Case Keenum will be the No. 2. Colt McCoy will be the three.

Says both Case Keenum and Colt McCoy were obviously disappointed, because of how competitive they are. But Callahan said they will be supportive of the rookie and help aide in his development.

Callahan said the consistency of Haskins' play against Buffalo played a role in naming him the starter. He also mentioned Haskins needs experience #Redskins #HTTR

Callahan: “He needs the experience. Let’s be frank. We’re at a place we don’t want to be record wise, so let’s give him the opportunity.”

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 11, 2019

“We have a lot of confidence in Dwayne... he’s worked hard, he’s smart, he’s studied, and this will be a great opportunity for him moving forward.” https://t.co/6D0K5ysgxU

Team hasn’t exactly decided how they’re diving up the carries between Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice. Mentioned RB coach Randy Jordan will help in that decision.

Callahan doesn’t have a plan for a Guice-Peterson split yet. But Guice is fully preparing to play and is 100 good to go. #redskins

Bill Callahan says Derrius Guice is “itching” to get back on the field.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 11, 2019

Callahan said there’s been no decision as to who will start at RB with Guice and Peterson. He said he would not make either inactive. My sense has been AP would be the guy. We shall see

Callahan said he watched the #Jets game “on the tube.” He was impressed with what he saw from Darnold.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 11, 2019

Callahan says he has “great compassion” for Trent Williams. He says he can’t comment on the team’s decision to place him on NFI.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 11, 2019

Bill Callahan “I have nothing but the utmost respect for Trent.” Coach says Williams played for him for 4 years and that he has nothing but empathy and sympathy for his medical situation. “I always love the guy.”

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 11, 2019

Callahan on Trent Williams: “I’ve always loved the guy and loved coaching him. ...meant a lot to my career.”

— John Keim (@john_keim) November 11, 2019

When asked what led to Trent Williams being put on NFI, Bill Callahan said he has nothing but respect for Williams, and compassion for what he went through. Outside of that, he said Williams has been great for him the four years he has coached him and has nothing else to offer.
