Kirk Cousins, Maxx Crosby were held out of Saturday's practice for disciplinary reason. The two got into an altercation on Friday's practice after cousins confronted Crosby for being too physical. Kubiak on the scuffle. We have a very clear expectation of how we want practice and how we want it to go about our business. And we violated that yesterday. So we held those guys out. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. Ocho, are you...
The pastor.

**Chad Johnson** (0:42)
I would just, hey.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:43)
Do you know how, hey, Joe. You know how mad you have to make somebody.
We're talking about a child of God. Huh? We're talking about the Passion of Christ. The leader of all men in church. And Kirk Cousins angry?
You know how much you have to do? Kirk Cousins is the type, you can slap him, and he gonna turn the other cheek. That's the kind of quarterback he is. To make Kirk Cousins mad and y'all getting in a squabble, in practice, man, Maxx Crosby, I'm telling you, he had to hit him more than one time.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:17)
He had to. Oh, he did?

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:19)
I'm telling you, he had to.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:21)
Hey, hey. Now you be mad at your lineman. Cause why y'all let that man hit me?
Hey, he must be running by him real fast, tagging him or something.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:31)
Or in the way of the throw.
If you get through, most defense will end, Joe. They'll get through and they'll just duck under. To still allow you to make the throw.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:40)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:41)
He had to grab him or something, or just get in the way to frustrate him that much, to actually get in the fight.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:47)
Yeah.
Man, y'all, yeah, go ahead. According to ESPN, when Crosby hit Cousins twice, the 15-year veteran had had enough. Cousins got in Crosby's face, grabbed an All-Pros jersey, both exchanged words before it was broken up.

**Gilbert Arenas** (2:03)
Oh, that would have been dope.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:11)
We will call it protection. We stopped that. Cause you know what's gonna happen. Put a bit... I will start in short motion. We'll call it a pass. And he gon rush up the field, and I'm gonna hit him dead in the side of the camera hole. Are you gonna crack it?
If you hit Ja'Marr, if you hit Ja'Marr in practice, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's your teammate. Can you play quarterback?
Don't F up any position that you can't play.
That's what my college coach, Coach Davis, say. Son, can you play quarterback? Can you play running back? So why the hell you hit him?

**Gilbert Arenas** (2:53)
I understand. Listen, you don't want to take anything away from Maxx Crosby and what makes him him.
Obviously, he's an animal, Joe, at the defense end position. But you got to allow your office of players to work. You got to allow Kirk Cousins and that team.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:08)
Get the work out of them.

**Chad Johnson** (3:09)
Yeah. You ain't not done, Ocho.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:12)
Y'all know, y'all know.

**Chad Johnson** (3:13)
You ain't not done.

**Gilbert Arenas** (3:14)
No, no, not that Crosby hitting the quarterback. You definitely not. We know. We can see it on film. We know you're going to get there.
You've done it countless times when it actually counts. There's no need to show it in practice.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:24)
Man, y'all know Crosby want to be in Dallas, man.
No, you want him in Dallas. Come on, come on. Stop playing. Come on, y'all know Crosby want to be in Dallas. What are the two first round picks? Okay, give us a, hey, you're gonna have to give us a D lineman. We take Quinny Williams off y'all hands.

**Gilbert Arenas** (3:41)
Nah, hey, Crosby's a raider, man. He fits everything that has to do with being a raider.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:51)
Come on, Crosby's been around long enough not to mess with Kirk Cousins. Hey, listen, he trying to do whatever he can to get on up out of that. Man, y'all come to Dallas, Crosby.

**Gilbert Arenas** (4:00)
Hey, so you're saying he hit the quarterback on purpose just to get out of there?

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:03)
Yeah, he hit the quarterback on purpose. Yeah, he want him to be pissed out for him. Say, yeah, come on, get me out of here.
