Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins knows he hasn’t been good, and he gets that his teammates are annoyed about that.
On Grant & Danny on 106.7 The Fan in D.C., Cousins didn’t exactly deny the report, stating that he just needed to get better.
“It’s understandable,” Cousins said via Ben Standig of Breaking Burgundy. “All I know to do as a leader, as a football player having been in this position before, having faced adversity before is you regroup. You don’t put your tail between your legs. You don’t get scared. You don’t go cry in a corner. You feel like you got put up against a wall and you come out swinging.
“We have to get this done. We have to play better. I have to play better. You take ownership, you step to the forefront and you lead and you challenge guys and you say what you need to do better. I think together, we can do that. That’s what I’m going to do. That’s what I’ve done my whole life, my whole life as a football player. This no different. This not new territory for me. I’ve faced challenges before, adversity before on the football field. We’re going to find a way to move forward and play better. We’re going to do it together.”
It was reported that some in the locker room were losing faith in Cousins after he missed several throws in the team’s loss to Dallas. The team isn’t considering a quarterback change or anything of the sort, but things will need to improve quickly.
