Literally. I hope Taylor Heinicke plays free as fuckin bird tonight. Heinicke has 77 career attempts since entering the NFL in 2017. He’s starting for a 7 win playoff team, that hasn’t had a playoff game since 2012, vs arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. There truly is no pressure on this guy, and I hope he plays like it. I hope he’s cool as the other side of the pillow. If the infamous Chase Young video shows us one thing its that Heinicke certainly has that vibe to him.
Thats a confident man. He really could have said “Nice to meet you Mr. Young.” and I wouldn’t been surprised. Because the 2nd thing that video shows is that that was the first time Chase had met his now starting QB. But Taylor didnt say that. He looked the leader of his team in the eyes, dapped him up and said ‘I got you bro…This is what i do.’ THATS A BAD MAN. That is certainly what Taylor does, approximately 65 times over 4 years actually, before that. But hey, I absolutely love it. You simply cannot have a better answer in that mic’d up position. That clip already has Taylor Heinicke in folk lore status so whether he goes for 250 and 2 TDs or 150 and 3 INTs Taylor Heinicke is stepping onto and off the pristine FedEx Field with no one but fans. There is no hating Taylor Heinicke after this game. So Taylor Heinicke, go off King. This is what you do. HIGH. NI. KEY.
