Gregg Williams’ Jets defense provides a good test for Dwayne Haskins

Just how far along is Dwayne Haskins?

It’s a good question to ask now that the Washington Redskins are going all in around the first-round pick as starter.

And interim coach Bill Callahan kept the perspective fair, per Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan: “He needs the experience. Let’s be frank. We’re at a place we don’t want to be record wise, so let’s give him the opportunity.”

Haskins’ extended shot at developmental time hits a potential big brick wall with the New York Jets and the well-known coordinator Gregg Williams.

Williams’ defense just helped the Jets pick up a win over the Giants while holding Saquon Barkley to one yard on 13 carries.

Callahan is zeroed in on Williams:

Call it a great way to establish a benchmark for Haskins — the Jets won’t hesitate to send constant pressure his way.

While Haskins’ gig as starter might seem secure, now the staff wants to see consistent improvement. Williams and the Jets will provide the test.
