Start Dwayne Haskins Week 1? #Redskins
Jay Gruden has been consistent on the Dwyane Haskins issue. I've heard him say, "he has to be able to protect himself", meaning he has to be able to recognize blitzes, slide protections, change snap counts, etc. #Redskins #HTTR #skins

With Colt McCoy potentially unavailable for Week-1, there's a good chance we could see Dwayne Haskins sooner than we're anticipating. He may be one play away from the field on the season-opening drive if McCoy can't go. Crazy how plans go out window.

Blake Hance shoutout. Moving really well in space leading the charge on this screen. In a perfect world you'd like to see him finish the block but it's still a nice rep. Think Hance is a perfect candidate for the practice squad. pic.twitter.com/CinDd3aROB

I think a lot of people are sleeping on @prichiejr , @Redskins fans included. Yes, thus far he has NOT lived up to his $8M/yr contract, BUT the man played the whole year with a SEVERELY injured shoulder & still made plays. He’s my breakout candidate for this year. #HTTR

Not how I view it. From what I've seen these past 2 games, Martin is capable. It's more Flowers playing good enough to not warrant losing the starting spot. https://t.co/IhKFfZtEfe

Gruden to the podium:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 19, 2019
He says Richardson is still up in the air for Thursday. Guice is still being taken day by day. Awaiting the final green light for games.
Jay Gruden said RB Derrius Guice still hasn’t been cleared for full contact but he said he should be OK soon. “Just waiting for the green light,” Gruden said.
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 19, 2019
Note after a day at the #Redskins: The tentative plan is for RB Derrius Guice (knee surgeries) to get some work in the preseason game vs the #Falcons, I’m told. It’ll likely be his only action of the preseason but getting some contact before the regular season would be important.

Per Pro Football Reference,
Gruden: 88 players in 5 seasons
Shanahan: 44 players in 4 seasons
Don't know what it means, but numbers are staggering nonetheless.

Ha. The Redskins practice in the rain too. Believe me; I've been saturated on those sidelines way too often sitting in the rain watching practice.

Only time they cancel is if there's lightning in the area.
The saddest aspect of all this is that this team is on the cusp of turning around 20 years of mostly misery. I want Williams to see it through and be a part of it. https://t.co/0wap9cl6CM

— NFL Football Operations (@NFLFootballOps) August 19, 2019
That rated higher than clubs with a 100-yard receiver or a 300-yard passer.

Source: #Raiders WR Antonio Briwn has filed another grievance against the NFL, arguing that he should be afforded the same right provided to other NFL players to have a 1-year grace period to phase out his helmet in 2019 season. He claims the NFL is arbitrarily applying rules.

Closest I can even think of was Haynesworth in his split with Washington where he basically refused to play, but that was more like Brown with the Steelers at the end. This is pretty out there.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) August 19, 2019
Contracts generally have outs in the event a player is suspended, refuses to report, leaves the team, etc...My assumption is eventually they would find a way to void it and move on penalty free
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) August 19, 2019
Its not even a signing bonus. They guaranteed workout bonuses so $500,000 of that is for 2020

There are nearly 2,900 players on the combined 32 @NFL rosters right now. Only one player is refusing to participate because he doesn’t like his helmet.

49ers LT Joe Staley had worn the same helmet as AB since 2003, with a very short unsuccessful switch in 2012, and said he loved the helmet and to a degree understands why AB doesn’t want to switch. Staley wasnt happy, but understood and did switch to another helmet. pic.twitter.com/J2c9N2cmPA

Williamson suffered a torn ACL last in the first half.
#Vikings cornerback Holton Hill has been ejected after hitting Seahawks QB Paxton Lynch in the head on a scramble. Crowd applauds as Lynch gets up and walks off under his own power. Bad penalty by a player already needing to earn credibility.

So who’s this year’s national champ?
1 Clemson
2 Alabama
3 Georgia
4 Oklahoma
5 Ohio St
6 LSU
7 Michigan
Every sports team should note how @usabasketball handles the media. They put 30 mins on the clock, and made everyone - coaches and players - available. We could gather in a scrum, or grab guys for one-on-ones. We’re all adults. We get the story; they get exposure. Much respect.
