Charity Stripe  October 13, 2020
"Kirk Charity-Stripe Cousins".  Somehow Kirk Cousins cannot see the obvious, where historically, he's not alone.  Much like Joe Willie Namath, he had to be told not to destroy the game.  The Jets defense was so tough (Buddy Ryan) & so well played, that all that was required from Namath was not to screw up.  When he adhered to these basic elements ... the Jets could win.    

Why "Charity Stripe"?  Well, much like Tiki Barber or Adrian Peterson they had a problem ... that is until they both understood this concept ... "High & Tight" ... leaving their lazy minds in the past.  Both of these running backs had developed a history of coughing up the ball to the detriment of the squad.  Kirk Cousins first safety, he was oblivious to the backside run support, which resulted in a 9 point swing, after an incredible goal line stand by our defense.  Last Sunday versus the Seahawks, old Kirk put Wilson on the Charity stripe by giving up a strip sack placing the ball on our 15, followed by an incredible pick resulting in a second touchdown in about a minute.  Now add in that failed 2 point conversion and we are talking about 16 points, where any one of them would not allow the Sea-Holes to win the game.     

Have you ever wondered why drivers are penalized for being in an accident that was not their fault?  To be direct, determining who was at fault is irrelevant due to one important key question.  Did you need to be there at that very moment as things always happen for a reason?  Since Kirk Cousins signed with this franchise, how many times have you seen a Kirk Cousins result ... Batted Ball.  Now think back to Sir Francis or even Wilson last night on his touchdown throw while having a defensive lineman bare down on him.  The defensive lineman did not have his hands up, although he did not leave his feet (get airborne - good), but Wilson had moved sufficiently to have a clear passing lane.  So let me ask the question, when is it ok to just sit & throw, or is the passing game much like defending in basketball by moving your feet.  Again, Fran Tarkenton moved to allow him to throw the ball down the field.      

In fact, under Norm Van Brocklin, Tarkenton was pressed as to why he didn't set up in the pocket to throw the ball down the field.  Sir Francis responded by saying, "What pocket?"  Who was it that said, "as a pass blocking line ... you better just run the ball".  Oh yeah ... that was me.  Today, your offensive line ... like yourself ...  is immature in regard to its cohesiveness.  If you cannot rely upon your offensive line to achieve what you need to be successful then you need to compensate.  Hall of Famers ... Tarkenton, Montana & Young ... tell us that your success lies between your knees & your feet.  "Charity-Stripe needs to be told that his game is both immature & lazy where he's earned that "Charity Stripe" label until he's earned the distinction of "High & Tight".  Your games is a loose as a nasty "refit-hooker" being chased by a horny three pecker Billy goat.  Tighten up your game you dumb-ass rookie.  Problem is ... he's has no idea what I'm talking about & my fear is that they are coddling him rather than kicking his proverbial nuts for burning out yet another car battery.  Stupid ... Stupid ... Stupid.  

"Charity Stripe" describes one & only one thing ... a very lazy mind ... which cannot be allowed on that field. So how do I feel about Kirk Cousins ... you know "Charity Stripe"?   Well he will always be my guy through both thick & thin.  He's a more than capable athlete that can win any game, at any time, & his play can be infectious ... which can ignite the world.  He just can't see the problem.  He refers to his number of years in this league as if it actually means something, and then we accept it, because we don't know any better.  In his mind, "Charity-Stripe" refers to his number of starts & he then thinks out loud, "Well, I must have learned something in all those years ... as if there's some sort of correlation with just time.  What he doesn't understand is his engrained immaturity brought on by things that have little or no real value.  It's not about making a mistake, it's about the fluidity of motion to leverage  ... the advantage.      

Allow me to shine a little light on this dogs ass.  Today's record is irrelevant.  You might remember Joe Montana or Steve Young.  They used a direct quote that went something like this.  They could tell you exactly how well they played by watching film from their knees to their feet.  In other words, "Charity Stripe", what you think about running looks allot like the result of your failed 2 point conversion, or the failure of picking up that 4th in 1 by not quarterback sweeping to the left with a lead blocker out front.  Do you have any idea how many touchdowns Sir Francis Tarkenton scored using the quarterback sweep?  Now compare your deer-in-the-headlights pocket debacle, versus Wilson below the knee game, & you begin to see something that is completely unequivocal.  A first year basket ball coach would say it in a heart beat, "Move Your G-Damn feet".  Put another way, a good angle can take away any straight ahead runner whereas a runner cutting it back into the field of play is an absolute nightmare.  Just take a peak at Jefferson's first touchdown catch.  Well it's the same for any defensive rusher that is counting on your loose & immature approach to the game.          

