Kirk Cousins will start for Redskins; RGIII to be inactive

[Grassy Knoll]

Robert Griffin III not only is being sidelined, he will be inactive Sunday when the Washington Redskins take on the Atlanta Falcons.

NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Wednesday that Redskins players have been told Kirk Cousins will start and Rex Grossman will be the backup, according to a team source.

Earlier Wednesday, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the game plan for Sunday indicated that the Redskins appeared to be moving forward with Cousins at quarterback, according to two people who have seen the plan.

1. Why am I the first to comment on this?

I figured everyone would be all over this!

So, declaring him inactive is better than being back-up? Anyway, might as well, and if for some reason they do well with Cousins, then wonder what that means for the fundy's future?

4. I spent most of the afternoon busting on my Washington NFL football team friends.

So I was not able to post about this on DU. Who is the fundy? I know Snyder is a douchebag, but is actually thinking about bring in St. Tebow to rescue the Washington NFL team?? Heh! I'll have to mention that to them tomorrow!!

9. RGIII is a fundy...pretty much as bad as Tebow, but he doesn't kneel after TD's...

Which, considering how Washington is doing, there isn't much opportunity for that!

13. A Cowboys fan has no right whatsoever busting on anyone

No right at all.

14. When the said team has an owner who is a Jerrah Jones wannabe, then it does

give me the right to bust on the Washington NFL Team.

2. I suspect there's more to this story than what is being told

Did RGIII mouth-off to Shanahan? Is Snyder making a play to draft higher?

Griffin should start if only to get more reps.

15. Didn't their 1st round pick get sent to St Louis to get RGIII?

I think this is a case of Shanahan trying to get fired so he doesn't have to quit and give up 7 million dollars.

3. So glad I dropped football and the Skins.

The owner should be banned from sports. He actually sued an old woman on Social Security.

5. Really?? I think Danny boy has been the best thing for the NFL and the Washington NFL

franchise!! Spoken by a Dallas Cowboys fan!!

[Kingofalldems]

6. You mean the team whose owner prances around the locker room nude?

[madinmaryland]

7. You do understand that Jerrah owns three of these...

[Kingofalldems]

8. Dude I dropped football years ago. But I do find the locker room antics

of Jones funny. I also root for his team (in my own way) to beat the Skins when they play.

10. Why does that remind me of this? >>

18 years and counting!

11. You have to feel sorry for poor Danny Boy considering

he is the adopted love child from Al Davis and Marge Schott.

[madinmaryland]

16. I don't recall Al Davis being a racist.

12. Yes, but RGIII will be the backup.

Rex Grossman III, that is.
