The 5 o’clock club is published Wednesday to Saturday during the season Womens Josh Norman Jersey , and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.Jay Gruden said that the Redskins signed Peterson because of the workout he did when he came to Redskins Park following the Derrius Guice injury. As I sat down to type this article, I went back and re-read the transcript from Gruden’s press conferences immediately after the Peterson signing.There’s a lot that I had forgotten.The Redskins went out of their way to stress that Peterson had no guaranteed money and that he wasn’t guaranteed a roster spot.A reporter asked if AD’s chances of making the roster were more dependent on injuries or performance.Gruden’s answer: “A little bit of both probably. We’ll weigh everything out and his performance will also have a lot to do with it. What he does, not only Friday, but during the weeks of practice leading up to the games.”The point here is that, even on the day that Peterson was introduced to the press, no one was actually sure if he would have enough left to make the roster.It wasn’t clear whether Peterson would be the starter or take a backup role behind either Rob Kelley or Samaje Perine.There were concerns about his age, his injury history, and his inconsistent production in 2017.There were concerns about Peterson’s running style (everyone knows he is a power-I back who simply can’t run out of the shotgun, and that he runs best behind a fullback).There were concerns about his workload, and whether he would wear down if he was given more than just a handful of carries per game.A lot of reporters and analysts could barely suppress the snickers of derision at the thought that the Redskins had done it again — Snyder had gone out and signed an over-the-hill veteran with a marquee name on the back of his jersey.All in all, there was a lot of healthy skepticism prior to the third preseason game when AD donned the burgundy and gold for the first time.Even after his 11 carries in that game, the sense of optimism about Peterson was guarded.But after three games, Adrian Peterson is 5th in the NFL in yards per game.He has punched in 3 touchdowns.He has contributed in the passing game.He has run with power, shiftiness and explosive burst through the hole.He has looked increasingly comfortable with his role on the team and in Jay Gruden’s offense, and Jay has clearly adapted the offensive attack to suit Adrian.With 236 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns after three games Authentic Da'Ron Payne Jersey , this is the pace that AD is setting if you do the math for a 16-game season:299 carries1,258 rushing yards26 receptions533 receiving yards16 TDsI’d be shocked if he actually hit all those numbers, but none of them is impossible, with the rushing yardage total being the most likely to be achieved.So here’s my question.If 2018 continues to go well for Peterson, then what?If he puts up 900 to 1,000 yards (or more) and scores more than a half dozen touchdowns while staying healthy and not wearing down late in the season...If the Redskins put up a winning record, and — especially if the Redskins get to the playoffs and AD plays well...then what?Should Adrian Peterson play for the Redskins again next year?If he does, how much should the team pay him?He’s playing for vet minimum at the moment, and he’ll be a year older.Should he play for the minimum and just be happy that the Redskins gave him an opportunity when no one else wanted him (a la Junior Galette)?Or should he be able to parlay his production into a more lucrative contract, as Vernon Davis did with the Redskins?With Derrius Guice due back next off-season, what role should AD have on the team if he is resigned?Should the starting job belong to Peterson?Should it belong to Guice?Should Gruden hold an open competition?Would a Peterson/Guice combination be good or bad for the Redskins?A wolf pack can only have one leader.Would Guice’s development as a runner and as a locker room leader be stunted by having the future Hall of Famer in the same room with him from week to week, or would it be an invaluable opportunity for the young man to learn from a man who came back from his own ACL injury and led the league in rushing the following year?Could Peterson handle being a backup?He didn’t seem to accept it well in New Orleans.Guice is clearly the Redskins future at the running back position, but would the team owe some loyalty to Peterson if, after coming in as a bit of an aging dark horse, he helped the team to a division championship and a spot in the playoffs?Would Peterson owe any loyalty to Gruden and the Skins for taking a chance on him when no other team was interested?In short, should Adrian Peterson Authentic Adrian Peterson Jersey , Redskins starting running back, future hall of famer, Trent Williams’ business partner, and 34-year-old running back be re-signed to play with the Redskins in 2019? If so, would you try to extend him during the season while he may still be willing to sign a team-friendly deal, or is it better to wait until the normal free agent frenzy period next March to try to get him back?Or — would it be better just to let him walk, hope he signs a studly contract with another team and earn a compensatory pick for letting him walk after just one season of bailing the team out of a deep hole.Would any other team even want him? Dwayne Haskins, QBSchool: Ohio St | Conference: Big TenCollege Experience: Redshirt Sophomore | Age: 21Height / Weight: 6-3 / 220 lbsProjected Draft Status: 1st roundNFL Comparison: Alex SmithCollege StatisticsPlayer SummaryDwayne Haskins finished his 2018 season with the Buckeyes