Analyzing Dwayne Haskins’ First NFL Action vs. the Giants

Respect for Daniel Jones for beating the Bucs without Saquon 👍

Matt Ferragamo exactly the d was solid

Ahem. RUSSEL WILSON

Seems pretty obvious that Haskins is very similar to a young Jaimas Winston.

@Charlito Mani Pat McAfee brought up a good point. Dwayne Haskins is never hanging around Case on the sidelines. Case might not be a great QB, he doesn’t have the tangibles, but he’s a veteran who has been there and done that and would be a great guy to learn from. If you’re a young QB who is still in the “learning the offense” phase, most of the time you’re stuck to the starter like white on rice, reviewing the film during games and trying to see what went wrong, then going over it with the starter so he can tell you what he sees.

@Charlito Mani we gotta give it time to see who made the right choice

@SynsityGW The two are directly competing for a job. Keenum had a very similar final season in college with 48 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Haskins could show more respect. Hopefully Haskins won’t become Jameis Winston (the Jamarcus Russell is a bit of a low blow).

@uncoy It’s not about showing respect, it’s about learning more about the offense and learning how to be a pro QB. Haskins should be staying closer to him to try and absorb as much knowledge as possible from a guy who has been around the league and knows a lot about being a professional QB, but on the sidelines he seems like he’d rather be sitting around doing nothing than watching the film. Could just be that when the camera cut to him he was taking a break though, you never know. But while Keenum was watching film in between drives, Haskins was nowhere near him.

Te Lamb smartass

You never made it so keep that can of beer in your left hand and that remote in your right hand

GRD7 good point. But still. That might be one of the worst rookie days I’ve ever seen. And before you come after me like a said THE worst, I said *ONE* of the worst.

@GRD7 you are in no position to tell anyone that they haven’t accomplished anything in their life….I shouldn’t have to tell you that…I’m 14 smh….

@GRD7 a fan of the NFL can share their opinion on the players…if they ain’t ready for criticism… They ain’t ready for success…

He never merited being a 16# pick in the first round. He was so overrated coming out of college, it was ridiculous. The front office want3 him, the coaches didn’t. Sadly, Haskins will be a bust.

That and Dwayne isn’t ready

The team is bad as a whole, point all you want

K Pax wait till we get our line and Dwayne Haskins gets experience

@Clickz DooMs Oh I can see he has potential but just like at OSU, he needs time to dismantle defenses

@Charles Black this perspective is very hyperbolic. He was one of the best on the board, and we can see his progression demonstrated in the games through the preseason. Arm talent obvious, mobility underrated, strong confidence in self and talent, leadership, pocket presence all there. I dont know what you’re referring to but these are the things that the scouts identified. You obviously didn’t know he got no practice time with the starters all season before being thrown out there as a rookie. What specifics are you referring to that say he is a bust?

@Rob G Its funny that media talking heads were bashing the Skins for not starting Haskins after 0-3, then they bash them for putting him in the game against a bad Giants secondary. I’m not saying Gruden handled it right. Also, there were several scouts who were down on Haskins before the draft. He fell out of being a predicted top-5 pick. The Skins coaches didn’t want to draft him. I watched every game he played at OSU. I saw a guy that put up huge numbers against the weaker teams, and struggled in crunch time. When I watch Haskins throw, I think he tends to sling the ball from 3/4 instead of over the top. This leads to overthrown balls and balls that sail on him when he tries to finesse. He reminds me a lot of Jaimis Winston. Will throw a lot of INTs. So, you’re saying to needs to go back to the bench, for how long? Haskins has a great arm, but he’s below average in other needed QB skills. Anyhow, we’ll see how it plays out.

@Charles Black I noticed you didn’t identify any other QB skills other than release point. Then at the same time you said he has a great arm. That doesn’t exactly match. I didn’t mention any of the stats at Ohio State exactly because of what you stated so that’s fair. But, looking at his Redskins games you see progression with each game in the preseason. Even the interceptions Sunday were him throwing 50/50 balls into 1 on 1 coverage. That kind of mistake makes sense if you don’t know the guy you’re throwing to likely won’t win that. Experience and practice solves that problem, especially when you are use to your receivers winning that battle most times. It is entirely different than Case and Cousins throwing ints to triple and quadruple coverage. Point is Dwayne’s lack of experience constitutes the mistakes he made and are only improved with experience. He has the mindset to bounce back and I think there’s no excuse for not giving him a fair shot to practice and play with the starters. The rest of the QB skills are there when you actually watch him playing in a Redskins uniform.

@Rob G I’m a redskins fan and I’m pretty sure Haskins isnt going to pan out. Not because he is bad but because Dan Schneider will ensure he has the worst pieces possible around him. The only way the skins do anything is if Schneider sells the team

@Carson P that may or may not be true. We both hope it isn’t. #HTTR

cb saucypa82 I’m smelling some Jeff Fisher/Goff/Vince young vibes with this move. When I heard he had zero reps with the Oline and WRS, I’m thinking why play him? Start him fresh the following week. But like Jeff Fisher Gruden will be ghost after this season…Hopefully.

I agree, this isn’t his fault. He never merited being a 16# pick in the first round. He was so overrated coming out of college, it was ridiculous. The front office want3 him, the coaches didn’t. Sadly, Haskins will be a bust.

@Charles Black – What ever he’ll be, he’s still better than cousins!

He didn’t sabotage his career, Haskins isn’t going to have a career. Mark it down.

Charles Black you a hater. I’ve already seen you in multiple comments talking bad about this man

that is exactly why he did it

Exactly

In this game, Haskins was the backup QB. McCoy was not active, Keenum got hurt. Other rookie QBs ((Kyler, D Jones, Minshew) are doing fine and playing with poise, I don’t see why he wasn’t ready, You pick a guy 16# overall and you expect as much

The key is Dan Schneider selling the team
