Handing out labels following Skins games. Today, a 31-28 win over Baltimore.
Winners
Kirk Cousins — Came in under dire circumstances and responded beautifully, going 2-2 for 26 and a game-tying TD plus two-pointer. Nice draft pick, Big Shanny!
Li’l Shanny — 31 more points with a good balance of run and pass, and he gets credit for closing it out with Cousins. Bonus stat: They gained 186 yards in the first quarter, more than any NFL team in any game this season (via CBS).
Richard Crawford — Replaced Brandon Banks on punt returns and averaged 33 per, including a 64-yarder in OT that was the de facto game-winner. This should be a Wally Pipp-type situation.
Pierre Garcon – 87 yards and a TD. The guy is electric, though he did drop what would’ve been a big first down.
Rob Jackson – Beat Michael Oher for a strip and recovery when they really needed it.
Kai Forbath — Good from 48, good from 49 and good in overtime. Needs to work on those kickoffs, though.

Robert Griffin III is the most dynamic player in football, hands down. With incredible arm strength, sound decision-making skills, the speed of a track star and moves of a running back, Griffin is truly one of a kind. But for every phenom, there’s a copycat waiting to replicate that style. They just aren’t usually found on the same team.
