I talked to Washington team president Bruce Allen about the Gruden firing. "We HAD to fire Jay," he said. "The team wasn't responding." As for the permanent replacement? "Let's just say we've heard from every agent. They found our phone number." #TNFonPrime

From our TNF pregame show: The #Redskins will consider interim Bill Callahan for their head-coaching job, and OC Kevin O'Connell may get a look, too. Expect Washington to get to December, then begin looking at other candidates. pic.twitter.com/mNZom91TUe

Redskins interim coach Bill Callahan said he's not sure yet who will start at quarterback vs. Buffalo. He said if Case Keenum is healthy he will start. If Keenum can't play because of the concussion then rookie Dwayne Haskins would start and Colt McCoy... https://t.co/eT5uHg6ttC

Massive round of applause for Adrian Peterson during the 2 minute warning as the scoreboard shows that he moved into 6th place on the all-time rushing list earlier.

He can't help but smiling. Really, genuinely cool moment.

Also jumps John Riggins (2,916 carries) for 13th on NFL's all-time list.
And with this run @AdrianPeterson is now 6th on the All-time career rushing yards list! Congrats, AP!@Redskins | #HTTR

Then on 3rd down there's a ton of confusion. Quinn clearly doesn't know what he's meant to be doing as he moves to the left. Then Haskins makes a call with 4 seconds left on the clock. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/c5pFbikfiJ
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 25, 2019
You would have to re-teach the entire offense new play calls. It's not just about the QB.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 25, 2019
The problem is this system is wordy. One word wrong screws everything up. Bet that's what happened on that last play. Got one word out of order and suddenly three guys are out of place. https://t.co/q7lrmbWZlp
Haskins INT - Had McLaurin over the middle, sailed his throw. Aikman on commentary pointed to Haskins' low elbow which has a tendency to cause it to sail. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/Ci9q2J88FN

Dwayne Haskins can’t play is all I’m seeing. Look, I remember hearing last year Lamar Jackson wasn’t an NFL QB. I saw #3 overall pick Sam Darnold struggle. Same for Daniel Jones who was the #6 overall pick this year. These players teams have put in packages for their strengths.
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) October 25, 2019
Here's what I know. I cannot assess anything about Dwayne Haskin's future based on two unexpected 2nd half stints with no prep the week before. And neither can anyone else.
— BGObsession.com (@BGObsession) October 25, 2019
Friendly reminder that you should not, under any circumstances, make judgements about Haskins' future as the #Redskins franchise QB based on this year.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) October 25, 2019
The first person I see to say Washington should look at a QB in the 2020 draft is catching hands.
I'm worried about Dwayne Haskins. We know he isn't ready and the team's said as often as possible for months he needs time. But he seems way more raw than a No. 15 pick should be. Hopeful for future but he has yet to show any flash that 1st rounders normally provide. #Redskins
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 25, 2019
It’s a suckers choice. ‘Win now’ or ‘sit him’ aren’t the only options. Play the young man and know you’re going to take your lumps as he learns.
— BGObsession.com (@BGObsession) October 26, 2019
Echoing @MWharam7 thoughts on Haskins. There needs to be a decision made in Ashburn this weekend about Haskins. Either he is QB1 starting now (or starting after the bye), or he needs to be redshirted until 2020. Spot duty isn’t helping him, it’s only making things worse.
— FGB (@FiftyGutBlog) October 25, 2019
Trey Quinn never got the play on 3rd down and ended up getting an illegal formation called against him. He went up and said something to Haskins afterward. That is the procedural stuff the team is concerned with.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 25, 2019
Sorry guys, but Haskins looks very bad. Any rookie QB can succeed with the right package. Gardener Minshew is winning games!!! Haskins’ performance thus far is not just inexperience...it’s quite possible that this league is over his head. And I don’t want that. #Redskins

Remember when there was a "conspiracy" that Gruden didn't like Haskins and didn't start him because of problems with the front office?
— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) October 25, 2019
I think it's clear that Haskins isn't ready yet and Gruden knew that. Was trying to protect him. So the Gruden blame was unfounded. #Redskins
Spent a few minutes with Haskins after the podium session.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 25, 2019
That kid wants it so bad. He's starting to figure out how to get there. It's gonna take time. It's so easy to believe in him though if you spend time with him, which is why so many veterans do.
While #Redskins have Alex recovering, Case & Colt on road to nowhere & #DwayneHaskins seemingly as unprepared as can be, the greedy & stat-stuffing ex-#Skins QB just went 23-of-26 for 285 yards & is killing it. Should still be here, & that he isn't remains Brucifer's No. 1 sin.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) October 25, 2019
Since Kirk Cousins left:
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 25, 2019
- Traded 3rd rounder & stud young CB for Alex Smith
- Smith broke leg. Now unusable $40M cap hit
- Used 1st RD pick on QB who looks like a project
- Traded for journeyman (Keenum) who has struggled
Gone 8-16 in 24 games
You can tell that the game is moving at a million miles per hour for Dwayne Haskins right now. Experience is the greatest teacher for young QBs and the #Redskins should play him to let him work through his mental flaws.

Redskins fans can hype up Kevin O’Connell as much as they want but this offense hasn’t scored a touchdown in a loooooong time.
— Sean Kennedy (@EatSleepRedskin) October 25, 2019
No moral victories, but the #Redskins played hard. When/if this team gets a top notch coaching staff, they will win games. Can't win if you don't throw deep. Threw deep one time and got an interference call. O'Connell isn't the answer. The players deserve better! #HTTR

He's been called for an ungodly amount of penalties this year. I know that's been worrisome to some in the org. Why is he getting worse in that dept?
Washington’s last game took 2:36, the fastest NFL game since ’09. Tonight was 2:41. It’s as if Callahan is running out the clock on the season.

The Redskins defense has played really well for two straight weeks. This looks more like the operation they were supposed to be and were last year. Not sure what that means but is is something.

My takeaways last night:
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 25, 2019
-Cousins is very good but not great
-Injuries are hurting the Redskins secondary
-Haskins isn't ready
-AP is good but can't carry the team solo
I don't think any of that is even remotely new.

I can't speak for the optics, but I don't think it's scapegoating. They didn't like Brown's statements and probably weren't pleased with his play also. They have Mills back and Darby about ready. So Scandrick is expendable. They also need to add DTs to the roster
