Drops- PFF credited the Redskins with 2 drops (both by Crowder) in the game. The site has the offense with a total of 25 drops on the year, the sixth most by any team this season (49ers, Giants, Raiders, Browns and Cardinals).
young wrs do this
Kirk Cousins (Sacks)- The Cowboys registered 4 sacks on Cousins for a total of 27 yards, which brings KC’s totals on the year to 35 sacks for 296 yards.
Only Matthew Stafford (36 sacks) and Jacoby Brissett (43 sacks) have been sacked more this season. No player has lost more yards on sacks than Cousins has. Brissett (253) and Josh McCown (245) are the only other players with over 200 sack yards.
Cousins is currently on pace to finish 2017 with 47 sacks for 395 yards. That would be the third most sacks and the most sack yards taken by a Redskins quarterback since at least 1969, which is as far back as sack data goes.
I know the offensive line is, as Jay Gruden would like to say, “FUBAR”, but these sack and fumble numbers are historically bad. Some of the blame has to lie with Kirk Cousins, as well
Kirk Cousins (Turnovers)- Kirk Cousins threw two interceptions and fumbled twice, one of which was recovered by the Cowboys. Cousins has only thrown a pick on 1.9% of his passes this season, but he leads the NFL with 12 fumbles and ranks 3rd in lost fumbles, with 5 of them.
He is on pace to fumble 16 times this season (1 per game), which would break Sammy Baugh’s 70-year-old franchise record of 15 fumbles in a single season.
Cousins has now thrown multiple interceptions in 13 career games; the team is 0-13 in those games. He has turned the ball over two or more times in 19 career contests, and he has not led the Skins to a win in any one of those games
I don’t know if the team hasn’t been good enough to overcome the turnovers or if Cousins just hasn’t been able to mentally come back from the mistakes, but there definitely seems to be something wrong here.
i posted some negative stuff to keep it even but you are right2 of the fumbles attributed to Cuz are, at least imo, on Perine. One was a perfectly fine pitch from Cuz that Perine just butchered all to hell. On the other Perine had his hands way too close together to take what was a SOP hand-off from Cuz.
