Numbers say Kirk Cousins authentic jerseys for cheap

So rather than connecting with Jamison Crowder against an all-out blitz for a likely touchdown, Cousins threw a high pass that was intercepted. As coach Jay Gruden said Monday, it was similar to an interception he threw against Arizona last season.

"It was the same exact route and the same exact outcome," youth football jerseys cheap
 Gruden said. "When you have a free hitter in your face, you have got to do a good job of drifting and trying to make a good throw. The ball just got away from him."

It's not as if Cousins always falters in these situations. Sunday, he delivered a ball under duress to running back Chris Thompson, who then turned it into a 26-yard catch and run for a touchdown earlier in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. On a bootleg, he had safety Malcolm Jenkins in his face and righted himself to make a good throw. He also stepped up and pivoted to avoid another free rusher, then completed a pass.

Here's how he compares to other quarterbacks in the NFL when throwing under duress the previous two seasons. (The definition: if a quarterback must slide to avoid pressure, or alter his throw or if the defender has a clear line on him).

Completion percentage: Among quarterbacks with at least 20 starts since 2015, team jerseys cheap Cousins ranks 20th in completion percentage (45.3) when under duress. He's one spot behind Aaron Rodgers. And Cousins' percentage ranks ahead of these quarterbacks: Philip Rivers, Derek Carr, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Marcus Mariota and Cam Newton.

But the result of those passes speaks to the difference. Cousins has thrown eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions when under duress. Rodgers? He's thrown 18 touchdowns to four interceptions. How about Brady, Marriota and Newton? cheap car rentals in new jersey A combined 33 touchdowns and 11 picks. So they might complete a lower percentage than Cousins, but they make teams pay more. And they don't turn it over.

Make them pay: That's one thing Cousins hasn't done and it's reflected in his touchdown totals. He's averaged 5.23 yards per attempt when under duress, 26th in the NFL -- one spot behind Joe Flacco and two behind Drew Brees. The top two quarterbacks in yards per attempt during this period: Jay Cutler and Tyrod Taylor. Ben Roethlisberger ranks fourth here, but has thrown six touchdowns to nine interceptions.

Blitz/duress: It's different when teams blitzed Cousins. Then, he averaged an NFL-best 8.86 yards per pass among quarterbacks with at least 20 starts. And he had a 96.9 passer rating. cheap chicago bears jerseys When blitzed and under duress? Cousins' numbers (four touchdowns, six interceptions, 53.6 passer rating) are comparable to Russell Wilson's (three touchdowns, four interceptions; 56.5 rating). you can buy the jerseys on http://www.lookcheapjerseys.com/ online web.

Sunday, the Eagles rushed seven against six blockers, so a linebacker was coming free up the middle as Thompson had to block another blitzer right beside him. That meant Cousins had to throw in a hurry. He threw off his back foot while drifting back. Typically, he throws over the top but on this play his arm appeared to drop a little lower. The combination of those factors caused the pass to go over the top of the 5-foot-8 Crowder.

Against Arizona last season, cheap apartments in south jersey Cousins slid to his right with a blitzing D.J. Swearinger bearing on him from the other side, and another rusher winning against right tackle Morgan Moses. The Cardinals rushed seven as well, facing six blockers.As Crowder broke inside -- he might have scored on this play, too -- Cousins couldn't get his hips around to throw back towards the middle. The pass was behind him and intercepted. Both were third-down plays. Cousins wasn't fooled by the pressure, he just didn't get the results he needed.

Instead of having one of the league's best all-around players to ease the pressure and responsibility on Palmer, he'll have the weight of the Cardinals' season -- and their playoff hopes -- resting squarely on the shoulders of his 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame. Poor games won't cut it anymore. bears jersey cheap Palmer needs to be better. He needs to be good.

Those were the expectations for this season. His aging right arm was treated like a star pitcher's on a five-day rotation. The Cardinals were careful with him. That'll continue this season. He doesn't throw on Wednesdays and barely throws on Fridays. A fresh Palmer was supposed to be a great Palmer, like the 2015 Palmer who had the best season of his long, esteemed career.


Then came a dip last year. saints jersey cheap That was supposed to be a blip, an anomaly. Then Sunday happened. Arians said Monday that Palmer put a "super" amount of pressure on himself and didn't shy away from blaming Palmer for losing the lead for the Cardinals. Two of Palmer's interceptions resulted in touchdowns, including one that was returned for a touchdown.

"Certain guys just put a certain amount of pressure on themselves and I think he felt like he had to go win this thing for everybody, and that's not the case," Arians said. "You've got teammates to do that for you."But this is the case: Palmer has to be good enough to get the ball to those teammates so they can make plays. cheap chinese nfl jerseys Even without Johnson, he has an arsenal in Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, J.J. Nelson, Jaron Brown, Britt Golden, Jermaine Gresham and Troy Niklas.

It's well known that Palmer has what it takes to lead a team to a winning season and a run in the playoffs. But after Sunday's game and after the news that Johnson will very likely be out for up to three months, the question has to be asked: Can Palmer lead this team to the playoffs this year?
