The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

Our @WTKR3 highlights from today's 1-on-1s at #SkinsCamp (1st day in pads) featuring:
— Adam Winkler (@AdamWinkSports) July 27, 2019
Landon Collins (@TheHumble_21) intercepting rookie QB Dwayne Haskins, Case Keenum (@casekeenum) connecting with Jordan Reed & Cam Sims (@Silkysims17).#HTTR #NFLhttps://t.co/bcg345ppnk pic.twitter.com/HIbTVD1ukt
Check out this throw by Dwayne Haskins on the play-action corner route. Beautiful. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/N600nrwp50

Still 2 min. Haskins showing off arm strength making a cross the hash throw to Kidsy. Last two passes coming out quick. Good situational football. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/4DUqvj0wG6
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Next play, Keenum on an out route to Vernon Davis. Quinton Dunbar shows crazy recognition and closing speed to get in front of Davis for the interception #Redskins pic.twitter.com/u8dIHQcsHp
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
2 min drill. Montez Sweat covering Jordan Reed. Good route by Reed but seeing Sweat start and stop and mirror him was crazy #Redskins pic.twitter.com/T7oOERRWBt
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Such a good route by Jordan Reed. Subtle movement gets Troy Apke to go inside before Reed breaks outside. Keenum with a well timed pass. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/FR24xIX9JD
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Throw a little too far for Trey Quinn but Flowers does a good job riding Kerrigan inside and seeing late edge blitz and picking it up. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/McXiraNDRW
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
TJ Rahming vs. Jimmie Moreland. Moreland gets a little handsy. Can hear Gruden yell "stop grabbing." Josh Woodrum delivers nice ball on corner route. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/XnVsLCj2Q4
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
2 v 2. Cam Sims and Steven Sims stacked. Deep out with zipper underneath creates high/low read. Keenum hits Steven Sims underneath #Redskins pic.twitter.com/H7zhdkCzWW

— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Not a smart throw to make in a game, but Haskins is probably sacked three times before he releases this ball as the OL just fell apart. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/ICFhdV7EXh
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Nice get off and bend by Ryan Anderson from left side to ruin the play. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/piidmn8VPM
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
They try to block Montez Sweat (right side) with a TE (Holtz). Sweat JACKS him up and shows acceleration. This is a sack. But good throw to Jordan Reed. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/zjtDXuhpon
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Next play after that, Keenum gets this pass off to Derrius Guice but they choose to leave Casanova McKinzy unblocked. Look at the speed. If he could full out push Keenum, I think it alters the play. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/f7PNqmnUoo
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Next play, Casanova McKinzy beats Timon Parris (61) inside. Keenum hits Kidsy on drag but would have been sacked #Redskins pic.twitter.com/ENusMFstBC
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Case Keenum hits Jeremy Sprinkle on drag route. PLEASE watch Casanova McKinzy (58) from left side. He's running stunt inside so Hamilton can blitz outside. But McKinzy times snap so well and is so fast, he beats Moses inside. Moses can't even pass him off cuz he's already beaten pic.twitter.com/IHKisHI2S3
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Case Keenum with nice ball placement on corner route to McLaurin in front of Josh Norman. Just outside his reach though. Flowers held up well vs. Allen on left. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/OzdLrTlXIl
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Case Keenum with short out route to Doctson. You see left side of line collapsing. Flowers opened up outside but no one came from there so a little late coming inside to help. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/Sl0x0lsI9o

Ereck Flowers helps double Jonathan Allen. Byron Marshall picks up blitzing Landon Collins. Haskins throws it late to Trey Quinn and Dunbar picks it off, returning it for TD #Redskins pic.twitter.com/4dmsIpMrQW
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin vs Josh Norman and Fabian Moreau. Running the corner/reverse zipper combo. Norman gets a good jam on McLaurin, Trey Quinn got a little separation from Moreau but Keenum thought he'd throw reverse zipper. Late decision to go deep. Moreau with break up pic.twitter.com/lCMZHa0UGq
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
Cam Sims vs. Deion Harris. Good coverage by Harris downfield on fly route. Keenum makes a great back shoulder throw and Sims shows off the ability to track the ball and pull in the catch. Beautiful. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/Qx15SI73o6
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 27, 2019
TJ Rahming vs. Adonis Alexander. Rahming a little unconventional to try and get Adonis to open up outside. Adonis doing his best not to create penalty with contact. Hard for a guy Adonis size vs. Rahming speed without contact. Easy slant. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/9UiUkWQH6t

I’m not a fan of moving around the OL too much. Gotta let as many players as possible play their best/natural spots. Start moving 2 or 3 guys around and suddenly everyone is in new positions and the cohesion is totally gone
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) July 27, 2019
Either you do whatever it takes to get Trent back or sign Donald Penn and hope he’s better than what you’ve got. Put Scherff out at LT, a position he’s not played in years and was never likely to play in the NFL and then a some guy at RG will get destroyed by Fletcher Cox week 1

Gruden on Jordan Reed: "Looks very explosive right now. Looks phenomenal right now."

Gruden on Reed/Thompson: "We're a different team with those two guys in the game."
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) July 27, 2019
"Jordan Reed is a unique player. Not many teams have a guy like that...you can double WR's all you want, but backs are the ones that really create matchups."
Was looking up new #Redsins free agent signing Corey Robinson's draft profile from 2015 and his player comp was former Giants guard John Jerry. Not a horrible comparison. Redskins kicked tires on Jerry in Oct 2018 after injuries to o-line.

Quinton Dunbar with back-to-back picks of Case Keenum. First one was sailed, second one Dunbar made a great break on the ball. Neither throw was near the intended. Dunbar comes with big applause from the DBs #HTTR

Cole Holcomb had Dwayne Haskins running for his life on the last throw. Holcomb got through the line, and was absolutely relentless and gaining on the QB. Haskins threw it away, I’m just letting y’all know, Holcomb has a motor that does quick and is fast, fast #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 27, 2019
Defense went very aggressive sending Josh Harvey-Clemons on a blitz and leaving no one to cover the back in the flat. Case Keenum saw the heat coming, anticipated Derrius Guice being open, delivered it to him quickly, and Guice was gone #HTTR

— Dino Dinamo (@numberthirty6) July 27, 2019
This is my rookie training camp, so I can’t speak to last year, but based on what I saw from last season, they’re calling more ILB blitzes. That’s a thing for Rob Ryan, and I’ve tweeted about Bostic, Hamilton, and Holcomb being sent in the spring and the first few days of camp https://t.co/X5jN4b5MQD
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 27, 2019
Here’s a meaningless breakdown of reps and completions:
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 27, 2019
- Haskins (8 snaps, 7-8)
- Keenum (6 snaps, 4-6)
- Woodrum (2 snaps, 1-2, INT)
Haskins and Keenum each had six snaps consecutively and then Haskins got two more reps after Woodrum.
With Colt McCoy absent from practice and reportedly taking a scheduled off-day, Josh Woodrum just took some team reps for I believe the first time this week. The Liberty product had a good quick completion over the middle to Quick

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 27, 2019
Things of note at walkthrough:
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 27, 2019
— Jimmy Moreland used in slot with 1s, outside with 2s.
— Fabian Moreau getting work outside with 1s, took slot with 2s.
— Terry McLaurin working outside, where Paul Richardson lines up intermittently
— Corey Robinson took snaps at LT with 1s #HTTR
Case Keenum’s last three throws all touchdowns — one to Terry McLaurin going along the back of the end zone, good job knowing where his feet were, one to Jordan Reed on shallow out and one to Paul Richardson, who may not have made it in real game, but side stepped for one #HTTR
