ASHBURN, Virginia -- When Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was mic’d up in 2015, he had an exchange with offensive coordinator Sean McVay on the sidelines after a touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson. It was part of a new, more aggressive approach by both McVay the playcaller and Cousins.
“Look at what putting our foot on the gas pedal the whole time has done,” Cousins said.
But McVay admitted he was still learning and Cousins acknowledged some of that stemmed from the fact he was new to the full-time job. Cousins was mic’d up again Sunday and showed that he’s still learning to balance going for the kill and protecting a lead.
