Kyle Allen gives Dwayne Haskins credit for picking up new offense quickly
While quarterback Dwayne Haskins had a tough time in his rookie season picking up the new system in Washington and acclimating to the NFL, things weren’t supposed to get much easier for the passer as he entered year two. Though he had a bit of experience under his belt, and he was able to traverse through an unusual offseason exceptionally well, getting into the best shape of his life, the challenge of learning yet another new system, and adapting to another new coaching staff loomed with training camp.
Thus far, Haskins has done extremely well, particularly when it comes to getting up to speed on the new scheme under OC Scott Turner. QB Kyle Allen, who was brought to Washington from Carolina to help fill in the gaps should Haskins need time to adjust, credited the QB1 in Washington on Monday with his ability to learn quickly.
Allen said Haskins is a great player and it's been fun to be out there with him. He said Haskins has picked up the system quickly.

It was a common question over the offseason as to whether or not Allen would end up being the starting QB in Week 1 of the season, giving Haskins some time to better grasp the offense. So far, though, it seems that Haskins is doing just fine, and you can use a Sharpie to jot his name down on the QB1 line of the depth chart.
