"He’s got a little different skill set," Smith said of Cousins. "I think that we’ll see that the running game will be very similar. Coach Mike Shanahan and his staff’s running game has been very similar for many years and hasn’t changed a whole lot."

Kyle Shanahan hopes his body of work speaks louder than last name
"Everybody would like to get compliments and see what you’ve done. It’s not like I can just sit up here and pump myself up and tell you what my stats are," Shanahan said. "You guys can do that for yourselves if you want. But yeah, it would make it easier if everybody loved me. But that’s not the real world, and I get that, especially working for my dad.

Reed Doughty: ‘Nobody respects us on special teams’
"I can’t tell what other people’s feelings are," said Doughty, the Redskins’ special teams captain. "So I can’t tell if they feel like they don’t want to be on special teams. What I do know is that watching the film last week, I didn’t think it was an effort thing. I didn’t see people not caring. So it’s a matter of getting the job done. We’ve got three weeks to go and we’re not gonna make the playoffs. Nobody respects us on special teams. The only way to fix that is to go make some plays this week and take people holding their breath when we kick off and make plays and try to change that attitude toward that."
Santana Moss says playing Kirk Cousins now is ‘almost like setting a guy up for failure’
"It’s kind of tough to put him into this situation right now and hope for him to be excellent," Moss said at Redskins Park. "It’s almost like setting a guy up for failure. But you just want him to go out there and be at ease and just take his time, be as efficient as he can because it’s one of those situations that’s like, you know, Catch[-22]. He don’t play as well, then you’re gonna say, ‘Well, should he have been in there?’ But you can’t do that to him because he hasn’t had all this season to go out there and jell with us. But he has been ready enough to go out there and be able to run this offense. So we’re just hoping for the best."
