The New York Giants were the benefactors of four Kirk Cousins interceptions in their 45-14 beating of the Washington Redskins on Thursday. They'd be lying if they said they didn't see them coming.
Per Michael David Smith of NBC's Pro Football Talk, "Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara said that the first player on the team to notice it was defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who during film study over the last few days began to see that Cousins had certain tells. Pierre-Paul passed that knowledge on to his teammates in the secondary."
“JPP even saw it, he told us that [Cousins] was staring down his receivers,” Amukamara stated, via Conor Orr of NJ.com.
Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden did nothing to dispute the Redskins' assessment of Cousins' game.
“He’s a young guy playing the position, and young guys playing that position at this level will tend to make mistakes from time to time,” Gruden stated. “We’ve got to make sure he’s sees his throws a little bit better and his eyes are in the right spot. There was a couple of them [interceptions] where he stared down the receiver, and the safety just came over made an easy pick.”
The Giants aren't complaining, however, and would be more than happy if Cousins never fixed things.
