Albert Breer on Cousins’ Benching, Colts Offseason Decisions, and Texans Offensive Questions
https://www.youtube.com/@SportsIllustrated
Penix is the future…let him prove it
You and Middlekauf are my two favorite football talking heads
Well Cousins certainly played great in several earlier games ( like TB twice ) to position atl to win the division. They have the tie breaker with tb so they are still in a fair position to win the division with a fresh and injury free QB and a light schedule.
Can we all admit stroud hasn’t played well?
Texans have a lot of injuries. Also playing a first place schedule as opposed to the last place schedule they faced last year. Also not sneaking up on anyone. Their defense though made Josh Allen look pedestrian
That’s it, on Cousins. What I’ve been saying since we made the less than wise FA acquisition of him. Love Cousins as a person, and a healthy player. But given this analysis, the obvious question is “What the F— were the Falcons thinking overpaying for an aging QB trying to come back from an Achilles tear?” Stupid move.
I think, unless Penix balls out in these 3 games, Kirk will be back as the starter next year and he’ll be in a better spot physically. It takes about 1.5 years to heal fully from an achilles.
I don't understand how teams like the Jets and Falcons putting huge money into injured, older QB'"s……..
The coaches and players most see something so give the young man a chance the GIANTS are TANKING!!!
Bro spent 5 min talkin about Kirk cousins
If Ballard is retained Irsay will lose the fan base. It’s that simple.
