And then there is this -- Chris Samuels shouldn't be next tackle in #Redskins Ring of Fame. Should be Jim Lachey-- seven seasons, 86 games, one Super Bowl ring. But most impressive-- three straight years first team All Pro from 1989 to 1991. Pro Bowl selections dwarfed by All Pro

Nicholson on the end zone dance he chose (0:15 above): "That's just a little dance we do back home in Pittsburgh. I'm not really a big celebratory guy, but I just kind of decided to put on for back home for a little bit."

Montae Nicholson on Payne (who tipped the ball that led to INT) being able to run w/ him for 96 yards: "He's a freak. He's a freak. I don't really know what else to say. He's a freak. Athletes like that don't come around very often, and I'm extremely happy that he's on my team."

Redskins injuries. We didn't receive many specifics from Gruden, but I was told Tim Settle (knee) will be fine. Morgan Moses (slight hamstring pull) told me the same with his injury. Early indications show a sprained ankle for returner Shaun Wilson, I'm told.

Great job by @InstantRHIplay as the pool reporter attempting to get @NFLOfficiating to explain themselves on the egregious job they did tonight.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 16, 2019
Unfortunately Al Riveron gave BS answers about process instead of specifics to the actual calls asked about. Zero transparency.
I have no idea how @NFLOfficiating can justify the OPI call on Harmon from tonight. They should just admit it was wrong and move on.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 16, 2019
Other dumbfounding call:
1) Haskins fumble on INC
2) Norman roughing going for the ball
3) The 2nd Harmon OPI overturned
Dwayne Haskins underthrows Kelvin Harmon. Harmon tries to make play on underthrown ball over defender who isn't looking. Ref throws flag... For OPI. Gruden challenges & loses the challenge.

Kelvin Harmon was just called for an OPI on a play that didn't involve an offensive pass interference at all. Very odd. Maybe the worst call I've ever seen. What's more amazing, that call STOOD after review. I'm flummoxed. #Redskins.

“I’ll continue to coach Kelvin Harmon to go get the football. That’s why we drafted him. If he can’t do what he did tonight, I don’t know what he can do.”
Lip-reading Jay to ref: "That's a f***ing joke, right?"

Remember when the NHL figured out the dry scrape was a bad idea like 2 weeks into the season and scrapped it? The NFL should do that with pass interference challenges.

Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins showed some maturity on his touchdown pass. A hard count got the Bengals safeties to rotate too early. Haskins changed the protection and also changed his focus. The play was originally... https://t.co/HkwyNNTW7p pic.twitter.com/1RjDpbMZHG

What's clear when you talk to Haskins is that he explains plays well. Clear/concise. that's a good thing.

Dwayne Haskins' night: 7-of-14, 114 yards, TD.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 16, 2019
He made one amazing throw that went for 55 and a score. Otherwise he was uneven in a 6-of-13, 59-yard outing. #Redskins.
Robert Davis was a crazy compelling prospect when the Skins drafted him out of Georgia State. This is the preseason he was denied last year because of that gruesome leg/knee injury
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) August 16, 2019
Last season, Doug Williams said Cam Sims "threw a hand grenade" into the team's wide receiver competition. Robert Davis is doing the same thing this year.

Case Keenum: "We don't want to be at our best right now. Going into games I want to be perfect and I want to make all the right checks.. and score touchdowns every time. But this is a process. We haven't tapped into even a portion of our potential as an offense."

Lost in the shuffle: Jay Gruden said the #Redskins are not thinking about Colt McCoy as a starter right now. Focus is on getting him healthy until he is back on the field. With the dress rehearsal in 7 days, sounds like it's Case Keenum's job.

Redskins lose 23-13. Haskins's 55-yard TDP and Nicholson's 95-yard pick-6 the highlights, but not a ton of questions answered tonight. QB competition not resolved. Penalties piled up. Some injuries to monitor. Defense meh beyond Allen, Payne.

#Redskins using quick-hit plays behind backfield to allow their speed guys a chance to make a play. Darvin Kidsy and Steven Sims have been used as decoys in jet motion and have been targeted frequently on tunnel screens.
— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) August 16, 2019
Bengals make it 23-13 after an Alex Erickson 75-yard punt return for touchdown. That is the second allowed special teams touchdown for Washington in two games.#WASvsCIN
— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) August 16, 2019
That's three special teams issues in very little preseason action. Remember, no Ben Kotwica this year. He chose to leave.

Most prevalent responses-

1) Nothing to do w/ him. "I'm burned out & hard to be emotionally attached."
2) The way RG3, Cousins, Smith sagas ended is factor.
3) He isn't going to start in WK-1. Hard to be jacked up now.
4) Perception that he was Dan's pick. Not coaching staff. https://t.co/H76hbMjLlX

Worth noting on the 3rd down sack/fumble. Haskins was late to break the huddle and then made an even later call at the LOS with 5 seconds left. Penn got beat with a stutter-step speed rush to the edge, Haskins didn't feel the pressure coming and was hit. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/QVQagvisbX
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 16, 2019
Dwayne Haskins hit as he threw. Lost a fumble that will be overturned to an incompletion. That's a play where he has to either (a) throw the ball or (b) step up in the pocket to avoid the hit. #Redskins.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 16, 2019
Penn gets beat and Haskins gets crushed from the backside. Ruled a fumble, looks like incomplete pass to me.
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) August 16, 2019
