Yahoo Sports NFL on Kirk Cousins

Cousins' 11 sacks in 9 games and zero blitz sacks show elite pressure management and quick release.

Cousins has been sacked just 11 times in 9 games and is the only quarterback who has not been sacked on a blitz so far this season, doing an excellent job of avoiding the rush and getting the ball out. He is a pocket passer focused on getting the ball out quickly, with his main move being to step up in the pocket to avoid the edge rush rather than scrambling to buy time.
