Redskins vs. Bears game review (offense) | WashingtonExaminer.com
It’s probably just easier to say that quarterback Kirk Cousins gets the ball off a little faster than Robert Griffin III right now and let it go at that. But I’ve got a stopwatch and I’m going to use it, so…. Of the 13 times Griffin dropped back, he held the ball for at least 3.2 seconds seven times. Two of those were boots and another time came on the third and five run in which he picked up the first down. But, of Cousins’ 23 drop backs he held the ball for 3.2 seconds or longer only three times – and one came on the bootleg pass to Niles Paul for a touchdown.
Redskins Game 2: Ten observations | WashingtonExaminer.com
The receiver battle is officially interesting. As had been pointed out in several places, Dezmon Briscoe started to show up more during practice over the past week or so. Against the Bears he used his size well, getting inside position. There was one time in which he didn’t compete as hard for the ball as you’d like, but there was a (questionable) pass interference penalty called that negated the incompletion. So it didn’t matter. And that size was a big factor on other routes. Ironically on the touchdown it wasn’t about his size, it was his hands. Made a nice grab of a lower throw.

Need to Know: Why isn't RG3 passing more? - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
I had a marathon chat on Twitter yesterday and one question that came up a few times was about the number of passes that Robert Griffin III has thrown. Specifically, fans want to know why he hasn’t thrown more. In two games, Griffin is a combined 10 for 14 passing. Last night alone, Andrew Luck attempted 25 passes last night against the Steelers and has 41 attempts in two games. Kirk Cousins has thrown 45 passes in two games, more than triple the starter’s pass attempts.

Kirk Cousins– Put some numbers on the board in the second half. Bears broadcaster Jim Miller even mentioned something about a QB controversy, but I assume he was drunk. Whatever, trade value! Aldrick Robinson — Nice showing for the second-year receiver. Dezmon Briscoe – Hey, he caught six TD for Tampa Bay last year. Brandon Banks — Took a 91-yard punt return to the house, making this the third straight preseason he’s done that, I think. Also, didn’t see any time at WR, I don’t think. Terrence Austin — Made a key block on Banks’ TD return and then saved a TD on the ensuing kickoff.
