If our coaches are sane Cousins won't touch the field for the Ravens in the regular season.

Preseason is for evaluation of young players. Yeah they played like shit.. so what? History shows that preseason, and not just the final score isn't very telling of regular season success.

In one of the Patriots Super Bowl years they were being pummeled by the Bengals in preseason. Belicheck kept the first team D in almost the entire game and they continued to get their ass beat by the Bengals second and third teams.

It's easy to freak out now, but I'm not going to.

point taken - they haven't even had a scrimmage this year but they do look confused. You never know, they could still add a couple key pieces after 2nd game.

No freaking out yet; however, it would have been nice to see a better effort last night, after having to endure all the disappointing off-season results to date.

If they are sane he won't touch the practice field. Honestly every play I specifically watched him he was beaten, badly!

On every pressure situation his guy was the #1 or#2 reason why.

The guy is not a tackle, guard or even a football player.

Who's willing to help me help Oniel Cousins pack and get the hell out of town? LOL

**Irish Raven** · 08-12-2011, 11:03 AM

You pack, I'll order the cab to BWI

He's no tackle but I posted last month I thought he could be backup guard. Strong, physical and a run blocker so move him inside
But now, nobody has confidence in him even for that

I wonder as some say Harbaugh has a doghouse does the opposite also happen and he is too loyal to other players?
