From a statistical standpoint, Kirk Cousins has been one of the NFL’s productive passers. Cousins currently has 1,498 passing yards, which ranks second in the league, trailing only Tua Tagovailoa. Kirk also leads the league with 14 passing touchdowns through the first five games.
Despite putting up excellent numbers, Kirk looks much less comfortable in his second year in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. Kirk often looks frazzled when trying to run a hurry-up offense, and his pocket presence has been more erratic despite the offensive line showing significant improvement from last season. Why is that?
I believe that Kirk Cousins isn’t the greatest fit for Kevin O’Connell’s offense, despite having familiarity with Kevin O’Connell from their time in Washington.
