The guy is throwing in the upper 60 percentile completion percentage. They win based on whether he throws INTs or not. They control TOP.
Their pass protection is giving him plenty of time, when I have watched them living in DC and they run a West Coast and are much more creative, while they have a guy like Gruden. It's embarrassing watching them, with that average coach, while we keep the nincampoop head coach that took credit for what was clearly not his work last year.
Callahan was huge for us.

But Cousins got hammered into the dirt many times today. One thing I noticed about the young guy is that he's smart and very aware. He would see a rusher pop free or a clean blitzer, and he would spin away and know exactly where to thrown the ball away. He took the hit and had his helmit knocked sideways, once needing a teammate's help to dig the mud out, but he knew where a totally different receiver was and just flung the ball to the ground in that direction, blindly but safely, to avoid the sack, even on 3rd down just to preserve the short yardage FG. The kid took a lot of punishment, but got rid of the ball.

Apparently Callahan was the secret sauce in the running game. Certainly not Garrett or Linehan. Too bad Callahan was such a terrible game caller.

Commanders ran extremely well the first half of the season, but slowed down. Sometimes as a result of when they get behind, or like I said, when Cousins throws INTs and gives the ball back. Either way Pass-blocking has been strong and they control TOP, similar to how we played last year. Like I also said, Cousins completion percentage is close to 70%.
It's hard to call about Callahan, considering Garrert kept interfering per Jerry's own words, resisting any change in the offense. If he was going to call plays, he should have been given total control.
Nobody asked him to be a HC..

I remember when we used to do that effectively (i.e., Emmitt)....

How many years has it been since we've done that in Dallas?

Callihan is overrated IMO. They have had a better QB, and better HB's then us most of the season and we are still more effective running the ball
After a couple solid games to start the season, the Skins rushing attack has one of if not the worst in the NFL

They've lost 8 starters and had more shuffling on their offensive line than ours. Kory Lichtensteiger, their starting Center has hen put on injured reserved for the regular season.
We've got all sorts of excuses for our injuries.

I lived there 30 yrs. I know that idiotic fan base well.
NOTHING is any better than walking out of their stadium after a Cowboys win. I was at the game where Aikman hit the Rocket with that 76 yd TD pass n over time. That was my most enjoyable game at Fedex. They were all feeling so cocky with that 21 pt lead in the 2nd half and . . . . . . . . . . . .

Someone sounds like a closet Skins fan.
They are at the top of the NFC East. Maybe they'll beat a team over .500 this year.

You forgot the part about Cousins, who is basically a back-up, throwing close to 70%, throwing over 10 yards a pass. Cassel threw under 60% and had 3 INTs, throwing under 10 yards a pass.
I'm sure part of that has to do with pass protection..
We had our starting OL... The Commanders OL was a mess this off-season and have injuries and don't have their starting OL and they are performing on par with the 'greatest OL in the NFL'...
