LOVERRO: When will Jay Gruden find he can truly trust Kirk Cousins?

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

A reading from the book of “The Godfather,” the testament for a generation:

In “The Godfather II,” when talking to Michael Corleone about Hyman Roth, Frank Pentangeli tells him, “Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth … but he never trusted Hyman Roth.”

Jay Gruden does business with Kirk Cousins. He respects Kirk Cousins. But, he may not quite trust Kirk Cousins yet — at least not to win a game. The interception that gave the Atlanta Falcons a 25-19 overtime win on Sunday won’t do anything to build that trust.
