On Haskins 18 yard sack loss, he said Haskins has to check down or throw it away.

90% of the questions were repeative in nature about his cancer treatment. No one asked about Haskins throwing it 10 yards short of the goal line on 4th and goal.

He was asked that by London Fletcher (maybe not in the presser), his answer (21:50 of Sheehan's Pod's Hour 2):

"Honestly my mindset at this point was situational awareness, I wanted to see what he was gonna do, and how he was gonna react. I truly did. Scott asked me and I said "no let see how he handles it" and Scotty told him "hey you gotta put this ball into the endzone or in position to go into the endzone" ... said it was part of the "maturation process".

As Sheehan said, this make NO sense, zero : You're going to test his situational awareness in game rather than at practice... and you're going to give him the answer before the test ?

I'm starting to get the feeling Rivera is putting Haskins on the spot. He's making him look bad so at some point he can go to the owner and say "look, I know you want him to play, but look how bad he is, I can't do it with him"...
