Wonder if this will be enough to "piss off" Kirk...

Zach Brown says ex-Redskins teammate Kirk Cousins 'weakest part' of Vikings attack

P.S. I think it's a bullshit "excuse" that a professional making nearly $30 million annually needs external motivation or perceived slights to perform well, but, that's just me.

I'll say this: this should be bulletin board material for the Vikings. And for Cousins. If his teammates don't have his back over this and he can't get fired up to jam it up Brown's ass, then Brown is right. 

I'm glad he said this. Let's see how the Vikings respond. Not sure how you can get called out more by an opponent than this. Because the Vikings are going to have to pass in this game to win. We'll find out what kind of mettle the team has. I mean, honestly....hey Kirk....you're getting the $84 million regardless. Why not go balls to the wall and let it rip? Do you have that in you? Zimmer got the Bears fired up with some talk, so use this as some kind of fuel.

Not sure how saying that has any value either.  He sure isn't showing he was the smartest guy on the field either.

I'm not a big fan of smack talk, either, except when it's directed at an arrogant, loudmouth fool (i.e. Ray Lewis, Terrell Owens, etc.) AND you can back it up. 

The Eagles secondary is terrible, if the Vikings can execute screens and the short passing game, I could see them winning, maybe 27 - 21 or thereabouts. They are at home after all, and it's at noon, not primetime, so they've got that going for them. 

But this is the Vikings......literally nothing that they do or don't do shocks me anymore.

Wow...I picked up Cousins this week to cover for a bye next week, but I might just play him this week...I already liked the match up. I like it even more now.

Or this may piss him off and he ends up doing too much  B)
FYI: This is coming from someone who does not trust Cousins. For the record I want him to be very good for us.

To close this out, after the game Kirk said he didn't know about the comments until a reporter brought it up to him after the game was over. He didn't read anything and no one mentioned it to him.
ETA - I hope you played him this week @MaroonBells

He was the one talking shit. He can dish it out but he can't take it.
