Bill Callahan Redskins Conference Call: "We're trying to win games still"

Callahan says they’re still monitoring Keenum. He’s day-to-day. Still his job if he’s healthy. They’ll figure out everything from there.

Callahan says Haskins needs a little bit more work before throwing him out there: “It’s a fine line. We’re trying to win games still.”

Callahan conference call now.

In speaking about Haskins, he relates it to Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers and San Francisco with Steve Young. Both QBs sat for a while and made a "seamless" transition when their time was called.

Callahan says Dwayne Haskins wears his emotions on his sleeve. "He doesnt want to let anybody down"

Callahan said the #Redskins have a great group of veteran players who want nothing but the best for Dwayne Haskins.

They've mentored, guided and given advice to Haskins to make him a better pro.

Callahan on Haskins: “When you’re thrusted into a situation as a rookie, oh boy, it’s challenging.”

Callahan says "we're trying to win games still" and that's a big part of the QB decision

Callahan: "We're playing hard, but we need to make plays."

Callahan says he has a great relationship with Trent Williams and that he doesnt know about any of the latest reports. "That's really, completely out of my control"

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 25, 2019

Callahan on the Trent Williams report from yesterday: “I’ve got a great rapport with Trent, but I really don’t much about that situation.”

He’s dealing with the players that are here. No gas on the fire.

No update on CB Quinton Dunbar, who exited last night's game with a hamstring issue.

Callahan says they’re hopeful Chris Thompson can come back this week and Derrius Guice could return to practice

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 25, 2019

Callahan says Derrius Guice could practice this week. Not ready for games yet.

Also hope to have Chris Thompson back. Vernon Davis is TBD.

Callahan mentions Holcomb, Bostic and Collins as defensive standouts. Also mentioned that the defensive line trio has been consistent but that the #Redskins are looking for a little more production off the edge.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) October 25, 2019

Callahan has made repeated references to going "toe to toe" with Minnesota and San Francisco as two of the best teams in the NFC.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 25, 2019

In practice this week, Callahan said the #Redskins will emphasize capitalizing in the red zone and off of opponents' turnovers.

At the halfway point of the season, Callahan says the Redskins have raised their effort level but need to get better in the second-half of games.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 25, 2019

I asked Bill Callahan if the goal switches from winning games to developing young players for the future. The coach says yes, but it's the whole team, not just young players.
