ORIGINAL: Dana Turner Lets face it, the reason so many of us are so down on Cousins is because we held out hope that he would be better than what he has showed his entire career. If we want to relieve some of the stress, we just need to understand that even though he's being paid a lot of dough, he's just an average QB and not expect anything different. I have seen enough of his body of work to understand that he is best if there isn't pressure on him to perform and our current offense should be able to minimize the need for these types of situations. We came back on GB yesterday, running the ball, not passing it. So, if we can get the head coach to have his team prepared right out of the gate, maybe we won't be so far behind and not need Cousins to feel the pressure. I hope they keep Dakota right where he's at, this offensive line can be special with time. Elf makes a better swing guy/backup. I feel the same way Phil about Diggs play yesterday, I even mentioned it to my brother. With Cousins not playing at his best, we don't need Diggs being a dumbass out there, we needed leadership and he certainly didn't show that. That is one of the huge differences between Diggs and AT. I am wondering about the booth review after the TD Diggs scored on the drag across the middle. They called Cook for blocking in the end zone, even though no flag was thrown. Does that mean they are now going to scour every scoring play to look for a penalty that didn't get called. The hit in the end zone was five yards away from the play, Diggs wasn't going to get stopped by they guy that had contact with Cook. I don't know if I've ever seen a review of a TD and had a penalty called from the booth when there wasn't a penalty called on the field. That was very strange and sets a very bad president. Exactly how I feel on all points Dana. I had hope for Cousins but watching him week in and week out I just don’t see a guy that will make the plays under pressure. His pocket presence is lacking. Dakota looked good and I think having his size in there will help Bradbury until he get used to the NFL. I love the way Diggs plays but, even when he scores, he just seems angry. After the Minneapolis Miracle the way he stood up on the bench with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face soured the moment a little bit for me. Go celebrate with your teammates. It might just be the younger generation and maybe I’m out of touch now but I didn’t get that. Taking his helmet off after the TD yesterday is just plain selfish and stupid. If they are gonna do that every replay for a TD, they better start calling back half the TD’s from within the 10 yd line because pick plays happen all the time.
