A video has surfaced online that shows Washington Redskins’ rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins trying to reason with his offensive line in the second half of a 34-17 loss to the New York Jets, and having little success.
“What can I do to help you?” Haskins repeatedly ask the front-five, who seemed to barely be paying attention. At this point in the game, the Redskins were down by at least three possessions to one of the worst teams in the NFL, at home, in a stadium that was dangerously close to being closer to empty than full. It’s all the worse when you consider that Washington had two weeks to prepare for this game after having a bye in Week 10, and it made no difference.
Haskins’ message didn’t seem to reach the big men up front, as he was sacked six times in the loss. The offense scored a couple of touchdowns late in the game, but it wasn’t enough to cover up the three-quarters of putrid ineptitude that precluded it.
This is definitely a tough look for a team that’s used to tough looks.
