Taylor Effing Heinicke

I really don’t care about the deep ball right now. It is no coincidence that our D is rising up as we are killing clock with long sustained drives. There is a happy chemistry on this team right now between the O and the D that we haven’t seen in forever. They are feeding off each other.

Teams still have to respect the deep ball with Terry and now Curtis back. So let TH chuck it every once in a while to keep the defense honest, but we make our living with runs, screens, and intermediate passes - LT gonna get in a groove soon. That is how you give the D the rest it needs. It is how they force 3 and outs late in games when you need stops.

That's what opens the middle for LT and McKissic. If defenses stop respecting the deep routes then TH's future will be questionable.

Scott Turners offense isn't set up for many deep shots anyway.. Even in Carolina they didn't do it much with Cam.

I do see similarities between Steve Smith and Scary...

I agree, and it's not like we're not taking shots. Normally Terry comes down with those, but it just wasn't in the cards. I think right now we're averaging 2-3 long balls a game, and that's about right considering #4's arm strength. Keep on completing 77% of your passes and we'll all be...

Yup. Its refreshing to see coaches actually catering to our strengths.

https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2021/12/3/22815653/taylor-heinicke-washington-football-team-futureI really like that write up. It seems pretty accurate, though the one detail he leaves out is Heinicke's limited start and practice time earlier this year and in his career.

That GW drive was clutch by TH, on that first play he scrambled from pressure and released the ball before Bates even turned his head, great anticipation and catch too
