good for him lets see how it works out for him I doubt he will ever be more then a good QB but maybe he will win a SB who knows. Time to move forward we have a new QB that wants to be here.
Kirk has obviously parlayed his 2 1/2 good seasons into a boatload of money, with another boat waiting to unload, but there’s another side to this thing. Maybe he doesn’t care about it, but there are real rewards for players who ingratiate themselves to the team and the fans. Guys like Theismann, Sonny, Doc Walker, BMitch, etc. have been embraced by the Washington community and essentially made second careers out of being “real” Redskins. KC won’t need the money, but I’m sure there are also emotional rewards to being so revered by the town in which you played.
I don’t think that (team star) motivates Kirk. He wants to be a NFL level star like Mr Brady
Kirk wants the cash
1,0000000000 times this
Yes he does always has.
Kirk has said he wants his prominence and his money to be used for good. and therefore, he wants football stardom and money for his ends. winning is part of being a star.
Sonny spent 1/2 his career in Philly, BMitch played there and NYC. Theismann played 2 years in the CFL before the NFL, Doc in Cinci.
None of them spent their whole career in 1 city. Kirk will be embraced where he has success.
This is true, but they all had the BEST years here, and despite what they did before or after they always identified as Skins (except for BMitch who took a few years to get over his snit).
A lot of us pine for the days that football players were proud of the team they played for. They were lifelong Redskins, Cowboys, Jets, Dolphins, etc.
The NFL no longer fosters that spirit. And the fans take the hit. That’s a reason why I won’t by the jersey of a current player.
Free Agency
It’s sure not like the good old days, but there are still players like that. Guys you just can’t imagine playing for any other team. On the Skins I’d say TWill and Kerrigan fit the mold.
Still got lots of guys who stick with the team that drafted them and the cities that adopted them.
Didn’t seem as smitten and confident in that interview with Mike Jones (tubby)
Team KSFTG…vindicated
Not sure why people are mad at Kirk. The Redskins created the game board… and Kirk beat them at their own game.

Ah…
Keep Swinging Fists Till Groundhogs
Kelly Should Find The Gold
Not mad here. Time to move on.
KSFTSOBL
F that Sumbitch Loser
It’s not mad, just facts. Personally I value the “process”, doing this the right way.
Asking him if he wants to negotiate before making the trade for Smith, is the right way of doing things.
You don’t ask him if he wants to negotiate; you just make him an offer, say to him, “we like you, we wish you were here, but this is it; take it or leave it; you have 48 hours.” He’d probably say no, which is fine.
Don’t think he was even interested in an offer. His goal the whole time has been to reach FA.
I don’t agree. All he ever wanted was a market value contract. Now he’ll get one.
He hurt his career more than he wasted our time.
He lost.
LOL no he did not
He got super paid, put up huge stats and is about to cash in wherever he wants. How is that losing?
It’s his reputation.
That matters.
Riiiiight… the only people thinking about his reputation are sore-feelinged Redskins fans, though.
Nah. FOs all around the league are. Players too.
I think you’re projecting.
https://media.giphy.com/media/wigYtmnhMp18Q/giphy.gif
Hurt it to the tune of $44 mil and a YUGE pending FA contract
Yes he did.
He’s the next Carson Palmer
Sure, someone will sign him. But now everyone knows he’s not a team guy.
Shirley you’re not serious.
Gotta admit, I am kinda mad. And I know it’s not rational, because teams act this way every single day. Probably should admire him for beating them at their own game.
Not mad at Kirk just think he was never going to negotiate and FA’s is what he wanted. Hope he gets what he wants but time for us to move on.
Watch the Mike Jones interview…
Why does kirk try and say he wanted to be a redskins because if so he never showed that.
Kirk plays the game… simple as that
Ozzie Newsom stepping down in Hon’town after the next season
Huh. He’s been at it for a long time though.
Yes he has. Lot of success there too. Can’t knock him for it.
HoF’er as a player, should be HoF’er as a GM…that’s a pretty good run.
What would happen if we transition tagged Cousins?
The sun would rise in the west, and I’d be proven wrong again.
We could very easily get stuck with a $28 mil QB
That wears sky-blue sweaters.
I don’t think it would serve any purpose other than his 1st year salary being prob a bigger cap hit on his LTD in Denver
Why would he do that? He’d insist on going to free agency again next year.
transition tag is like, prob within $1 mil of his market value, so it doesn’t serve as much deterrent to another team matching, and it gives the team no trade leverage because of that
and yes, the downside risk is that they pay $52 mil to the QBs
I bet he get’s $30 mil per… which is over paying
28.5 max if it’s like Stafford/Luck structure; but if it IS $30 mil that contract prob has a lot of fake crazy stuff in it in the last two years

