"Smart. Detailed. He has a plan," said Redskins defensive backs coach Raheem Morris. "They give him simple reads, and he does a great job of figuring them out.

Kirk Cousins: 'Be brutally honest with yourself' | Comcast SportsNet Washington
"Human nature would say you’re going to be more careful," Cousins said during his weekly news conference on Thursday. "But if you do that, I think you get in more trouble than you help yourself. So it’s important in talking with the coaches, watching film from the [Giants] game to just go back and trust my reads, trust my instincts and play the game." In last week’s 45-14 loss to New York, Cousins threw four interceptions—three came in the span of four possessions in the third quarter—and lost a fumble. In the ensuing film sessions, Cousins said he asked the coaching staff to be tough on him. "You have to be brutally honest with yourself," he said. "You have to check your ego at the door when you walk into the film room and say to the coaches, ‘Let’s make sure this never happens again. However you have to coach me, be hard on me to make sure that it gets through.’"

"He’s obviously a great corner but we feel like we have good receivers and we have to go out and challenge whoever the corner is," said Redskins coach Jay Gruden. "That’s why we went out and got DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon, Andre Roberts. So hopefully those guys will be up to the challenge." The Redskins will be relying on backup quarterback Kirk Cousins to get the ball to those receivers. He is coming off of a four-interception game against the Giants and Gruden said that he will need to do his part and get some help.

Friends Richard Sherman, DeSean Jackson to reunite on Monday - ESPN
Just how long has Sherman known Jackson? "Since we were in elementary school, in the second or third grade," Sherman said. Sherman and Jackson were Little League teammates growing up in the Compton area of Los Angeles. DeSean’s father, Bill, was one of their coaches. Bill died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. Sherman wrote a column defending DeSean last year when he was accused of being involved in gangs. Jackson was released by the Philadelphia Eagles last March and signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the Redskins in April. "He’s always been always been one of the top athletes in whatever sport we were playing," Sherman said of Jackson. "A lot of people would’ve guessed he would’ve gone baseball, especially early on in the way his father was involved in baseball. He has always been a fantastic athlete."
