The Redskins secondary continues to impress at minicamp

The Washington Redskins’ secondary is giving rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins a rude welcoming to the NFL.

For the third straight day, Haskins has been picked off in minicamp multiple times, several of which reportedly would have gone for six the other way had the play not been blown dead. You could chalk these up as rookie mistakes and an expected growth period, but beat reporters in attendance seem to be cawing the same sentiment: the Washington defense is showing out.

Jimmy Moreland strikes again with another would be pick-six and then Josh Norman strikes on the very next play. #Redskins

Speaking of Jimmy Moreland, he just took a pass from Cam Sims’ hands for ANOTHER interception. That’s Moreland’s first pick of minicamp and at least his 5th of the offseason program. Dwayne Haskins was the quarterback, BTW. #Redskins

Adding to the Jimmy Moreland legend, he steals a pass from Cam Sims’s hands on a pass at the goal line.

And right after my last tweet about Sims & McLaurin, Josh Norman picks off a Dwayne Haskins throw to McLaurin. Figures lol #Redskins

After the Norman pick, Gruden told the side judge to drop a flag just so he could mess with Josh after he ran the 100-yards to make it a pick 6. (Also Norman might have been OB anyway)

Obviously, it is not great to see Haskins making mistakes on offense, but there has got to be some encouragement for the defense, which continues to make big plays. Should they be able to keep up that level of intensity, the secondary will have their rookie QB ready for whatever he sees come the regular season.
