QB Dwayne Haskins received a lot of flak after the Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys last week for his tendency to attempt mainly short passes near the line of scrimmage as fellow Steelers Depot contributor Daniel Kitchen pointed out. In Kitchen’s post, Haskins revealed that he received the nickname “Check Down” from HC Mike Tomlin due to his inability to complete any deep passes last week. Tomlin did recognize that Haskins was efficient as a passer, taking what the defense gave him and hitting his open receiver on multiple occasions, keeping the chains moving on a couple scoring drives.
