“some people might say there was a push off”

Cousins stands in the pocket, man. Huge play.

By my count, this was the third such back-foot prayer Cousins has thrown the last two weeks. I don't say "prayer" in a negative way. He's been told to not worry so much about picks and trust his receivers more and just go for it. He's clearly becoming more and more comfortable with this.

Yup, one on one for JJ, Kirk is right to trust his guy.

I can’t think of very many pairs of receivers in this league to trust more. We have 2 stars guys n’ gals.

JJ can keep wearing his Moss shirt, and Thielen should think about a Carter shirt. They can channel those 2 every Sunday.

Yep, that’s the thing. “DBs are DBs because they can’t catch” is one of those old sayings that has some truth to it. I’m sure some week he’ll throw a few picks and DBs will make great plays, but when you have AT and JJ you can afford to take risks because you have the horses (along with Dalvin) to get you back into the game even when you do turn it over.

If Kirk can mix in some gunslinger into his game he’d really be a force to be reckoned with. Yesterday was a far cry from the third down checkdown artist we’re used to. It was fun to watch.

So much this pattersaur! There will be aome ints. But that is part of the game these days. Overwhelmingly the game is skewed to the offensive side in the passing game. And with our receivers, statistically it is advantageous to throw the ball more often
