No excuses; it’s Kirk Cousins team now.
In the dictionary of NFL Football, ‘field general’ defines the position of quarterback. He’s the guy in charge, the leader, the one who sets the tone, not just on offense, but for the entire team. For the Washington Redskins, who that field general is, is no longer the question – It’s Kirk Cousins.
OTA’s will be the second look team officials, and fans on some level, will get of Cousins. In many ways, their first look with him as the undisputed number #1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins.
With the long awaited, and long time coming exit of RGIII, no longer will the Redskins have the long shadow of the former QB and his enabler Daniel Snyder doing the hard work of creating division on this team.
This team is Kirk Cousins’, and whatever history is written moving forward is his and his alone.
Most curious about this first look at him, is where he is with his wide receivers, and taking command of the offense. While he may have been the starter last season, it’s different now.
And everyone watching knows that.

With only 25 starts to serve as his field of NFL experience, what most will look to is how he seizes the opportunity that seemed at best remote when he was drafted along with RGIII.
Best to remember of where we are with Cousins?
He’s 27 years old WITH only 25 starts.
The potential for growth from a guy who’s already demonstrated the ability to play well and win games bodes well for him and the Redskins.
Yeah, I know; it’s OTA’s. No pads, no defensive rush, no tight coverage to throw to.
It’s May, and the view will be different 4 months from now. But with spring, comes remarkable promise and hope. Both we should embrace with a long hot summer ahead.
For Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins, this road they find themselves on is much more smooth and optimistic than the one 12 months ago.
That said, it is his team now.
No more excuses need apply.
