The Washington Redskins won a game for the second time this season over the weekend, yet the biggest story coming out of it is Dwayne Haskins missing the final snap of the game so he could take a selfie with a fan.
Players and coaches have publicly shrugged off the mishap but everyone outside the organization has seemingly drawn battle lines on the topic.
For former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, his issue with it stems from the leadership angle. He appeared on 106.7’s Grant and Danny Show and said the following (h/t Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington):
“You wanna stand up in front of a group of men and lead them. It’s more your actions than your words: How you conduct yourself, the little things you do, the study habits you have, the way you communicate with your teammates, the way you walk off the field.”
Theismann also said Haskins robbed himself of a very special moment — captaining his first victory formation.
Call it one interesting take in a sea of them on this topic. If Haskins ends up leading many kneel-downs to end games victorious this season and well into the future, this mishap will likely go long forgotten.
