Chris LOVES the @Redskins. Literally never misses a game and always wears his jersey on game day. He’ll go to games even if he sits in the corner of the nosebleeds. Die hard. Through good and bad. The signed football meant everything. He couldn’t stop touching it. THANK YOU!

Believe it or not, I liked what I saw in Haskins last night. The interceptions can be fixed. It was how he reacted after the picks that impressed me. He didn't pout or hang his head. Didn't point fingers. Just listened to what the coaches had to say. Learning experience!
— Ed Sheahin (@NFLPhotoGuy) August 9, 2019
Had a few people suggest this was on the RB as the LG came across to pick up the Mike. If it was 3 Jet as I suspect, LG’s assignment was the DT. He played smart in noticing an issue & tried to help out, but his assignment was DT and the RB’s assignment was the Mike. Not RBs fault https://t.co/PDEKYBkDje

Clinton Portis on Dwayne Haskins: "That first pass, that opening pass of the game gives you hope... You had some mistakes. That stuff you can work out." #Redskins
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 9, 2019
Seeing Haskins last night kind of changed my view on whether he should start sooner than later.... his ability to move in the pocket, the athleticism and passion he displayed makes me think it wouldn’t hurt playing him sooner.

In a way I’m kinda glad Haskins struggled tonight. Keeps us from over hyping him so early...let the kid learn, I don’t want to have another RGIII scenario. Patience is a virtue.
— Hilary (@HilareeBanks) August 9, 2019
Correct amount. If Haskins is playing 16 games this year, save him. But because he’s not, give him every possible second of learning time.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) August 9, 2019
It was more surprise than anything. I didn't think he would play that long in the game to begin with. I know he needs to play. Just surprise & was worried about those that would see that & hammer Jay for exposing him with nobody around him.

Josh Doctson thought: Plenty of talk about him being cut. If he's on bubble, he should a trade candidate. If he was actually at risk wouldn't he have played last night? Don't you play him last night if you're trying to boost his value? His DNP suggests he is making it, no? pic.twitter.com/7qZRlI7vZL

One of my favorite late round guys is James Madison CB Jimmy Moreland. He's a ballhawk with outstanding play speed. He's undersized but I could see him moving to safety and getting his hands on a bunch of footballs. He reminds me of @Damontaekazee coming out of college.

2) Brown’s vocal resistance to the mandate, both during OTAs and shortly after his arrival in Napa, Calif. for training camp, has contributed to a disconnect with the team that acquired the seven-time Pro Bowl selection via a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers last March...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
4) Brown initially left to seek an additional medical opinion on his frostbitten feet. Before leaving, Brown pushed back for a third time against the league’s prohibition of the helmet model he has worn for his entire nine-year career...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
6) The pushback began in May, when the receiver was informed by the Raiders that the NFL had officially eliminated the one-year grace period for certain helmet models, including the one worn by Brown, which had fallen short in laboratory testing for head-impact severity...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
8) On a conference call with reporters earlier this spring, Jeff Miller, the NFL’s exec VP of health & safety initiatives, said that any team found to have known about a player wearing a banned helmet or to have facilitated the use of one would be subject to league discipline...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
10) When he showed up for the 1st OTA, however, Brown requested his old helmet. After being told he’d have to wear an approved model, witnesses say, the WR loudly voiced his displeasure, complaining QBs such as Brady and Rodgers were not being subjected to the same scrutiny...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
12) The following day, Brown showed up in Alameda and acted like nothing had happened, accepting the new helmet from an equipment manager without protest and completing the workout...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
14) He was told the helmet was not allowed, and once again, he acquiesced and wore the new model. Before Brown arrived at training camp last month, coaches and teammates believed the issue had been resolved...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
16) “He’s still freaking out about it,” said one Raiders player. “He hasn’t been here for awhile, and no one knows where he’s at.” ...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
18) Since joining the Raiders, Brown has frustrated his new bosses by showing up late to numerous meetings and by often appearing unfocused in them...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
20) Still, according to one source, “the meeting thing isn’t that bad… but the feet, helmet and going dark is an issue.”
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) August 9, 2019
(END)
Raiders’ WR Antonio Brown had a two-hour hearing today with league officials regarding whether he will be allowed to wear his old helmet; his NFL future could be riding on it.

You cant win anything when your best player is a malcontent, moody, unreliable diva. That is a one-way ticket to an awful culture and locker room discord.
Can you imagine him explaining to his kids, years from now, "daddy left $50M on the table for good reason. I had to change helmets like the other 1,695 players in the league did."
