Sooo, how about those Redskins?
At this point it looks like even if RG3 were healthy, the Redskins defense (particularly the secondary) is in shambles and they're simply not going to be able to stop any of the better passing teams in the NFL. It'll be interesting to see next week how they fare against the Lions, but I have to think that going up against the best receiver in the league is not going to go well.
Of course some people are talking about benching RG3, but I don't think that's going to be enough. Personally I think they should put Cousins in. RG3 can swear up and down that his knee is 100% but he wouldn't be wearing a brace if that knee were 100%. And he definitely isn't as dynamic and explosive as he was last year. It just seems like the risk is not worth it, especially considering that Washington traded away the future to get the guy.
