27. New York Giants, Dwayne Haskins Injury & the Future of this Team

Offseason Champions - Washington Redskins

It was a Giant Win for the Redskins in the race to potentially draft Chase Young… but as for the regular season, it was just another L. With this weeks loss to the New York Giants, the Redskins season record is now an abysmal 3-12… The real headline of the game was another injury to Dwayne Haskins, after playing exceptionally well in the first half, Haskins was tackled from behind (extremely low) and left the game, he walked off the field and headed to the tunnel before getting loaded onto a cart and taken for x-rays… although he did come back to the side line he would not finish the game, leaving Case Keenum to lead the stable of Redskins rookie receivers…It was one of the best played games from this offense all season, unfortunately the defense again was overwhelmed and they underperformed. Despite the D’s poor play the game was competitive, close throughout and came down to overtime. Ultimately Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley proved to be too much of a challenge and the Giants won on the only drive of overtime, beating the Redskins 41-35… In Episode Twenty-Seven, I cover the good, the bad and the ugly of the Redskins fifteenth regular season game of the 2019 regular season against the New York Giants… I provide an overview of the game, Haskins great start, his subsequent injury and all of the drama that arose from that situation, the continued defensive struggles and how a complete overhaul of the coaching staff, scheme and play calling is required if the team will ever be successful with the talent that they have on that side of the ball… I take a deep dive into the youth movement of the team, I take a look at what the future could look like for the young talent on this team and I share my optimism with the players that we have under contract for next season… I take a brief minute discussing the ongoing saga that is "the Bruce Allen Firing Watch" and how no matter how much news is reported, nothing looks to be changing at the moment… I close the Podcast with a look at the final game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys and all that is at stake for them… As always, enjoy my unsolicited and unrealistically optimistic opinions on all things Washington Redskins in this Episode covering the 2019 Week Sixteen Loss to the New York Giants… If you are enjoying the Podcast (and I hope that you are), please subscribe, leave a rating or review and tell a friend, it really helps to reach a wider audience and I would be very grateful… if you don't already, please follow me on Twitter @HTTRChamps and as always, #HTTR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/offseasonchampions/message
