Callahan to the podium.

Said Haskins' rapport with center Chase Roullier has improved rapidly.

Added Roullier "is one of the better centers in the league" in his ability to not only block, but identify blitzes and defensive schemes and translate that to the rest of the O-line.

Callahan said QB Tim Rattay has done a great job bringing Haskins along in his development. Also called Alex Smith a great resource for Haskins.

Callahan says it’s hard to put a specific or exact number on when a team knows what they have with a young QB. “It’s a body of work, it’s a depth of work.”

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 20, 2019

Callahan said it's an "ongoing process" when evaluating the true potential of a young quarterback. Everyone develops and matures at a different rate, he said, so it's hard exactly how long the process should take. #Redskins

Callahan called penalties against the Jets "costly" and said they have to go back to the drawing board and readdressing those issues. #Redskins #HTTR

Haskins says he found himself pressing some plays against the Jets. He’d like to get a better balance moving forward

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 20, 2019

Haskins: I thought I was trying to press based on the situations we were in. As I continues to play, it'll be better for me to learn when to take shots. #Redskins #HTTR

Haskins says Ryan Day used to preach that leadership wasn’t screaming in people’s faces. It’s providing the right feedback for guys who learn and react differently.
