He did. Seems to read blitzes and pre snaps very well which is a huge attribute for any NFL qb yet alone a rookie. Missed a few passes but that should come. Seems very intelligent also from his presnaps and interview. Happy we drafted him for our future qb.

He's as smart as it gets for reading a defense, it's actually his greatest attribute

I did love seeing him identify the blitz and communicate the protection on the TD throw to Davis. The line didn't really pick it up well, despite knowing it was coming, thanks to Haskins. But he saw it, recognized it, communicated it, and trusted his line to make the block. He then stood in there understanding he'd get hit and delivered a strike. It showed maturity.

If he were to start Week 1 against Philly I'm still convinced he'd turn the ball over several times. Then again Keenum might, too. That defensive line is good and no matter who it is we'd have to win via the ground game and sound defense.

Maybe it is worth giving Haskins some run against Atlanta's 1s with our starting offense. To at least get a feel for where he is.

I would do that if I was Jay, IMO QB's do not learn better on the bench, they need reps. As far as Philly goes, if we can't protect the ball we will get killed

That is quite the combination with his cannon attached to his body and how big he is. Love his confidence also and the fact that he came from a big time program where he excelled in big games. I prefer big qbs for numerous reasons in this league. Haskins is gonna be the man in DC ultimately!
