2021 - 2022 Offseason Moves

What was he like in college...did he have a lot of talent? It would seem he had a lot of upside to go #15. That means nothing if he can't attain a maturity level to succeed in the NFL, but was just curious how he was in college

Ike Hilliard is interviewing with Detroit for OC job....if he leaves I wonder if Hines would leave the jets and come back.

If he would get the OC job I believe we would fetch 2 or 3 3rd round compensatory picks (new minority rule). I would love that.

Best case scenario we got a #1 draft choice for peanuts, worst case scenario we have a really immature but talented guy throwing to people on the PS cheap... sorry but Haskins could be a steal.

Bring him in have Tomlin be a role model and a Father figure to him and we might have an answer to QB dirt cheap. The young man has a ton of talent he got a shitty deal in Washington.

I partly agree with you. Partly, because Ron Rivera is a good coach imo so if Haskins couldn't make progress under him that's a knock on Haskins imo. But you're right we have nothing to lose in this case, not even money.

I don't disagree with you Rivera is a good coach. However I read a few articles that he never really gave Haskins much of a shot and Haskins wasn't his pick. Rivera only brought Haskins in as a third option after Smith went down with injury.

Tomlin can bring the young man in sit him down tell him he has a fresh start but also needs to remind him about the Steelers blue collar work ethic and his expectations on being a good team mate and professional.

If Tomlin can get Haskins to realize this is his last real shot in the NFL and Haskins takes advantage of it he could be an absolute steal. Go watch some of his highlight film he has a cannon and is pretty accurate. He is fast and can move the chains. I watched a lot of his games in college and he was a beast.

Taking a chance on him for league minimum is a safe smart deal by the team to light a fire under Mason and make a QB competition for either August or next year if Ben doesn't retire.

No, they said it was likely it was gonna happen. Never officially happend

I kinda hope Canada gets it. We need an OC that can bring life back to the running game and he seems like the best bet to do that.

Watch this highlight clip on Haskins

https://youtu.be/J9cV_D52AVc

One thing the Haskins deal kind of tells me is they might realize the Oline and Dline need some serious attention. Picking up Haskins may allow for some early round picks on those areas. We get a strong Oline that can dominate the line of scrimmage and get a running game going it takes a lot of pressure off young QBs.

Rooney rule...they have to interview at least one minority.

nope. not if he takes an OC job. if they made him head coach then yes.

Quote :

NFL owners adopted a resolution on Tuesday that will compensate teams with draft picks for losing minority staff members to head coaching jobs and other premium positions elsewhere.

It’s another attempt by the league to bolster minority hiring for high-level jobs against the backdrop of a lagging record of diversity by its teams.

The gist of the resolution:

• A team that loses a minority assistant coach who becomes a head coach or loses a personnel executive who becomes a general manager will receive third-round compensatory picks in each of the next two drafts.

• A team that loses two minority staffers to head coach and general manager positions would receive three third-round picks.

Given multiple measures instituted in the name of diversity over many years, why will this resolution – approved unanimously by owners, pending approval from the NFL Players Association -- make a difference for a sustained change in the hiring patterns?

This would be the 2nd minority interview. Jackson to me always looked like he didn't have a clue in the world. This Hamilton guy looks competent at least. Interesting path this has taken...it looked last weekend like Canada was in and position filled. Now it seems they're doing multiple interviews. That's probably the best course of action...maybe figure out someone who is qualified for the job.

watch this,,everything you need to know about haskins ...and more..

what i dont like about this move is it signals the steelers are not going to seriously pursue a replacement for ben. i believe this move indicates ben will be back for one more year. haskins will compete with rudolf and dobbs, mostly dobbs,  for a roster spot not a starting position.

there is no commitment from the steelers , they are throwing him a rope and he will either hang himself and be cut or work his ass off. the only thing the steelers are sacrificing is a camp roster spot.

the guy definitely has the physical and arm talent. they just have to fix his attitude and playbook understanding.

