Maybe if hamstring ever takes the field that will work. It will certainly help take the top off the defense and open up the middle of the field. Logan Thomas will be a big beneficiary and every quarterback loves that safety valve.

To me as of now TH is like an upgrade on Colt McCoy; reliable back up you usually trust to come in and have a chance to win if your starter goes down, and/or serve as a good starter if your main man is down for more than 1 game. But not a franchise QB. He could be a very good starter if he shows improvement (low sample size) but I don't see him having the tools to be a franchise QB in the making.

Only difference is Colt McCoy was in the league and played a hell of a lot more games lol. No comparison

^ finally found a film breakdown of TH vs Bills

I heard Cooley say we have to run a simple "triangle" offense for Heinike nd he said thats fine, you can win with that if its done right. Im not familiar with that in NFL but everyone knows Phils triangle offense in the NBA or basic soccer teachings.

Bills played a ton of single high safety challenging us to beat them deep .. and Heinike just isnt seeing good deep routes, isnt getting the ball out on time. Like he doesnt trust his arm.

Bills had 10 guys within 7 yards of the LOS a lot.

This is what we saw last year with our weak armed QBs. Teams could pack in the D and only worry about defending the first 20 yards from the LOS.

RR said pre season we need to stretch the field and make teams have to defend the entire field. Even if its an incompletion.

Ron Rivera on creating more explosive plays this year: "Now we have the potential to put 3 or 4 guys on the field that have the potential to go the distance every time. ... The things we did, we did with that express intent," to play faster and to stretch the field vertically.

Signing Fitz and Samuel, drafting Brown = done with express intent to make this offense more vertical ...

so far its the same offense with weak armed QBs and our "explosive" plays are screens going to the house.

I know there are many advantages of having the potential for a more vertical offense, but yet I see our defense get beaten more often than not with short to intermediate passes.

10:45 mark .. feel kinda bad for Heinike on that int.

Hes ultimately responsible but Terry was standing in the flat open waving his hands at him and the DB sees it and has time to break off his man and step in front of Terry.

this guy highlighted maybe 15 passing plays .. I think all 15 Bills were playing single high safety with 10 guys near the LOS.

I did say as of now and its a small sample size. There is definitely potential there, but I just don't see him growing into a franchise QB.

So what does the anti Scott Turner crowd have to say after watching that film breakdown? He is obviously calling plays that are getting guys open. Is he supposed to go out and play QB himself? It is a different story once you see things from the eye in the sky.

This is a good observation…def agree on Brown and Samuel strategy of bringing the vertical game. Heinicke def doesn’t have he arm talent to push it down field.

The problem I have and I’ve always had…when you don’t have the QB or have an injury with our QB…too lean on an effective running game. Jay failed at this…I think Turner has been better but not great. I’d like to see a more diverse running game, I’d like to see 12 personnel, Etc. I’ve seen Turner abandon the run game.

Scott Turner's offense isn't about arm strength, it's based around timing. The QBs need to have quick decisions. Also Arm strength is the most overrated aspect of a QB... Look at a guy like Burrow who can be just as deadly as Josh Allen as a passer. Now I will agree that TH has a below AVG NFL Arm so yes that is a problem and is why he was undrafted

It really showed last week. He could not throw into the wind at all. He had no confidence to throw downfield into the wind. We he tried his balls looked like Billy Kilmer.

I agree with this bc last year our offense was quick short passes as an extension of the run game ... but I thought maybe that was perhaps him just adjusting and dialing down his playbook bc of personnel (Alex Smith/Allen).

This year I think we made additions to try and get players to fit more of what he wanted .. seemed like going vertical/stretching field/making defense have to defend entire field = what the FO focused on adding this year.

Now w the injury to Fitz we cant do what we want to do (who knows if Fitz wouldve worked out anyway) .. and our figuring out how to harmonize this offense with Taylor Heinike. He doesnt seem to make quick decisions but he does have some scramble ability and ability to hit a seam.

Year 2 and I dont think Scott Turner is getting to run the playbook he wants to.

Thats life in the NFL.

Adapt.

Taylor Heinke isnt Kyle Allen.
Taylor Heinike isnt Fitz.

Hes like something in between ... making his 4th career start.

Most glaring issue this week was his accuracy, or lack thereof. Missed too many wide open guys. And when he hesitates, he simply doesn't have the arm strength to make up for it.

Definitely accuracy issues but I think he hesitates like you said and than when he commits it is still hesitation as opposed to arm strength. We have seen him make throws off his back foot and across the field running the other way. I dont feel like arm strength is the issue as much as confidence that he can make the throw in the first place. But at that point either throw it away or slide and live another day. The worst thing u can do is hesitate and than commit late.
Like Okie said - quick decisions. Not stalled ones.
That is confidence / fear of turning it over.

[CRedskinsRule]

5 games.

With sometimes shifty play calling.

And some shitty throws.

One healthy main weapon and the right side of his OL injured.

Still 5 games.

Many bigger issues then Heinicke.
