Underappreciated Aspect To Kirk Ignatius Cousins

Kirk Cousins (ribs) listed as "limited" in practice on Wednesday's injury report.

The #Vikings QB grimacing a little while throwing in open portion to media today.

Cousins has been such a durable player. Something to monitor before the Rams game on Sunday. @Fox9Sports pic.twitter.com/q7nzxe5EU2

No worries....

He took some nasty hits vs Bears. 

Vikings need a C and OG badly...Good thing they only have Aaron Donald coming-up this week. 

Rams night have just shot their wad vs the Seahawks. Short week. I like our chances...to blow a lead late and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

He got pretty beat up against the Bears though. His durability in the midst of the shit show OL has been impressive.

The I in Ignatius stands for injection.

let us say Kirk cant go, or has to be taken out early in the game. 

If you have nothing to lose, wouldnt we go with Mond over Mannion.  Mannion gives a negative chance of winning. I would be intrigued with Mond’s ability to make plays - extend plays with his legs

Oh, he'll take a shot for that...

Year 37 in the Rick Spielman roster construction and we are still looking for OL help

The whole "Mannion gives a negative chance of winning" had me actually laughing out loud. If Kirk can't go, then play Mond. This is why you drafted him in the 3rd round so play him and see how he looks as perhaps that helps with deciding if we need to draft another QB in day 2 this year.

  Mond isn't gonna be the 2nd coming of Russel Wilson.

ok

maybe. maybe not.  only one way to find out. 

beats playing Mannion

Well having Mannion play would be like having someone from my mother’s Icelandic women’s club pay QB.  Actually that is something I would pay to see. Just to see an old lady crouched over center calling an audible in that accent? Priceless. 
I remember seeing one sack where I said OMG that looked like that really hurt the ribs.

Unfortunately Zimmer was asked this in the past day or 2, I think Cronin tweeted it, and he said Mannion would start over Mond/FA.

You forget we're dealing with Mike "rookies are the devil" Zimmer here.

QB Kirk Cousins had a MRI that revealed a cracked rib, according to

@BenGoessling. He practiced in full today and is expected to be good to go for Sundays game against the #Rams.

This guy never gets credit for his toughness. And as much as everyone piled on him about not being vaccinated, what about Cook?
