LANDOVER Dwayne Haskins Jersey White , Md. (AP)Josh Norman did not mince words when assessing how poorly he and other Washington Redskins defensive backs performed in a 38-30 loss to Case Keenum and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. ”We played like trash in the secondary,” Norman said. ”We really did.” Right from the start, too. On Minnesota’s third offensive play, wideout Stefon Diggs got Norman to bite on an out-and-up route and wound up grabbing a 51-yard pass from Keenum that set up a touchdown. Then, in the third quarter, Norman was beaten by Adam Thielen on a 49-yarder, a play that led to another TD . ”Just didn’t have it today. We really didn’t. We wasn’t on,” Norman said. ”And I don’t know what it was. Something was going around, I guess.” Redskins coach Jay Gruden agreed with that view of things. Gruden lamented big gains given up by Norman and the other starting cornerback, Bashaud Breeland. He also was concerned about the lack of a pass rush: Keenum was not sacked once. All in all, the sort of showing that allows a team that scored 30 points to figure out a way to lose and drop to 4-5 on the season. ”That was one of the worst defensive performances we’ve had since I’ve been here, in the first half. … It was whatever they wanted, basically,” Gruden said. ”They had big plays. They had running plays. They had play-action. They did whatever they wanted.” The NFC North-leading Vikings (7-2) were 8 for 12 on third downs. And they were 5 for 5 in the red zone. In all, Keenum went 21 for 29 for 304 yards and four TDs to four receivers. That includes Thielen , who had eight catches for 166 yards overall Dwayne Haskins Jersey , and Diggs , who caught four balls for 78 yards. ”We couldn’t get a stop on defense,” Gruden said. ”They were very solid across the board. They had us guessing.” One particular stretch really hurt Washington. The Redskins had pulled ahead 17-14 late in the second quarter, when the Vikings put together a 21-point burst in about a five-minute section of game clock bridging halftime to go up 35-17. That made it less harmful to Minnesota when safety D.J. Swearinger intercepted Keenum twice in the second half. While Washington did pull within eight points with less than 1+ minutes left on rookie Nick Rose’s 55-yard field goal, the ensuing onside kick did not go as planned. Rose’s attempt traveled less than 5 yards and rolled out of bounds. And so ended any thoughts of putting together a couple of back-to-back wins against two quality NFC opponents. Washington had been hoping to build on last week’s 17-14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, when the Redskins played superb defense. ”We’ve got seven games left, so we’ll see what we’re going to do with them,” Norman said. ”Right now, we’re back under .500. It seems like we’ve got this roller-coaster right now, where we’re up, down. We’ve just got to get over that mark. And we will do that.” INJURIES Gruden said three players would get MRI exams on Monday: CB DeAngelo Hall (knee sprain), RB Rob Kelley (ankle, knee), LB Will Compton (foot sprain). WR Ryan Grant got a concussion in the first half. The Redskins initially announced he had been cleared to return, then moments later said he was being re-evaluated. — He looks like the guy that Jay Gruden and the Redskins have been looking for"The Redskins will host their three weeks of OTAs on the following days:May 20-21, 23May 28-30June 10-12The Redskins also held their annual rookie minicamp for players selected in the 2019 NFL Draft Wes Martin Jersey , college free agent signings and other invites from May 10-12 at the team’s headquarters. Finally, mandatory minicamp will take place from June 4-6. but they held rookie minicamp earlier this month, allowing Jay Gruden and the rest of the Redskins coaches to see the drafted rookies up close and personal in Redskins helmets for the first time.There was keen interest in every draft pick present, and a lot of attention paid to undrafted free agents and tryout players as well.Following the minicamp, in fact, the Redskins announced the signing of five new players they saw during the minicamp.But, no player drew more attention than the Redskins top draft pick, Dwayne Haskins.Geoff Burke-USA TODAY SportsI’m not sure how much you know about Dwayne Haskins from his days as the quarterback of the Ohio State Buckeyes, but Hogs Haven had him near the top of the list of draft prospects to profile, and took a detailed look at him in January.Dwayne Haskins, QBSchool: Ohio St | Conference: Big TenCollege Experience: Redshirt Sophomore | Age: 21Height / Weight: 6-3 / 220 lbsProjected Draft Status: 1st roundNFL Comparison: Alex SmithCollege StatisticsData courtesy CFB at Sports-Reference.com.Player SummaryPhoto by Jeff Gross/Getty ImagesGrades:How He’d Fit on the RedskinsOf course, Haskins did fall to the Redskins, and they didn’t hesitate to take him.Now, though, fans might wonder about the coach’s plans at quarterback.After all Womens Bryce Love Jersey , the team traded for Case Keenum earlier in the offseason, and he was seen recently as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game.Will Haskins be tapped as the starting quarterback from Week 1, or will Jay lead with experience, putting Keenum, or even Colt McCoy, behind center when the Redskins open up the season at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly?I doubt whether anyone is really sure just yet, but Jay has said that there will be a competition among the rookie and two veterans.Haskins got a head start on Keenum at minicamp, and Jay spoke to the press afterwards, sharing his thoughts on the Redskins’ young signal caller.Based on what he had to say, he was very impressed.Here are eight quotes from Jay Gruden talking about how impressed he was by Dwayne Haskins during the minicamp:OneTwoThreeFourFiveSixSevenEightIt’s hard, in a ten-minute press conference, to be much more positive than that about a playe!Jay clearly loves what he’s seen from Dwayne Haskins so far, and, while there’s a long way to go before the regular season starts, it seems as if Redskin fans have every reason to believe in their new quarterback of the future.
