NFC Notes: Kirk Cousins, Andy Dalton, Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers

Buccaneers

Falcons

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins admitted that he’s going to have to get used to receiving snaps from left-handed C Ryan Neuzil.

โ€œTypically, the lefty is very different,โ€ Cousins said, via PFT. โ€œHe actually does a pretty good job of making it feel seamless when he snaps it under center. And then the [shotgun] snaps, yeah, the ball may rotate a little different or spin different. But nothing too major as long as you can get used to it.โ€

Panthers

Carolina QB Andy Dalton can relate to QB Bryce Young as he was benched in 2019 after an 0-8 start. Dalton reflected on what the moment taught him and discussed how he uses it to help Young.

“It was hard, because I had a lot of conversations that seemed like [Taylor] felt differently,” Dalton said, via ESPN’s David Newton. “Obviously, I got it. We hadn’t won a game yet, but I felt like there was a lot of other factors involved.”

“It gives me a whole different perspective on this thing [with Young] because I’ve been through it on every angle. I was able to get back after three games and throw a touchdown that broke the Bengals’ all-time record for touchdown passes and won a couple of games to finish the season.”

Panthers WR Adam Thielen spoke on Young and Dalton’s bond which has helped morale for everyone. 

“This is a relationship that has been built between the two of them over a long time,” Thielen added. “They trust each other. They love each other.”
