8 Highlights from Kyle Allen with Reporters

New Redskins Quarterback Kyle Allen met with reporters for the first time since being traded for by the Redskins brass to compete with Dwayne Haskins to be the starter.

Here's a look at what he had to say via about a 15-minute teleconference:

1. I asked Allen what his view of the Redskins defense was after playing them in late November. He carved them up early and then was bludgeoned by the pass rush.

2. Allen on the Redskins quarterback competition (make no mistake about it - it's a legitimate battle).

Kyle Allen said he and Dwayne Haskins have texted and that he's excited to meet up. Asked about going competition, "We've been doing it all our lives."

Allen said the #Redskins are getting a good, young offensive coordinator in Scott Turner. "It's a good opportunity for him, and it's a good opportunity for the Redskins."

Kyle Allen on what Thomas Davis meant to the Panthers' locker room: "He was a great locker room presence. Great dude. We definitely missed him in Carolina... not afraid to lead... a strong vocal leader."
