7 years agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins admitted that he'd like to get better outside of the pocket when a play breaks down. "I'd love to be a better quarterback off-schedule when the pocket breaks down," Cousins said. "Although, I have been a very good quarterback, I believe, on keepers, meaning bootlegs outside the pocket, which are very similar to off-schedule plays. So I'd like to see that translate more, where when a dropback breaks down and I leave the pocket, I can have the same kind of production that I've had when we've run bootlegs and things like that." Some people think that Cousins could struggle in Minnesota if offensive coordinator John DeFilippo's system forces Cousins to freelance too much and make plays on his own. Cousins may start out slow, but the bevvy of options he has in the passing and running game suggest he should still be very solid as a QB1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
