From the episode

I think the book is out on Kirk Cousins right now. And that he can be smart under pressure, but how good can he be under pressure, right? When you look at under pressure in this game, 8 for 17, 94 yards. And when you talk about the blitz as well, 7 for 14 for 65 yards against the blitz.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Cousins' pressure performance (8-17, 94 yards) signals decline; Mendoza time.

Cousins has started the season well for the Raiders, but the source believes the book is out on him: he struggles under pressure (8 for 17, 94 yards in this game) and against the blitz (7 for 14, 65 yards), lacking the mobility to make plays outside of structure; the source suggests Fernando Mendoza should replace him.
