Third Down Conversions:
Cousins: "all third downs have been different but bottom line is we're not converting enough of them."
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 15, 2014
Cousins says he's not trying to do too much on third downs. Says he's not doing enough.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 15, 2014
Cousins says fixing turnover woes and third down issues are No. 1 priority. Will be focus in practice this week.

Cousins: Not converting on third downs exposes a lot of problems because of fewer opportunities to make up ground.

Interceptions:
Cousins said his turnovers have been "atrocious." He's trying to do too much late in games, he said.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) October 15, 2014
Cousins said 7 picks in two-a-half quarters is "atrocious." Added that discrepancy in 1st and 2nd half stats is not related to pressure.

Cousins: "it's been 2, 2-1/2 quarters that I've thrown seven interceptions, and that's just atrocious."

Robert Griffin III returning to practice:
Cousins doesn't know what the week by week plan for working RGIII back entails but says that he can't let it distract him.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 15, 2014
Cousins said he "can't" allow RG3's impending return to practice/lineup to affect how he prepares.

Moving in the pocket:
Cousins' said he can't force scramble, moving around. Said bootlegs, option depends on what defense gives the offense.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) October 15, 2014
Cousins: "there are times I don't give myself enough credit as an athlete." Says he needs to scramble and move around more to extend plays.

Missed opportunities:
Cousins says patience, not accuracy, has hurt him on short throws. Normally does well there but has lacked timing, he believes.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 15, 2014
Cousins says many issues are contributing to misses on short routes. Timing, chemistry with WRs, footwork, etc. Not an accuracy problem.

Learning from mistakes:
Cousins: "I've been through my fair share of challenges." Said learning from mistakes will be key in getting a win moving forward.
