Case is playing Aaron Rodgers for scout team and they’ve put a huge emphasis on mixing up the cadence and mixing tempos in and out of the huddle.

Seems like he's on track to return vs. Green Bay this weekend.

Asked about former Redskins OLB Preston Smith, Callahan said Green Bay is sending him from both sides and notes he’s even attacking from inside a bit. Smith has a career high 10.5 sacks this year.
Derrius Guice:
Interim head coach Bill Callahan at the podium. Said he is impressed with how far Derrius Guice has come in two year given his limited amount of playing time. #Redskins #HTTR

Packers run game:
Callahan said there are a lot of similarities between what Green Bay is doing in the run and what the Rams are doing with Sean McVay.

Crowd noise:
#Redskins practice featured crowd noise today, which will certainly be a factor on Sunday at Lambeau Field. #Redskins #HTTR

Nate Orchard:
Callahan on OLB Nate Orchard, the newest #Redskins celebrity.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 4, 2019
"His growth has been extraordinary for one week."
Nate Orchard's growth has been extraordinary, Callahan said with a laugh. Still hard to imagine that he had such a tremendous impact on last Sunday's game after being with the team for about a week. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 4, 2019
Sacks:
Callahan said that sacks are the responsibility of everyone, not just Dwayne. So while the sacks have increased since Haskins became the starter, he's not the only one at fault. #Redskins

Progressions:
Haskins at the podium. He said the biggest change in his progression is trusting his eyes and feet
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) December 4, 2019
Haskins said the biggest part of his growth has been setting his eyes and his feet. Then it's a matter of going through his progression and finding the open man.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 4, 2019
Playing in Green Bay:
Haskins on playing in Green Bay on Sunday: “I’ve played in some cold games in the Big Ten... handwarmers, soup, chicken broth, all that” will be used when trying to stay warm throughout the game.
— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) December 4, 2019
Two-minute drill:
Haskins said one of his strong suits is the two-minute drill, and that was apparent against the Panthers.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 4, 2019
He had three straight first-down completions at the end of the first half and looked as confident as ever has since joining the #Redskins
Winning streak:
Haskins said the two-game winning streak has created much more energy around the team.