Now let me be direct.  No one is instructing you to run vertically down the field unless it is wide open to you.  Almost every time Tarkenton moved, it was to avoid contact, where he would find that patch of real estate to plant his feet & throw it down field.  No one is asking you to be Tarkenton, not even Fran, instead what he's asking of you is to develop the maturity in your game.  Since I can't put my head through that wall, instead I'm going to move around that obstacle.  When they asked Patton how he intended to take the Metz he said, "Fortresses where build by the stupidity of man".  In other words, old George understood that I'm not going to attack your strengths but rather bypass them & exploit your weaknesses.  Every time "Charity-Stripe" got himself blown up this year, it was due to his immaturity ... the immaturity of your game.  Tennis may have shown you movement skills ... playing alone ...  but that is as far stretch from that required for a team sport as you can get there is.   

There isn't a man on the planet that could understand Head Coach Mike Zimmer's pain in once again losing to the ARROGANT Sea-Holes.  What did the immortal Dennis Green utter, "We had em ... and we let em off the hook!"  Yes, old Denny was a genius, so we are going to try once again help out our coach.  When your playing the "Sea Holes", you get lost in the mire of that emblem.  You think that you're just playing another bird team like the Falcons or the Cardinals ... but you're not.  Their emblem comes right off a native American totem pole which means that it depicts a bird however what you are playing against is tantamount to playing your game on an Indian burial ground.  Is it any wonder that our outcomes have been nothing short of disasters.  What is required is an opened shot glass of unconsumed whiskey any time you face the "Sea-Holes".  Put it behind your bench with the strict instructions that no one is to touch it & no one is to drink it.  If there is a problem, allow them to remove it.  For some reason, with this offering of whiskey, these Native American spirits will find favor for those that present such an offering as it is a sign of respect to their descendants.      

Did Patton actually utter the words, "I'd crawl on my belly to get another command?"  Sounds allot like our field commander Mike Zimmer where he just might purchase & leave the whole opened bottle behind to remove any mishaps.  All that is required is a fair & level playing field.     

Before going for that 4th & 1, my only thought was to go for it however it was clear to me that the "Sea-holes" would attack "The Biscuit" on our right side, which they did.  We ran right into our weakness.  That took an incredible amount of guts but before it happened my only thought was with a field goal conversion, Wilson would have to achieve 2 plays of perfection.  A touchdown & 1 play for the 2 point conversion.  In any regard, we'd probably miss the field goal attempt, probably by foul again, & Wilson would have converted both.    

Was I alone out there, or did you witness numerous head shots, throughout the NFL, that went well beyond Harrison Smith hit which he ultimately initiated with his shoulder & the back of his pads.  In other words, there is absolutely no consistency from New York, where even the helmet shot on Irv Jr was much more severe & should have resulted in an ejection by the Harrison standard.  By my count yesterday, the "Sea-Holes" initiated 5 helmet to helmet shots where they were flagged only once.     

Now combine this with the Diggs touchdown, taking away 7 critical points for offensive pass interference playing the Packers, where there wasn't even a flag thrown on the field, & it's clear that New York has an unhealthy bias for this particular franchise.  For what other franchise do these standards apply where one might say, "New York ... tell you what, how about allowing us to stay home & save the trip, where you can tell us the outcome of the contest from your rulings?"        

Did anyone see the call & film for O'Niel's timely offensive holding call.  Am I alone in thinking ... does this only apply when it is most crucial for this franchise & only apply to us?   Don't see where I'm going with this?  How many penalties where called on the "Sea-Holes"?  

Tell me ... do you really think for one moment that that was a level playing field or was that result forged & cast before that clock ticked for even one second?

By the way, its not, "We are so close", but it is rather there isn't a team on the planet that will want to see this team at season end in the playoffs, and that includes a bunch of Arrogant "Sea-Holes".  They would like nothing more than to see us in their rear view mirror but the leaves are falling.  I love absolutely love this team.
