Mitchell Schwartz threw a whole lot of shade on Viking Kirk Cousins’ 3-and-out performance in Friday’s preseason game.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has a bad relationship with reading the situations. Sometimes he delivers. Sometimes, he absolutely, positively does not. Friday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs is showing more of the same again, and some folks are not holding back.
That includes some former Chiefs players.
Former Kansas City All-Pro right tackle Mitchell Schwartz unloaded on Cousins after his checkdown on third-and-15.
Mitchell Schwartz didn’t hold back on Kirk Cousins’ performance, saying he’s already in midseason form
Schwartz, who played for the Chiefs from 2016-20, took to Twitter to take note that Cousins is already at peak performance, being unable to convert on the third down.
Kirk in mid-season form too with the 6 yard completion on 3rd and 15

You have to wonder what happens if Kirk Cousins sees this tweet. It’s not the first time he’s been burned, since his own head coach threw him under the bus for not being vaccinated along with gaining a new superhero nickname (spoiler: it’s not a good hero name considering his performance).
Cousins is really catching strays left and right. You have to wonder how it’ll affect his performance in the regular season if they’re already getting ready for the jokes in preseason. The frustration will only grow from here, but let’s hope the Vikings adjust accordingly.
Well… as much as they can at least.
