Kirko Chainz and other observations of NFL Sunday

[MAD GAINZ]

There are some speculation that Cousins isn't fully healed up.

If he wasn't fully healed up, the team wouldn't have him out there.  However, Achilles injuries are more about getting past the mental hurdle that it IS healed and you can push off it, cut, etc.  Based on limited video above, it looks like Kirk doesn't fully trust planting that foot yet.

I almost posted this same thing. And Kirko is 36 years old, it hits different instead of when you are 26 mentally. 

The team got lucky with McCarthy as it was only meniscus and it wasn't a traumatic event getting hauled off the field.

Lots of calling for Penix already on the Falcons blogs.

And tonight we'll watch another older vet coming off achilles.

This is what would have happened if Darnold shit the bed. Now that's not a concern with JJM's injury.

That's what I was wondering but it was stupid to put him out there if that's the case

Part of this is on the Falcons putting Kirk in Pistol and Shotgun.

I guess the Falcons think they are protecting him by doing this?
But TWO of Kirk's strengths are play-action, and designed plays rolling out / moving the pocket.

They've basically made Cousins EVEN LESS mobile....(if that's even possible)

YOU LIKE THAT?
