Raiders QB Kirk Cousins on Preseason Progress

I thought it was good to get out there again, get the experience, the reps. There's nothing like game experience. It's good to be able to go line, substituting, looking guys in the eye in the huddle, you know, having to overcome penalties, convert third downs, all that stuff. So, Cliff did another great job of getting the plays in quickly. Felt like we were never up against the play clock. That was a good procedural thing as well. Really impressed with Tyler Linderbaum, the way he plays, competes, he kind of elevates everybody. You know, I was pleased with a lot of the effort. The way he ran the ball really well. Good to sustain drives. Good to overcome a holding penalty period, first and 20. So, a lot of positives. Just want to finish with touchdowns instead of field goals. Would have loved to have converted that last third down to keep that drive going. Take any questions, yeah? Yeah, we can talk about the positives. We can talk about, like you say, coming away with points, converting third downs, running the football well, avoiding penalties, protecting the football, all positives. I can also sit here and talk about, you know, some of the meat we left on the ball and some of the plays that, you know, we could have made or should have made or reads I should have made. So, it goes both ways and that's what it's all about and going back and watching the tape. But, certainly some positives. Yeah, he runs hard. Yeah, he runs hard, fast, tough player. Football's important to him. And, you know, he's a young player. So, there's going to be moments where he'll say, yeah, he's not a fifth year player that's seen it all and done it all. I think that's where myself and others, we have to come alongside him and help him and enable him to, you know, start to feel comfortable early on, even though he doesn't have a lot of reason to feel comfortable. I want to do everything I can to make him feel comfortable there and do a nice job that I got in football.