We wouldn’t be able to sign another FA to our roster if we tried that.
initially, yep
it makes no sense, doesn’t give the team trade leverage, it would just be annoying to everyone involved
Just looking for some way to make it more difficult for him.
Why? Spite is no way to go through negotiations/Free agency
Exactly. Goodbye and good luck, Kirk.

What would happen is that the Redskins would instantly obligate $28.8M of their salary cap, which would be the bonehead move of all time.
Kirk told Mike Jones in an interview on Facebook live that the Redskins DID reach out to him and told him they wanted him and he told the Skins he intended to let this go to March.

Good thing we went out and got the best stop gap QB available.
Bye Kirk
It’s not about the money unless it’s about the money
I heard him in another interview where he said the Redskins had NOT opened negotiations with him.
He refused to negotiate…
Hope he’s a Jet by next season
And gets Molly Whopped every game
Browns, baby!
I don’t hold any ill will against the guy… it’s a business, and he’s playing the game very well.
So which time was he lying?
He’s not… what he meant was is that the Redskins told him they wanted him and he said “Not so fast…” Can’t negotiate with someone how refuses to negotiate. He’s a word parser
Seems to me that the Redskins reaching out and telling you that they want you is a way of opening up negotiations (which, he promptly shut down). Semantics, I guess.
Either way, fuck that guy.
He’s shaken, I can smell it.
I watch way to much TV. 24 was such hot garbage that they should have never made Legacy. A-Team is just fun and campy. Wonder Years & Family Guy were ahead of their time in their respective genres.
Fun fact – I’ve never seen seen one single moment of a broadcast of either Family Guy or The Wonder Years.
I watched a few episodes of GOT to see what the fuss was all about, but it didn’t hold my interest.
A few episodes in, there’s no payoff. The show is a slow cook.
I’ve probably seen a total of 10 minutes.
So you never got any of Robbie’s Family Guy impressions haha
Loved the Wonder Years growing up. Watched about ten minutes of the Family Guy.

So unlike all the reports, the #Redskins DID reach out to Kirk after the season and wanted a fair negotiation. Kirk reiterated that he wanted to test the market. I’m going to miss him. But I don’t want a QB that doesn’t want to be a Redskin. Very sad. Time to move on. #HTTR
Truth
Love the laundry
Not guys holding the team hostage
How do we KNOW this?
Fuck this guy
If that’s true than I have 0 problems with the moves we made. As long as they tried to reach out to Kirk first, then they did the right thing. And I told you all that this would come out eventually, if they talked to his side or not, it would get leaked.
Like this move even more
He wants us to wait until he’s ready to make a decision
Team first
Exactly. Can’t expect that to work for any employer
If this is true?
Kirk told Mike Jones in an interview this very thing an hour ago… and it’s on video

24 is the only one I have watched
You never watched the A Team?
I may have to rethink my opinion of you
Here and there I did
Nothing consistent
Not to tell others what to do. But if you don’t vote for Family Guy you’re a commie.
Isn’t the creator of Family Guy a commie?
Well technically the creator of everything up there was a commie from your POV.
Sure sure
24 is the only answer.
And I’m going Wonder Years, even though I loved the A Team as a 9 year old. But after a Skins victory, Winnie Cooper made for a perfect end to the evening.
Weird but true fact: I have never watched more then 20 consecutive seconds of either 24 or Family Guy.
Forced!
