Redskins interim Head Coach Bill Callahan and starting QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. stepped up to the podium today. Callahan gave some injury updates, including Ryan Kerrigan being in the concussion protocol. He has never missed a game since entering the league in 2011, and that streak could be in jeopardy this week. Haskins said his wrist injury shouldn't affect him this week vs the Panthers.

Practice:
Callahan continues to make changes to practice. Today there were less reps in order to get on and off the field quicker. The interim head coach said Wednesday's practice was a good start to the week of preparation against the Panthers. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) November 27, 2019
Callahan says as they get later in the year they streamline things with practice reps to try and stay fresh. Some of the base runs/passes don’t need as much work, so they spend time on the new stuff and keep the fundamentals where they have been since he took over.

Fabian Moreau:
Callahan said Fabian Moreau has the skillset to play in man coverage and challenge people on the line of scrimmage. Moreau had two interceptions in the #Redskins win over the #Lions #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) November 27, 2019
Callahan said He thinks Fabian Moreau is probably best suited to play outside. Likes his skill set outside, ability to challenge more. Different deal inside. Feels having Moreland inside gives the D a different look.

Analytics:
Skins analytics question was about in-game - clock management and 4th down decisions. There are 2 guys on front office staff with analytic functions
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 27, 2019
A few questions about analytics during Callahan's presser today. Callahan said they've definitely looked into some numbers, but they don't have an analytics department. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) November 27, 2019
Callahan says there’s a ton of value to getting information on situational football discussions (i.e. 4th downs) but at the end of the day there’s still a gut instinct decision to be made. The more you do it and the more data you have, the better you’ll be at making those.
