“It is cool to find himself as a player when your back-to-back weeks are Kirk Cousins when you’re primarily emphasizing pocket passing,” McDaniel said. “And our defense has to be ready for off-schedule plays this week; I’m not sure there’s a quarterback that’s done it better in his league than Russell Wilson. It is beneficial to have that variance. Whatever you’re emphasizing, you get reps at that component of your game. So having them back-to-back weeks has been great for him.”
