Cards postgame

RR on Haskins "He has to get in rhythm early on, he can't miss the easy throws"

"It's on all of us to get going"

Final thought on DH

Haskins' average time to throw is 2.15 seconds. Last in the NFL.

He is under pressure on 35.1% of his dropbacks, 3rd most.

The receiving core isn't helping out either. Terry seems to be the only receiver getting open and the TE group is arguably the worst in the NFL.

Thanks for posting grades and nuggets like this.

yes i am . . . sometimes you can tell a turd is a turd pretty quickly

I could give you numbers on plenty of QBs who didn't play great in their first 9 starts that ended up being stars, but obviously you have your mind made up. Not saying DH is going to be a star, but I'd give him a full season.

2 moves I would make this week:

Move Apke out the line up. He doesn’t not have the instincts for the safety position and with such a strong unit he is too much of a liability. At the minimum he must keep guys in front of him, he can’t do that. He is a special teamer, not a starter.

Insert Charles if he looks healthy and ready at Tackle. Now with Schreff down, I don’t we have any other other but to play Wes Martin

Josh Rosen looked far better in his first 9 games behind at least as bad of an offensive line and the Cards canned his ass (while the skins fans wanted to bring him in) . . . Haskins has looked worse (in these last two games) than any QB i ever remember . . . ever!

You must not have watched a lot of football lol

He looked worse in his first two starts last year. A lot worse.

Right guard Brandon Scherff will miss a few weeks with a knee injury, Washington head coach Ron Rivera told local media on Monday, but the prognosis is a lot better than originally thought.

"We got some good news on him. It's positive," Rivera said. "He's going to miss a couple of weeks, but it was all positive. We'll go from there."

CB's - I actually like how they've played. They're competing and Fuller hasn't played yet. I'd re-sign/extend Fabian. I'd add a guy here in the top 3 rounds.
S - Bottom 5 tandem in the NFL. We're stuck with Collins at SS. We need to add a stud at FS by any means possible. Including up to a 1st or 2nd round pick if needed.
LB's - KPL looked nice yesterday. We still need another stud here. KPL, Holcomb, Bostic, new addition can work.
DL - Can't be much better here.

WR's - We have a superstar and solid slot guy. Need a bonafide # 2. Need to bring someone in via draft or FA.
TE's - This unit needs a massive overhaul. Thomas is a # 2 type TE. Need 2 guys here.
OL - Absolute fucking trash. I don't respect them as men. Scherff went out and we played better. He can walk. Moses has been our best guy and he's been mediocre. I'd probably keep him. And I like Charles. I'd replace LG, C, RG if possible. The money saved on BS and a draft pick or 2 should make this possible.
RB's - I like Gibson and McKissic. Think we need another guy here that can handle multiple carries.
QB - Man this one kills me. I say you have to keep starting Haskins until at least midseason. But I'm done making excuses for him. He needs to improve drastically with the basics.

^^ positive play by the O line on Gibsons 11 yard TD run. Wes martin comes over from RG to seal the lane, Moses locks up the LB nicely, Gibson with a strong finish and nose for the TD for his first TD of his career.

If I remember correctly wasn't a knock on Cousins that he held the ball too long and played too safe. It was thought to be because Gruden preached ball protection to the point it affected his performance. Maybe Haskins has the same issue of trying to protect the ball too much. It seems when there is traffic around the WR he tends to throw it too high. When the WR has someone tight on him the ball is to low and away from the WR. Just a guess.
