5 Takeaways: Oct. 7 Kirk Cousins Presser

1. In his fourth season in the NFL but first as a full-time starter, Cousins feels he’s come a long way especially in the last year.

After Robert Griffin III went down with an ankle injury in the second week of the 2014 season, Cousins was thrust into action.

There were some good days (Week 3 against Philadelphia when he threw for a career-high 427 yards) and some bad (four interceptions against the New York Giants).

One year later though, he feels more comfortable in the position of starting quarterback and team leader.
