It was only a matter of time before Dwayne Haskins and Chase Roullier got on the same page and turned a proverbial corner.
Things haven’t gone smoothly for Haskins yet as an NFL starter, which is to be expected for a rookie trying to learn on the fly after two different head coaches took different approaches to whether or not he should play at all.
One of the elements impacting Haskins? His rapport with center Chase Roullier, According to interim coach Bill Callahan, that’s only getting better as the season continues, which is good news for the whole offense.
From Ryan Fowler of the team’s official site:
Callahan to the podium.
Said Haskins' rapport with center Chase Roullier has improved rapidly.

Call it one more step in the right direction for Haskins, even if they are baby steps at this point.
Given Roullier’s level of play and importance, this is something the Redskins would like to see continuing to sit on an upswing for the rest of the season — the two figure to play together for a long time.
