It’s safe to say that the Carolina Panthers are going to be focused on trying to shut down rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin when they face off against the Washington Redskins this weekend.
After McLaurin proved how good he really is last week by going toe-to-toe with Lions’ corner Darius Slay, one of the best CBs in the NFL, the league is now taking notice, and attempting to scheme McLaurin out of the Redskins’ gameplan.
Unfortunately for Washington, the easiest way to nullify McLaurin is to rattle rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, which has proven to be fairly easy to do. Haskins completed less than half of his pass attempts last week, and his inability to complete a couple of long-balls to the rookie WR severely hindered Washington’s offensive production.
However, the Redskins now know that they have half of the puzzle figured out with McLaurin, and all they need to do is get Haskins comfortable enough to find him downfield. If they can put those two things together, then that combination can definitely be an explosion waiting to happen.
