I haven’t seen much reaction to the Callahan quote about Haskins. "Obviously, I like Haskins coming in earlier and leaving later, but does that lend credence to the 'rumors' that wasn't the case until now? That's not something Bill had to make mention of but did." "I think you’re reaching here." "Is it looking like Haskins didn't care much for his chances under Gruden? " "Definitely smells that way...to the point that makes you wonder if Bill was the one leaking that info in the first place." "I’ll tell ya what... Callahan is seemingly pretty ****ing smart. Major step or not, by telling all of us that he basically silences a lot of the talk of “Dwayne must be terrible if he’s not playing” for at least a few weeks." "Sounds like he’s patting himself between the pack pockets. Cringe-worthy." "Savvy vet coach move for sure. That’s the first thing I thought." "So is Colt hurt or is Callahan pretty much turning the page on him as a QB? Case is hurt I take it?" "just wondering how Haskins went from a rookie that isn't ready to the official #2 QB in such a quick time" The reactions above...whether or not that counts as "much", are they from watching the presser or from reading the tweets?

In general, he’s just a cringy dude What gives you that impression Coach? He's come across to me as personable and erudite every time he's spoken over the last week and a half. I've been really impressed with his leadership in front of the camera. I got the impression he's a solid, stand-up dude who just tells it like it is. Shrugs. Hail.

Skinsinparadise Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Interesting, numbers. Pressure versus clean pocket. One of my contentions about Jones is his struggled to play under pressure in college -- yes he stood tall in the pocket but his play mostly stunk in that context. Though his career is young. It was always easy to see Eli folded under pressure but wow look that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression he's a solid, stand-up dude who just tells it like it is. Shrugs. Hail. Just a read. I think he's a very up front and honest dude with his takes, but he's also very careful/selective in how he words things. Like the Haskins quote. I think he's made some positive strides. But I think Callahan knew what he was doing with the comment regardless. Some of his quotes are really kind of obvious. Like answering a question about Jordan Reed last week he said "over time it will define itself". It's just a fancy way of not answering. Or "my system is about attempts" in the run game. BUT, while I agree some of the stuff he says is cringey... I could envision myself saying similar things. In fact, it's probably a criticism I'd give myself while coaching/talking about my team. It's not about what I think about Callahan. Or what you think of him. Or volsmet. What I respect about Callahan is that he is smart about how he approaches what is best for the team. Doesn't care if he's cringey, he doesn't care if people love him for it, doesn't care about perception. He just cares about his team. I do respect the hell out of that. And I really think this was a smart play by him regardless of how any of us look at him. It's probably the first thing he's done or said that's made me think, "okay. If nothing else, this was a good move to protect the kid. Well done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus those same people say that about QBs who wash out on a constant basis. What they think is their opinion who get it wrong often. Not the ones drafting other than a ridiculous owner taking over. Drew Lock was speculated too. Where did he go? Projected didn't mean squat now did it? Haskins was a mistake pure and simple. But let's let his play do the talking when ever he can get on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was projected in the 1st no matter what. Could he be a bust. Yes, will he who knows. Everyone was ready to name Baker Mayfield the next Brett Favre. How's he doing this year?

Full disclosure, I was never fully sold on Kirk but he was developed effectively by the organization. Though, I would’ve mildly supported him receiving a contract that paid him 8-11% depending on the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that he was getting called out by his star WR for missing him when he was wide open. Cousins can be good but also bad. He isn't great and isn't worth what he's getting paid.

I’m just sharing that there’s recent evidence of the organization developing a QB. It wasn’t an easy process to develop Kirk to point he got to with the Skins, it required swallowing pride, foresight, and patience with Kirk when he struggled for a bit to start. Im just saying this happened. There’s hope the FO can develop Haskins. Recent history says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I think Haskins best course of action is to let others speak for him and continue to improve behind the scenes without saying much. He'll get criticized regardless, but coming off of his "the league messed up" stuff, he may be better off not saying a whole lot. But he feels the need to defend himself, so hey, what are ya gonna do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 That's fine. I just wish he'd pride himself more on his footwork and mechanics. Being able to read a defense does nothing if you can't deliver the ball consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