as Big Ten Champions and a Heisman Trophy Finalist. He set OSU and Big Ten records for most passing yards in a season (4,580) and passing TDs in a season (47). Haskins would probably be best suited to stay at Ohio State for another season, but with a weak QB class this year and Urban Meyer retiring, I think he’ll declare and end up being a first round selection. Haskins has natural abilities as a thrower. He works well in the pocket and when given time is accurate to all three levels down the field. The key words there is given time; Haskins is 2nd best in the nation with a passer rating of 134.4 when given a clean pocket. Because of his size, accuracy, and Urban Meyer tutelage, I’d compare him to Alex Smith, just with a bigger arm.StrengthsAccuracy, especially on intermediate throws. According to PFF http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/preston-smith-jersey , Haskins had a 77.9 adjusted completion percentage this season. He had an almost 6:1 touchdown to INT ratio, only throwing 8 interceptions on the season.Mobility in the pocket. Showed a natural ability to slide in the pocket while maintaining vision down the field.Arm strength. While he isn’t the most accurate passer in CFB down the field, I have yet to see a throw he cannot make when his mechanics are together.Half-field processing. Excelled in the scheme and showed a quick ability to read half field defenses.WeaknessesInexperience. Haskins is young and generally untested, only starting 1 season for the Buckeyes.Mechanics on deep throws. His footwork can be sloppy causing inconsistencies on deep throws.Scheme. The con that always comes along with QBs who excel in a “system” is can they continue to excel in a more complex, pro-style offense that requires a full-field progressions rather than a single read down the field.Pressure. He thrived under generally clean pocket conditions, but how will he handle the pass rush at the next level. Especially if he is a high draft choice and ends up on a squad with a less than stellar offensive line.Media More Dwyane Haskins videosGrades:Size: 9/10Has prototypical size for an NFL QB. Is tall enough to see the field and thick enough to take a hit.Accuracy: 9/10Haskins was 5th in the nation this season with a 70.2% completion percentage. He can make all the throws when his mechanics are together. He was the 2nd most efficient passer in the nation with a clean pocket. However his mechanics can be sloppy at times, which I believe can be cleaned up.Arm Strength: 13/15You’ll hear a lot of people talk about Haskins as a natural arm talent. He can make all the throws, throw from different platforms, and can make up for lower body mechanical issues with his arm.Mobility: 8.5/10Haskins is different from some of the QBs Ohio State has had in the past. He is not a mobile quarterback, but a quarterback with mobility. Ability to feel pressure and slide in the pocket grew as the season went along. He can take off and run when he needs to, and isn’t shy of contact, but it’s not what he’s looking to do.Processing Speed: 12/15Haskins has shown to be very good at half field reads. He got better throughout the season in recognizing and looking off coverage. However, he was not asked to read a full field very often in Ohio State’s offense. This inexperience in reps and scheme could make for a steep learning curve at the next level.Mechanics: 7/10It is surprising to me how accurate Haskins is with how bad his mechanics are sometimes (which just goes to show what a natural arm talent he is). The good news is he shows the ability to put it all together at times, making it more likely a by product of inexperience. He has a tendency to not set his feet properly causing inaccuracies and problems with velocity especially on down field throws. His mechanics suffer against pressure as well, which is to be somewhat expected from such a young QB.Leadership: 10/15The sentiment throughout the season is that Haskins was growing into being a vocal leader. He has always been a lead by example guy, but is starting to come into his own as a vocal leader http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/shawn-lauvao-jersey , which will be important if he is thrown into a starting role as a rookie. Clutch: 11/15Haskins excelled on the biggest stage he played in, putting up 396 yards and 6 touchdowns on then #4 Michigan. However he can be rattle by the rush. Ohio State’s schemes bailed him out of a few situations, so it is yet to be seen how he’ll handle that going forward.Overall: 79.5/100How He’d Fit on the RedskinsThe Redskins are in obvious need for a QB. With Alex Smith’s uncertain future of playing again, the Redskins need to be thinking about a new QB going forward. Seeing how the Redskins will most likely be continuing with Jay Gruden for at least the near future, I think Haskins is a great fit. If Smith is able to come back, it would be an excellent situation for Haskins, as he could take a year or two and learn behind Smith. However even if Smith isn’t able to play (which seems like the likely scenario at this point), he could be a valuable resource for Haskins to learn from in the film room. In fact, the Redskins could even consider bringing back current starter Josh Johnson (to the dismay of San Diego Fleet fans), to go along with Haskins. It’s looking more and more likely that Haskins will the first QB to come off the board, especially with Justin Herbert returning for his senior year. I think it would be a huge mistake to try and reach for him, but if he does fall to the Redskins, they shouldn’t hesitate to take him. Custom Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys
