Dwayne Haskins diagrams plays with Steve Mariucci - ( New Window )

Haskins does very good whiteboard work.. mental processing is more important than how big your arm is or how fast you run.

Thanks for sharing this.

Haskins is a really bright kid. I think he'd absolutely love being a Giant - and I'd be quite happy if he landed here.

Hey Eric. We had a great dinner last night with DH. We think it's going to work out where we take him. Would you mind posting positive links about DH so we can get the base excited? I want to make sure most of the base is on board. Thanks - JM.

Right. So if we see a statement from Tisch that reads, "...Haskins had great table manners and he was brought up very well...", then that's a signal that Haskins is off the board... ;)
Nice kid, smart kid  
VinegarPeppers : 3/20/2019 11:31 am : link
I hope he's successful wherever he goes...especially since I know he's t going to Philly.

I don't really want a QB at #6 and don't want to spend both first rounders to move up.

Get me pass rush. I would consider a QB with a later pick. Maybe we luck out.
He's a true dropback, cerebral QB.  
Heisenberg : 3/20/2019 11:33 am : link

George from PA : 3/20/2019 11:33 am : link
And as much of a statute....

My gut is telling me that the next generation of QBs will need to be able to do some damage with their feet.

Let me guess...You want Murray?


No, I'm not interested in any QB at #6 or #17.

However, if gun to the head and QB is the route, I'd rather take Murray over Haskins. I really have suspicions over Haskins.

Murray's height and size is a major, major concern but he's so dynamic that I think he has a chance to work.

But, again, I would rather focus elsewhere in round one.

Later round QB target for me - Finley.

I knew you'd think that.

On a serious note, the thing that intrigues me the most about Haskins is his football intelligence. This guy has "it."

I hope people caught what Mariucci tried to do. He drew up the play, but then distracted him with the small talk, then came back and asked him to repeat the chalkboard stuff. And he didn't miss anything. This kid is 21 years old!
Eric  
ryanmkeane : 3/20/2019 12:00 pm : link
the question remains is Gettleman OK with waiting on defense for the draft if we go Haskins at 6. Then, we lose out on the top tier guys. 17 and 37 for the defense (or perhaps OL) isn't a bad fall back plan.

Yup. I caught that as well. Side tracked him on purpose a little bit to see if he was paying attention to the board or the small talk.

Haskins knows his shit.
I think the best comparison  
ryanmkeane : 3/20/2019 12:01 pm : link
for Haskins is Goff. Goff doesn't have great mobility, but his arm talent and smarts are off the charts.

732NYG : 3/20/2019 12:02 pm : link
getting reads from the sidelines early in the season, he didn’t later and made adjustments on his own as the season progressed. I’d be happy with Haskins at 6, and I think the issues people take up with him are mostly untrue beyond his lack of running ability.

Where is the shot? I was merely point out the segment by Mooch is something any QB could easily prepare for b/c he's been doing it for a while now.

Sort of a knock-off of what Gruden did on ESPN.
bw has to keep his

"2018 was a disaster and the Giants will slowly sink into the depths of misery" narrative alive.

Remember, the Giants were not supposed to be able to get a QB worth a damn for years after going with Saquon last year.

Here we are a year later with Rosen most likely available again, Murray/Haskins, and 2020 sitting there which is probably the best class out of 18/19/20.

Guys still come on the show and perform poorly in both cases. Others perform well. You can't take awy too much but as fans it's another small opiece of the opinion puzzle. Haskins handled himself well and dispalyed gis football smarts. As he has so far in every circumstance I've been able to acquire video of.

He's having a veryy good Draft prep 'season'.

Even if you want to believe he was given all of this information beforehand and was prepared for it - it still isn't easy to do in detail like that. I know I'd probably miss a couple details even if I knew he was going to ask me to do the same thing.

Nothing has led me to believe that he isn't a bright QB with a high football IQ. He's a student of the game and he is a really smart kid. He will put the work in and he has a legitimate NFL arm.

There are things I need to see him improve upon and work at - but that's what QB prospects are. Andrew Luck's aren't in drafts every year. More often than not, you're looking at guys with particular talent bases and flaws and have to make the determination as to how many flaws are coachable, how likely they are to ascend, what they likely won't improve upon, etc.

Virtually any QB we take at this point unless we're waiting for Trevor Lawrence is going to come with things the QB will need to work on and questions that need to be answered as he embarks upon his NFL journey. So, we can do that with anyone.

To me, Haskins has the most important stuff. The stuff that coaching isn't going to fix. The rest can be improved on.
Just to be clear...  
bw in dc : 3/20/2019 12:45 pm : link
I'm not saying or suggesting anything that questions Haskins's intellect. I'm raising the point that he likely knew how the session works and prepared accordingly. So the element of surprise isn't is dramatic as the clip would suggest...

Great post. Agreed on all points. Footwork isnt a guarantee to improve but it usually does if a guy wants to work at it. But even then he still is very accurate with his footwork being less than perfect (Darnold was kind of this way too)

arcarsenal : 3/20/2019 12:53 pm : link
Prep work is a big deal for a QB.

I don't really care what he knew or didn't - I think there's plenty of evidence out there that Haskins is a smart football player who understands the game.

Murray doesn't strike me the same way.

Murray is a dynamite football player and has a higher ceiling than Haskins does - but there are going to be times where your athleticism can only carry you so far.

Haskins has it between the ears. Murray doesn't. I do think that matters.

So your contention is that not only did Haskins agree to go on the segment and knew what was coming in a general sense, but that Mariucci (or someone on the production team) actually gave him the exact scenarios? Hope you've got some proof of that.

Well, if this is your logic - I hope you aren't waiting for Tua because I can make the same argument for Alabama QB's.

AJ McCarron is going to be a career backup. Guys like Coker and Sims never made it.

How many PSU RB's dominated before Saquon Barkley? Were you worried about him because of that?

You HAVE to separate the player - otherwise you'll miss on a lot of really good ones.

Where did you read that? I heard the exact opposite. Ohio State had to tweak their offense to him as the season went on as he was doing more for that team than any QB they had before like calling out the protections and seeing the defense very well.

No denying Haskins is a good kid, but idk...


Webb's passing pales in comparison to Haskins.

a likable guy. I don't know if even the creators of this video intended for anything else. This is a fairly simple play and doesn't really take into account what defense Denver was in, etc.



Honestly, I love Haskins but it would be more of a red flag he couldn't pick that up. I mean I watched it an hour ago and I still can recall the play. Not the terminology, but the actual play.



That's the point. He remembered the actual terminology. He remembered everything. I seriously doubt any of us would have been able to do that.


It seems difficult to a layman, but when you play QB that type of terminology becomes second language.
And your right some guys can't. That is why its a red flag to me

if he couldn't. Your QB generally needs above average IQ. There are notable exceptions to this rule, but it isn't the norm. Generally the exceptions cruise on their superior athletic ability or arm talent.

and the kid looked pretty damn good. Moved better than the combine I thought.

And he talks the part. Says all the right things. Good personality to lead a franchise.

I'm warming to the idea of Haskins at 6. Especially if he doesn't see the field for a year.

Of course he's prepped for the segment and ready for the camera. That's a given -- and yet we've seen plenty of guys come off poorly in similar gimmicks.

The impressive part is retaining, relaying, and understanding naturally. The less the mind commands of the brain, the more it can steer the body.

It's a good exercise -- as far as I know the Giants will still be giving the quarterbacks the plays before the games start -- so I'm not worried if he was prepped.
