Kirk Cousins is getting his “dad swag.” The new father is not only overlooking a revamped offense, but a son Cooper who arrived three games into the season.
“I felt like I had dad swag before I was a dad,” Cousins said. “I’m the kind of guy in high school who would wear a braided belt and cargo shorts, white socks that came up half way up my ankles. I was probably one step away from Velcro shoes and a visor and an oversized polo tucked in, maybe even a Palm Pilot on my belt. . . . I guess I fit the dad vibe for the most part.
“I think perspective is the thing that I’ve learned [since Cooper’s birth on Sept. 29.] When you throw a few interceptions and come home from a tough loss, I think it’s going to eat at you a little less. I think when you’re on top of the world after a big win you’re going to come home and realize that you’re not as big of a deal as you think you are. I think that’s a healthy thing. I remember reading in Drew Brees’ book, he talked about how after having his first son that his time management was better at work because he wanted to get home and be with his son and so he wanted to maximize his time at work and be efficient, and I think all those things come into play. Hopefully it makes me a better player.”
Cousins is once more growing into his role as franchise player. After a poor opener, he has played well in three straight games, including one of the better of his six-year career when upsetting Oakland.

Never a quiet time for WFT

Bargains can be valuable additions
Raise your hand if you muttered derisively last offseason when the Washington Football Team signed free-agent tight end Logan Thomas away from the Detroit Lions.
