Washington loses it's first preseason game of the year, 30-10, to the Browns. Jimmy Moreland, two forced fumbles, several PBU, with a big game, Case Keenum the lone QB to find the end zone, Dwayne Haskins with a pair of picks and the offensive line, man. #HTTR

That's a wrap: 30-10 Browns...
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 9, 2019
Haskins looked like... a rookie.
the offense looked like... it was playing without too many starters.
the defense looked like... it needs to tighten up areas for depth. But first DL did not play.
Moreland with two FFs. turned in-out on 2 routes
Josh Woodrum definitey looks like he’s feeling the impact of that unblocked blitzer. Hanging right arm. Not great. #Redskins

Haskins: 8/14, 117 yds, 2 INT
Mayfield 5-6, 77 yds, 1 TD
Moreland: 6 tackles, 3 passes defended, 2 FF's
Deion Harris with a great job reading the slant, but can't seal the deal securing the interception. Probably could've taken it to the house. Would've been big for Harris, who has had a tough camp #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 9, 2019
Deion Harris gives up a TD while giving up a PI call after dropping a pick. Tough drive for the undrafted rookie. 24-10, Browns with 4:19 left on the clock.

Blitzes have given Dwayne Haskins some issues throughout training camp and the Browns sacked him on one late in the third quarter. During camp, there are times when a blitz would have resulted in a sack, but the play is allowed to carry through -- and... https://t.co/4mOOotOcXH
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 9, 2019
This sack is on Haskins. Line is sliding right, RB picks up the Mike, but Haskins has to know that 2 from the RB side makes him hot. Holds on for too long, needs to throw hot or throw it away. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/8Y8UZBExIH

The incompletion does not mean nearly as much to me as Haskins' ability to avoid pressure and deliver a spot-on throw on the run. Really impressive.

I said at camp coaches were higher on Kidsy than fans have been. Time to wake up.

This is a good drive for the #Redskins. Getting to see Haskins go through the pre-snap process, break the huddle on time and get plenty of time at the line. Not rushing. Good process.

It's also clear that Dwayne Haskins is not a statue in the pocket. But that was also clear late last season with Ohio State when he started to run more. Haskins scrambled on one carry for nine yards and another good scramble was nullified by a penalty.... https://t.co/LlrQT0uxxo

Another flash from McKinzy. only a 2-man rush, but shows his burst and bend as he turns the corner to pressure the QB. Watch how low he's able to get as he turns the corner. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/ScrngrjGuk

And @JacobCamenker's favorite undrafted free agent, Ryan Bee, gets his first sack of the preseason on the end-of-half Hail Mary. The #Redskins trail 17-7 at the half but they'll get the ball to start the second half.
— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) August 9, 2019
Cassanova McKinzy with initial pressure. Ryan Anderson somehow missed that sack. Ryan Bee happy to clean up
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) August 9, 2019
With all of the "preseason" disclaimers understood, my 1st impression of Dwayne Haskins as a pro.....impressed. A couple of bad plays/throws yes but several examples of natural pocket presence to go with a big-time arm and good anticipation. #Redskins
— Kevin Sheehan (@kevinsheehanDC) August 9, 2019
Late in the spring, coach Jay Gruden said Dwayne Haskins makes some throws that cause them to go, 'wow.' And then he makes throws that are way off. That's been evident in his first preseason action. At times in camp Haskins has sailed throws and that's... https://t.co/m1n9ZWUyqS
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 9, 2019
Before the INT, Haskins had a nice conversion on 3rd down. Changed the protection to account for a DB blitz which are common from double A gap looks. Then fires into a tight window on the crosser for a first down. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/paTSHBYYJR
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 9, 2019
Like three starters played tonight. You haven't even watched the actual team yet.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 9, 2019
There are no bonus points for pessimism. https://t.co/gmkgcyEfUj
I will leave this game feeling how I felt coming into it. Dwayne Haskins' physical tools are obvious and elite. A couple of stellar throws.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 9, 2019
He's a project and the #Redskins need to be patient with him. Looks raw. He should. Not far removed from playing against St. Alban's.
Second INT from Haskins. Was looking for his TE up the seam. Threw it like he expect the TE to stay up the seam while the TE bent it back inside having been forced wider. Either way, overthrown and an easy INT. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/PMdpm57TCH

I know Darvin Kidsy fumbled earlier, but he's had a tremendous half. 4 catches for 80 yards. A couple of high-difficulty catches. No receiver has had a better night for the #Redskins.

Haskins second drive starts with a pick 6. I'd guess he knew it was man and assumed he'd get the pick on the LB, but the LB did a good job working under the slant and staying on top of the RB wheel. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/JEdHd7ft7W
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 9, 2019
Haskins looks like a rookie with upside. Great plays and throws one moment... a pick-six the next. He'll keep developing, but there will be some growing pains. #WASvsCLE

A couple of nice plays from safety Jeremy Reaves on that drive for the #Redskins. Nearly intercepts a deep-ball to Antonio Callaway. Then, tackles Pharaoh Brown to stop him short of a first down. Notable given the team's uncertain depth at safety.
— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) August 9, 2019
Jeremy Reaves with a nice set of plays on this drive. Gets pass breakup on that deep ball, and then wraps up the receiver not letting him get a whiff of the first down marker. He's looked impressive getting after the ball. Not tentative at all #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 9, 2019
Cassanova McKinzy bends the edge again. Gets too low for LT get get any position on him. Good job by Reaves to wrap up and not give up the first down #Redskins
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) August 9, 2019
Haskins second big throw was a C2 hole shot. Fit it in between the corner and safety. Haven't seen too many Skins QBs hit that shot in recent years pic.twitter.com/JKz4dekVVu

After watching Dwayne Haskins look shaky in training camp, he fires a beautiful 32-yard pass between two defenders to Darvin Kidsey that ultimately resulted in a Kidsey fumble. But the pass was fantastic.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 8, 2019
The #Browns got a fourth-rounder that can become a third rounder for Duke Johnson. If it does become a third, I believe it will be the highest RB compensation since Trent Richardson went for a first.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 8, 2019
Easier for the Browns to do since Duke was dirt cheap this year (only $1.8M if they sat him all year) than a team like the Steelers could do with a very high priced player.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) August 8, 2019
