Dwayne Haskins, do tell

Submitted by Hail Harbo on November 16th, 2018 at 7:59 PM

On the 11W site the question was posed, does Dwayne Haskins have a tell?  The OP seems to think so as do many contributors.  I have to say, looking back at some other highlights it would appear so.  In fact he has two complimentary tells, he literally tells the defense whether he'll be passing or handing off for a run.  

After watching video provided by the OP and other videos on YT, I'm inclined to agree.  Of course it won't help on an RPO, since that play starts as a run play, but his passing tell is near 100%.  It will be interesting to see if that has been corrected for their game with Maryland.  On the other hand, habits are hard to break, this is especially true when under pressure.

I’m seeing a little bit of the lean forward & back in the videos but the videos are so much right at the snap of the ball, they ar3 really inconclusive.

I’m not buying any of this. 

Lets just beat Indiana tomorrow & worry about Haskins and his lean on Saturday night and the week to come.

I just watched the full Purdue game and saw next to nothing regarding a tell. There were a handful of plays were Haskins got ahead of himself, maybe this is what they are referring to. Still, there was next to no consistency for a "tell." Smoke and mirrors IMO.
