Haskins in his own words
 

Fresh thread time, excellent read

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

Yes a GREAT read. DH passes the eye test for me. He looks like a QB. Big Ben, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees to name a few look like QB's.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

He also majored in journalism, pretty cool stuff. I am rooting for the kid!

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I think Haskins will be a good scheme fit for Scott Turner and RR.

We really need his young weapons to mature quickly tho...

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I think this should settle any fears of him not understanding what he has to do to improve. He clearly gets it.

Or it's the other way around. I read this article explaining how Scott likes to call plays that take advantage of players' strengths. So I can see Scott working with Haskins to figure out what Haskins is good at and then call appropriate plays that will showcase Haskins's strengths.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

This was an insightful read into his thinking. I like hearing how he breaks it down for himself - avoiding the negative plays, don't compound mistakes by trying to be a hero. It shows a guy who is focused on taking each incremental step and layering it. It says he's likely to continue improving.

Exactly.

I also like that I read about Turner's use of analytics to help in breaking tendancies in how he calls games.

So we have a young, talented, motivated QB ... with a young, up-and-coming, OC whose Daddy is pretty much a legend in the league ... and a Defense that is built with first round talent and has a DC that has proven himself in that position several times in the past.

It's hard not to like the direction we're finally pointing to.

Say your prayers that our O-Line can find some semblance of competency. Next year could be pretty fun, with zero expectations. It would be great to fuck up Dallas' dreams.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I like the fact that he acknowledges his mistakes AND the fact that it was frustrating for him that "it wasn't easy".
I think there may have been a little bit of "I'm so good I don't need to work, it's always been easy to win", so it's a great sign that he became aware of it and accepted it was not going to be easy.

Meh. He's okay but he ain't no Tua.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I have high hopes for Haskins this year and I think he'll surprise people.

Looks like he is taking this offseason seriously.
Dude is down to 7% body fat :httr:

7%?

What a fat piece of shit.

Tua's probably around 3-4%

:funnypost

Seriously though I heard Sheehan said Haskins already lost 4% body fat last offseason and people were impressed by how big of a difference it made in the way he moved, and now he has lost 4% more, that's a good sign, both from a mobility and motivation/worth ethic sand point.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

The more I think about it, the more I realize last season was so depressing it may very well have tainted our perception of Haskins progress.

I remember thinking "yeah at the end of the season he's shown encouraging signs of improvement".

But I went back and watched the All 22 version of all offensive snaps of Giants @ Skins Week 16 until he got injured... And I don't think that's an accurate statement anymore. I think he tremendously improved. He was really really good in that game. I had a really hard time finding any bad plays in there. And he wasn't not seeing wide open receivers either. Good vision, good mobility, good accuracy.

Just look at these 2 plays and tell me what you think.
I really get the feeling [I][U]we should be more enthusiastic about Haskins' last few games, but our enthusiasm got flushed away with a 3-13 season.[/U][/I]

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I don't need any convincing, Frenchy. I'm on record here saying that Haskins will take big steps forward this coming season and that he will be a very good starting QB for the Redskins. I understand the skepticism of some fans but I think I know the "IT" factor when I see "IT" and I believe he has "IT".

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

He was balling out at the end of the season and had the fans excited. Then the offseason came around and people seem to have forgot what happened and are back to questioning him. I don't get it but oh well.

Honestly I watched the tape to convince myself in the first place, last season was so depressing I don't remember valuing his progress how it deserved.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

Another point about Haskins is that he was hampered by a sprained ankle for nearly all the games he played in. He's more mobile than he was able to show. Whenever he was able, he was mobile in the right way: avoiding the rush, keeping his eyes downfield with the idea of throwing and running when required.

Whatever areas he needs to improve in can be taught and practiced. His arm, his feel for the game, his desire to learn and get better, his toughness, his willingness to lead, his ambition to be a great player and his strong desire to win were already his when he arrived here.

I encourage everyone here to watch the videos of his leading OSU to big comeback wins against Michigan and Maryland and you'll see what he's all about.

I echo this. I was encouraged and remain so.

Those clips were against the Giants defense. And his hot streak at the end of the season came against bottom half defenses mostly. Worth noting.

At the same time his supporting cast aside from Terry was not great, either.

Not bad for a rookie and I am very intrigued about 2020 with Dwayne.

That second play...look at the route combination with the pick. That’s top notch play design.

McLaurin executed it perfectly. Got right to his spot and F'd up the CB just enough.

Yup...perfect execution and perfect throw. Love to see it

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I remember watching the scramble TD, against the Giants, with my brother (first gif posted above).

I told my bro, “Cousins probably takes a sack there while RG3 tucks the ball to run and gets blown up at the 3 yard line.”

I love Haskins pocket awareness and ability to keep his eyes down field, among other things.

Yop, to this point, the tape the week before against the Eagles is less impressive... But he was under constant pressure, his receivers dropped some balls... He also missed some throws and didn't see open receivers at times.

There still was quite a lot of good, and a bit of really good :

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

If anybody doesn't look at that film and see how vast the improvement was from his first two games, they can't be helped.

Can't wait to see what he does with more time, more experience, and more help on offense.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I expect a jump forward but how much of a jump forward depends on how much of an off-season we get.

His confidence will be much better than at the beginning of last season. So that's a plus.

But we have a new system to learn. And he has new targets to gel with.

So ... it wouldn't shock me to see him start slowly again. But show consistent improvement as the season progresses. It may fall in nicely to Rivera's pattern of having very good Decembers.

I'm bullish on the season, because I think Haskins will improve, and our Defense will be shockingly effective.

Re: Haskins in his own words
 

I wish he would have said how much time he will be putting in cleaning up that sloppy footwork and throwing motion.

Some short clips of Dwayne throwing the ball with Antonio Brown, Ocho Cinco and Stefon Diggs.

Nothing much to it.

At the very least, how is Burrow not stepping into a worse situation as a rookie on the worst team in the league from last year?

I'm not saying we are making the playoffs but we have a far better chance than Cincy does.
