Ron Rivera Thread

Yesterday Haskins tweeted "Lets get to work #HTTR"

Turner followed today with "Its good to be home. Time to get to work #HTTR"

Thats called mirroring and it is a small thing but using the same language is a simple way of building bridges and relationships.

Def no Cam and no Alex. I think Dan and Ron in getting together to come to skins both have some sorta vision like Haskins will be given the chance to be QB of future.

Scott Turner...if they employ his dad's Air Coryell system in the pass game, Haskins a big QB with a big Arm really fits the mold. You got to push the ball down the field in the 9-8 routes... Haskins kinda reminds me of a Cam, Rivers type thrower.

I think the system fits.

Let's all hope you are right! In a perfect world, Alex is the backup and mentor for Haskins...with a reworked contract.

Didn't know where to put this, but a quick vent about ESPN's Jason Reid.

John Keim recently had Reid on his podcast (https://johnkeimreport.libsyn.com/) to discuss the Rivera hiring.

At the beginning of the interview, Keim gave Reid the opportunity to explain himself to Redskins fan about the perception that he doesn't like the team and that his reporting is biased. Reid proceeded to say that he's only reporting the truth about the team and he doesn't mean to be biased and whatnot.

Then towards the end of the conversation, Reid goes on to basically nitpick everything about Haskins (i.e. his whole body language on the sideline when he was not playing, the whole scene during the Jets game when he's pleading to the o-line, and him not being present for Rivera's presser). :doh: As I hear, I'm thinking to myself: mf'er, this is why Redskins fans don't like your work! :doh:

Everything Reid said was 100% accurate, though. Reid is expressing valid concerns. Yes, Haskins showed improvement later in the year once he FINALLY started to put in the work off the field. Yes, Bruce is gone. Yes, Rivera appears to be a GREAT hire.

But that doesn't mean we should forget all warning flags that are still there with Haskins. He is a HUGE question mark for our franchise. He has all the physical skills and football intelligence you could ever want. But he needs to take a GIANT leap forward in maturity and work ethic this offseason.

I'm thankful for reporters like Reid who are more "emotionally detached" from the franchise. It's not bias. Its objectivity.

John Keim is the reported that you are describing. He's unbiased and pretty much everything he reports is true. There are are also plenty of unbiased reporters that follow the team.

I agree with Reid, Haskins not showing to Rivera's presser means he's not committed! Get rid of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my opinion, we must understand context of any situation before judging anyone for anything. In this case, who knows Haskins already had important plans or gone to vacation before the presser was announced. Let's imagine a scenario - suppose you are Haskins, you are currently on your vacation and you had already paid for everything, and then next day you got news that your new boss will show up at work to meet everyone. Would you cancel rest of your vacation plans, just to meet your new boss that day or will you wait until after you return home from vacation to meet him?

Heck yeah. I am at least grabbing a redeye flight for the meet and greet.

That said, Rivera has the ability to use that moment to set expectations. It is not about where Haskins is, but where he can be led. Can he learn how to be great? Can he learn to be a leader?

That is what excites me because I think the answer to both is a resounding yes!

I can't even believe that this is being discussed. Pointless..

I think Mooby is being sarcastic.
