Dwayne Haskins preseason thread

[Buffalo Bob]

He also has some at times atrocious footwork that needs to be fixed. That should be worked on in the practice field. He also needs to learn when to slide and when to run out of bounds, with his Tom Brady speed he isn't going to be ripping off any 60 yard runs anyway. Right now behind a suspect line he is an accident looking for a place to happen. He has potential, no reason to risk injury or his confidence at this time.

It amazes me in this day and age how many athletes get to the pros still lacking basic skills and have bad habits. I remember Colin Kapernick, strong arm, ran like a deer but his footwork and overall mechanics were a mess. I guess things have changed. I am pushing 60 and played quite a few different sports through college. No matter what the sport, footwork and mechanics were pounded in your head right off the bat. If you were lousy at them you spent a lot of time running laps.
