The Washington Redskins seem confident that rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins can lead them to a win this Sunday against the New York Jets.
Though he has seen just eight quarters of live-action in the regular season, the coaching staff in Washington has been propping up Haskins constantly over the last two weeks — as they should — repeatedly saying that they feel he has shown improvement and growth throughout the bye week, and that his poise is starting to show itself in the offense.
When speaking to the media on Friday afternoon, offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell uttered the same message that we’ve been hearing for the last several days; one of optimism and hope for the Redskins offense.
It’s an easy thing to say, but a much harder plan to execute. Though the Redskins have a decent chance to come out on top for just the second time this season, they will have to see a major step forward from Haskins in doing so. Will it happen?
The coaches sure seem to think so.
