Kirk Cousins Week 7 2023 Analysis

[@ThatsNotVeryFunnyLol]

I'm a Packers fan but I must admit that was an absolute masterclass and clinic by Kirk Cousins & Kevin O'C last night. Their 3rd down playcalling and conversion success rate were both insane, especially against the 49ers. They also completely neutralized the 49ers offense, albeit without Deebo, regardless!

[@austinnaylor4007]

Vikings fans know how incredibly tough Kirk has been throughout the years. Offensive line has not been good, and the man has taken a lot of hits, but delivers and gets back up. This year you're finally seeing Kirk behind a damn good line, and the numbers speak for themselves. Let's see if they can continue to turn the season around. SkoL!

[@stubert94]

I have trash talked Cuzo. But the man is a goddamn Ironman. He's missed like 1 or 2 games since he's been on the Vikings only because of covid.

That last play the broadcast showed KOC telling the ref before the play to watch Addison bc he knew on that route it was good chance for the DB to hold. So yeah I think it was a called concept lol

[@Jaredtkk]

He told the ref to watch because the dude was holding every play 😂

[@coletrickle1775]

The best thing about the Addison pick, was it set up the revenge play where he snatches the ball from 7 the 2nd time, and goes for the TD.

[@SamGuydon152]

Kirk Cousins is a top-10 QB - he doesn't have the elite physical tools of Justin Herbert so casuals don't give him the credit he deserves. Plays the position the right way, tough, smart, and he' a great guy to boot. Always rooting for the guy.

[@spades7632]

"plays the position the right way" "tough" "smart" hmmmmmmmm

[@ericj3331]

Am pretty sure alot of casuals have warmed up to cousins he's playing much better then when he started with the vikings, he's basically peaking this year

[@jollygrapefruit786]

The pocket in general just looked otherworldly. Zero sacks! Been dying to see them show up.

[@augustbortz6104]

Bringing back to the Matt Birk/mike tice days. Love it. That guy was one of the best centers the Vikings have had glad he was able to win one with the ravens.

[@JaredHettler]

Kirk Cousins is a frontrunning MVP candidate right now. 2nd in yards, 1st in TDs. Led the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks last year. Broke the NFL record for largest comeback win ever. Led the NFC in yards last year. More 4000 yard and 25+ touchdown seasons than anyone active in the NFL right now. And, the Vikings have a weak remainder of schedule. This team is about to surprise a lot of people.

[@WackoMac]

4th and 8

[@JaredHettler]

​@@WackoMac was it his fault they lost that game or the fact that their defense allowed Daniel freaking Jones to look like Joe Montana

[@LuvTerrance]

Man I really love everything about this channel, but something that gets me hyped everytime is seeing Qbs throwing with anticipation and it being acknowledged. Most commentators/sports show host have no idea what that concept even is 😂😂 Love the content JT

[@TheQBSchool]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ryanschultz4119]

Maybe when Kirk 1st came to Minnesota, he was overpaid, and under performed... But last season, and so far this season, Cousins has played at a very high level. Didn't have 1 of his better statistical season's last year. But made key plays in crunch time to win games. Including leading the biggest comeback of all-time. And anyone who has actually watched the Vikings this season... Knows Kirk hasn't been the problem. The guy leads the NFL in passing TDs, 2nd in passing yards, and 3rd in passer rating. If you think Minnesota is going to get better QB play from 1 of the 2024 college prospects..? You're dreaming! Despite playing a brutal opening schedule. Minnesota has been beating themselves with turnovers against Philly, KC, & the Chargers. At 3-4 with the hard part of their schedule behind them. Minnesota has an opportunity to salvage their season. But they have to take it a game at a time. And hopefully Jefferson can return soon!

[@NoneOrOther]

24:20 JT successfully predicts a massive TD almost exactly a year later, but it's Sam Darnold to Justin Jefferson for 97 yards. Crazy.

[@jasoncousar9391]

In this modern era of football with mobile qbs, this is what it takes too to be a pocket qb and play at a elite level. For me personally this was the most impressive performance from a qb ive seen all season. Run game was shit, it was kirk cousins or lose the game and he delivered. Idk where Kirk goes next season but i hope they put him in a good situation. 10/10

[@z_Moose]

If he plays like this, they’re going to re-sign him.

[@jschang29]

Great break down as always. This to me was one of if not the best game I've ever seen from Kirk. The anticipation throws and trusting his guys no matter what number was on their back was what I was most impressed by. Vikings receiving core goes deep. One of the best games called by their coach as well.

Jordan Addison looks like a guy that could have been an Olympic gymnast, but instead he's just an amazing athlete with acrobatic control of his body. He's got devilish intelligence, too, and an evil sense of humor. I have no doubt he was looking for an opportunity to get revenge on Ward. He got it. Addison is gonna be a huge star.

Great video. People get so enamored with Herbert’s arm or Hurts’ running or whatever. Kirk Cousins has none of that, although he’s got plenty of arm. But the guy just knows how to play the position. If you actually watched this video to the end and didn’t at least come away believing he knows what he’s doing, then you’re just a hater. Forget top 5, top 10, or anything else. Kirk can ball.

Then the very next play it is the SAME THING AGAIN, only difference is the Center is busy and can't help cuz he's getting beaten. Risner (the lg) will stop checking on Darrisaw so much and stay focused on helping Bradbury.

[@benpeterson7530]

@@low-daddy I've thought this too. I am not sure that is exclusive to the Vikings though. I think most teams do this to an extent. It's driven by how the game itself is set up. If you get a lead against a "bad" team, you start running the ball as a strategy to end the game sooner, giving the "bad" team less time. The "bad" team is going to try to move quickly. If they get big chunk plays and get into the end zone, they can catch up sometimes. The bad team is also willing to take risks since they are coming from behind.

Kirk is a good QB. I want people to stop making the excuses about the offensive line. Kirk has shown he can avoid a top level team rush and he can get rid of the ball quick. He has to play like this every game now mo excuses........... lets not act like his record on primetime was only his teammates fault.

[@removedot]

the record is mostly due to the quality of the teams he has played in primetime. Pretty much only time Vikings and Washington get primetime is if its a really good team or division games in a division that plays each other hard, usually away. look at the records of the teams he has played in primetime. They are either like 10+ win teams or the bears