Quote :

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins visited with the Carolina Panthers first, but he has found a new home elsewhere. He has signed a one-year reserve/future contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a visit Thursday.

The Panthers previously had him in to meet with the team Jan. 11 and offered the quarterback a contract after the meeting,`per a source with direct knowledge of the situation. That meeting took place prior to the team hiring new general manager Scott Fitterer.

However, Haskins opted to go to Pittsburgh instead, and join a quarterback room that, as of now, includes Ben Roethlisberger. The future at quarterback for the Panthers remains unknown with the most established veteran, Teddy Bridgewater, not guaranteed the starting job in 2021.

I believe in 2nd chances. Haskins will need to grow up and smell the roses because compared to playing in DC with almost constant changes in staff playing for us should be easy. Just do your job Dwayne.
Very little risk with a possible upside. As long as he isn't Russell 2.0 everything will be fine.

At Ohio State Haskins was better at going to 2nd and 3rd receivers and had a better arm then Justin Fields, Fields was a better runner. Haskins was an accurate and could drop the long ball in a bucket. l watch a lot of Buckeye games.

l like the signing loads of talent did l mention Haskins has a strong arm and made every throw as a QB at Ohio State my only knock on him he needed to stay at Ohio State another year. I'll give him a pass because it's the Washington the Football team we're talking about.



let me set the mood, the Game, 2018 #4 Michigan vs #10 Ohio State. there's a Michigan LB you might know named Bush.

remember when Ben would get stupid drunk ans try to stick his dick in women that didn't want his dick stuck in them?

what Haskins has done is childs play compared to what young Ben did.

rona not at strip clubs, rona doesn't have any money to pay the cover charge.

Not sure I know of these women you speak of that Ben schtooped that didn't want to be schtooped or why it's relevant. I think the Haskins issue with strippers clinging to him during COVID was the final straw for his organization.  But suggesting Ben's transgressions when he was young is worse than Hanskins', which I'm not sure is true, as a factor into Steelers fans' reaction to Haskins joining the team is a narrow argument. Ben was the young guy on a team with very strong veteran leadership. Did that team need the distraction? No, but they were in a much stronger position than the current team to deal with distractions. This team can't afford additional distractions for next season, regardless of what level of distraction goes down.

I have no problems with the Haskins signing and believe in 2nd chances. The kid is what, 22? Hell, I hope my kids never learn what I was doing at that age. The contract signed suggests the Steelers have communicated their expectations for proper conduct and should minimize the distraction level if he can't behave himself. Onward we march!

character issues aside , because that doesn't necessarily translate to shitty play on the field (see AB ), from what i hear he was never able to grasp the play book to the point that they suspected he had a learning disability.

right, guess you have a short memory...

The two rape accusations—one levied in civil court after an alleged attack at a Lake Tahoe hotel in 2008 and settled in ’12, the other allegedly committed in ’10 and dropped a month later after Georgia prosecutors declined to press charges—will barely be mentioned, if at all. us every day people would be sitting in jail if it weren't for money and Rooney connections.

Ben got lucky being drafted by the Rooney's Steelers, Haskins not so much he got drafted by the train wreck Snyder's Washington the Football Team. l don't think nether coaching staff wanted Haskins, Haskins was drafted by Washington because he was high school friends with snyder's son.

lets see what veteran leadership and a good organization can do for Haskins, what l liked about Haskins was his ball placement on the crossing patters Ohio State ran when he was their QB and they ran a lot of them. which makes me believe Haskins would be a good fit in a Canada offense. also Ohio State defense sucked at giving up big plays so Haskins wasn't out there putting up yardage with a big lead also that year Ohio State run game was a little better then average.

now watch since l wrote this he'll come in and stink up the place. but he does have the arm and field vision to be a good QB.

Matt Canada was Maryland's headcoach this game.
