I have reservations about Cousins. He is steady, but not spectacular. Think you always know what you are going to get from him and the best QB's out there are always capable of doing something out of the ordinary.I know there are a handful of avid followers on here, this isnt another "who watches NFL in the UK" thread, we have enough of those and no doubt when the Wembley games kick off again and they are shown on BBC later in the year there will be another.
Here is a place to discuss the upcoming season, schedules released last week and draft kicking off on Thursaday, Football Season is fast approaching!
As a relatively new Redskins fan, having only picked up on the sport 2/3 years ago, I go into this coming draft with a sense of optimism that Ive not had before, coming off the back of a relatively successful and Griffin-free season culminating in a wildcard defeat I have great optimism that we can build on the upturn we saw last season and top the 9-7 season.
Ive not been around the sport long enough to get excited by a free agent signing yet, but in Josh norman I have that excitement. I think we have some big players that can turn in a big year in Jordan Reed, Matt Jones, deSean Jackson, Kerrigan and of course a lot relies on Kirk.
I see Patriots being strong as usual and the Jets to improve again, Jags seem to be doing the right things roster-wise and its about time the colts turned in a strong season.
Views on your team and the league as a whole?

Matt Jones I have high hopes for after his rookie year and after the Gronk, I think Jordan Reed is the best tight end there is.
It was the secondary that let the Redskins down badly. Think we need a more potent pass rush and that will in turn then aid the secondary.
Alfred Morris had a quieter year last season, so hoping he will be back to his best.
Haven't seen the schedules yet for next season, so don't know how difficult their fixtures look.
You have to be wary of the NY Giants next year and Dallas too if they can get their act together.
Be happy if the Redskins can win the division again.
Has he?Morris has moved to the Cowboys so there is bigg pressure but also big opportunity for Matt Jones, I think morris' legs were on the way out at points last season, he certainly wasnt as impactful as he has been.
I am excited to see Norman vs OBJ twice next season, those two really dislike each other and have a score to settle.
Cowboys as we saw last year are so overly dependant on Romo, will he play 10+ games, im not so sure. Sam Bradford has today asked to trade away from the Eagles, I think they will really struggle this year, NYG are the big threat and I see the division being between Skins and Eagles. In OBJ and Victor Cruz Eli has a couple of huge weapons, I expect the majority of there games to be high scoring as they never seem to have a consistent defense.
Not watched for years. Don't have Sky so probably won't be watching this year either!
Was reading about the chap who got suspended and fined for deflating the ball. Said that he had renegotiated his contract since being fined so that the period where he is being fined his wages his salary goes right down and then he gets the extra back further down the line. What a joke!
Oh, what do I know!! Both Thomas and Young are free agents.
Need to have a good look at this year's roster.
Crowder looked very promising last year.And now we take a WR 1st round in the draft, Cousins is going to have a lot of weapons Reed, Jackson, Garcon, Doctson, Crowder looks like they are going out to entertain.
Need to strengthen the defence next.

It looks like a giant greenhouse! A very nice greenhouse though.anyone see vikings indoor stadium sweet jesus its nice, cant wait see rams stadium finished make wasps one look like a sunday league ground ha!
Excellent place to holiday I have been three times, make sure you do the Boeing tour.
Can't wait, we are only there for a couple of days as part of a 3 week whistle-stop tour of the west coast but will be cramming as much in as possible!
I haven't watched any yet, I don't think any have been shown on sky, just the odd highlights/talking points on social media.
We have our fantasy draft on Friday evening, I have no idea where to start!
I have watched a couple of preseason games on game pass, in condensed mode. They can be abit of a waste of time games to be honest starters only really play the 1st quarter. But it's good to see late round/under drafted players getting a chance to get on the roster.
Also hard knocks has just started which is good.
I've been reading about a program on Netflix, "Last Chance U", has been touted as one of the best sporting documentaries ever made!For anyone with Amazon Prime (or other less legal sources), All or Nothing is worth a watch. Follows the Cardinals through last season.
Cousins went from zero to hero in a week.Anyone going to Wembley this weekend? I have a 3 match ST thing, this is the game I'm not too bothered about, will be sat in my Redskins jersey but backing the Jags as I don't have much time for Luck/Colts.
Early season thoughts, Carolina/Cam were found out this weekend, Denvers defence seems to have picked up where it left off last year, Patriots could have a fresh Brady and Gronk starting their season at 4-0.
As for my Redskins, following a comprehensive defeat at the hands of the Steelers in which J Norman allowed Antonio Brown and Ben R to pick on Breeland, 2 divisional games that could have gone either way I will take a 1-2 start which should become 2-2 on Sunday with a home game v Browns.
Bit of a concern about Wilson suffering with the ankle and MCL, if he plays at the Jets hopefully he's protected enough so the next week's bye allows him to get back to 100%. Christine Michael finally arriving last week made Rawls' absence a little easier and CJ Spiller has been signed in the week to bolster the active backs. The Rams defeat was a turgid load of shit that I ridiculously paid £7 to watch on a Sky Sports pass, luckily I paid nowt for the Gamepass trial to see the 49ers get a beating. No TDs allowed yet.
