Kirk Cousins understands that the Washington Redskins need to continue giving reps to Robert Griffin III to aide in his development.

Many have called for the Redskins to sit Griffin for the remainder of the season to focus on getting healthy while giving some playing time to Cousins.

“Robert’s a young player too,” Cousins said at Redskins Park. “He’s getting better and he’s learning and it doesn’t happen overnight. So to take him off the field so I can develop, then he’s not developing and obviously it’s a much bigger deal for him to get those reps than for me, being that he’s the starting quarterback. So it sounds nice to say that. But I think you’ve got to understand what that means for Robert. So I’ll roll with whatever they decide. But you’ve got to see it from both angles.”

Cousins has had no conversations with the Redskins about playing.
