Dwayne Haskins has been named the #Redskins' starter for the remainder of the season.

He's getting 2 full weeks to prepare for the 2-7 Jets and the Skins only play one team with a better record than 5-4 in the next 7 weeks. This was obviously the right call.

Now that they’ve made it official, can they take the training wheels off and let the kid sling it? Take some shots to Terry.

Bill Callahan acknowledged for the first time they need to see what they have in Dwayne Haskins, particularly with the record being what it is. #redskins pic.twitter.com/YPpESQolrQ

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

Things i'd like to see this week: Give Haskins a better chance for success. That means not running on nearly 70 percent of 1st-2nd downs (as they have in last 4 games; BC desire). Doesn't mean just throw wildly, but when have single high safety take advantage. Had often vs. Buff

Since Bill Callahan took over, the Redskins have:

- ran the ball 50% of the time (league average is 38.4%)
- ran on 1st down 69.8% of the time (league average is 50.4%)
- ran the ball against an 8 man box 78.6% of the time (league average is 65.7%)#ThrowTheDamnBall

Turn. on downs

Ain't even analytics. It's common sense.

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

— John Keim (@john_keim) November 11, 2019

Realized that I never watched the 2nd half film from Buffalo, so doing that now.

The #Redskins really lined up in the 3rd quarter down 17-6 in goal line and ran it on 1st & 10 from the #Bills 25. They really did that.

Callahan, man. Dude loves him some running the football.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 11, 2019

Derrius Guice with all the juice in this locker room today with all the Bama guys around. Giving it good to Landon Collins and Cam Sims.

The #Redskins might be able to trade down with the #Dolphins.

What a strange turn of events.

#Redskins rookie LB Cole Holcomb has shown good athletic traits as well as some flashes as a run defender, but still has work to do in coverage. I broke down the rookies performance so far this season: https://t.co/Ai586Uwtn0

The #Eagles signed star G Brandon Brooks to a 4-year, $54.2M extension, source said. That makes him the highest paid guard in the league. He gets $30M guaranteed.

My favorite type of anti-analytics tweeter is the guy who thinks a team, previously trailing by 7, should go for 2 when they score a TD in the final seconds of a game, but doesn't think a team previously trailing by 14 should go for 2 after the touchdown.

Just realize that there potentially is a very good EDGE free agent class in 2020.

Something to think about not only for the Skins, who should have 90+ million in cap space in 2020, but for other teams looking for pass rush help
