Note: I am NOT absolving Cousins for his play against the Cowboys. When he plays like this, it makes me regret ever defending anything he does. It pissed me off, to be frank.S197 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 6:18 pmNot having an offensive minded coach is a definite hindrance, I'll concede. The OL did a decent job in pass protection yesterday and yet the offense gained -4 yards off two defensive turnovers, stalled after getting gifted an offsides on a punt, and settled for a FG on a drive the refs were practically giving to them.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 5:35 pm
He absolutely has good weapons to work with. The line has been another matter. I wouod also like to see more competition at WR behind the top two guys. I don't believe he has had an offensive coach like McVay or Gruden in his corner here though.
It's not all on Cousins obviously but the guy has major flaws and is vastly overpaid. Stafford is on a completely different tier.
But the offensive line was terrible.
Every O-lineman except O’Neill gave up at least four pressures, and he gave up two. Cousins was pressured on 40% of his dropbacks.
Again, not an excuse. But the offense as a whole stunk up the joint, not just Cousins.
