Griffin era over, Cousins named starter

It's official; the Robert Griffin III era is over in Washington DC. 

After Head Coach Jay Gruden named Kirk Cousins the starter for the 2015 season, we knew that there was no better person to speak to about this change than the Washington Post's Jerry Brewer, who joins us for this weeks episode. 

Brewer knows General Manager Scot McCloughan better than any reporter out there, having covered him for years in Seattle, so we pick his brain about what this shift signals for the Redskins roster as they continue to rebuild, and what fans can expect from the 2015 on-field Redskins product.

There's a huge element of uncertainty surrounding the Redskins at the moment, but brilliant football minds like Jerry Brewer help shine a clarifying light on things.

Thanks for listening!
