ORIGINAL: Chris Olson Not that I think Kirko Chainz is going to get this team anywhere, but sure is fascinating My thought exactly. Of course I thought the same thing with Murray. Kirko’s rigor mortis is just a shade under Wentz but obviously a much better arm in a clean pocket. In the end, KC was just a big ol’ tease his first time here. And a gigantic bamboozler. I’m sure he’ll show up invigorated, like when you take your old dog to the vet … enough adrenaline to actually get spunky for a short burst. Give it four or five weeks with this OL, Kirko and Wentzy will be fighting it out to be first in the sideline tent, like the two old guys in ‘Up’. Raiders OLine might be worse than ours. Reading some of his stats this year, Cousins negative play rate was low, TDs and yards are high and INTs were pretty low. But, we are throwing him to the wolves with GB at Lambeau and SF playing at a very high level. He's going from a great playcaller to this bum. I dont have high expectations but I don't mind it for the lower 3rd rounder to try something. He did pretty well with the bum the last time around. And we have a defense this time around. We had a sieve the last time Cousins was here. But, he is 38 this time around. Should be interesting. Like Darnold, he did pretty well until it mattered most. Flores’ defenses haven’t held up as well the last few games of the season either. Everyone has a lot to prove. I would much rather have Cousins than muray wentz brosmer - for this situation. Cousins had to go the first time around period. As a temporary fix, it could be a lot worse. I think it’s a mistake to equate what he did with the raiders and project that onto us. There’s the gestalt thing of the individual pieces creating their own unique whole … we’ll see how it functions this time around. More critically important than anything else, I’m just happy I get to dust off the ‘Egyptians coming up on him from behind’ routine.
