I'm a VCU Ram. So maybe this defies all logic.... but I LOVE this Kid. I'm so glad he's on my Football Team. He's a baller - 100%. Rooting hard for him, and at a bare min.... we've got ourselves one heck of a back-up QB now, that the Team likes to rally around. And... maybe more.
@@markdouglas1601 most engineering students has a good eye for distance calculations, they are very accurate with throwing a football. Taylor may be our future quarterback I think and I hope so.
Don’t worry he will. I think Ron is the best team coach in the NFL. These guys are so disciplined, they respect each other. They never say I, they say we can get better. Also they don’t listen to all of that sports media crap. When we beat the cowboys last year, they stayed professional. No hate. Rivera and Alex gave these guys hope, because of what they’ve been through. The team is only going to get better. I feel really good about it.
Honestly I am glad that he is out of Minnesota, the kid is a baller and I would love to have him, but he would never have seen the light of day and I feel that Fitzmagic will be a great teacher to give him a shot at a successful NFL career.
Man I remember watching this. Some of the greatest pre season ball ive ever seen. We had him and sloter. Hope mond works out behind Kirk if not we will always regret it. SKOL.
I actually remember watching this preseason game live (which is weird because I never watch the preseason) but heinicke can ball fr. I was so hyped when the Vikings ended up winning this.
Kid plays with so much heart, regardless of how you feel about him. My mans puts in the work, is a great team player and just overall a guy you can see the WFT players wanna play for. Happy to have him here in Washington
So glad he got to do this move on the big stage and get signed with WAS. It's criminal that he was almost not even in the NFL - but I'm happy cause I'm a WAS fan and he's gonna lead us to the first superbowl in decades.
I love how the team and crowd and stadium went all in on his win. Probably one of his best feelings as an NFL QB, preseason or not everyone is trying as hard as possible and it deserves respect
This was one of the best preseason games I have ever seen. Even though it was preseason you could tell that this guy had the intangibles that can't be taught. He knows how to win.
He is just so so so good. I mean it's crazy. Every time he plays it's like this. What were the Vikings thinking to let him go? As a WFT lifetime fan I am just really hoping he gets the chance to start for us because if he can stay healthy, oh. man. watch. out. Dude, fire. Common the two point play was a busted play and he still got it in.
His decision making is top tier. Might not have the strongest arm in the world but he's slippery in the pocket and always keeps his eyes downfield. His ability to run is going to free up his WR's for some one on one action this year. Definitely rooting for this guy to have a good year and to stay healthy!!
I love how the commentators are not as surprised with the performance because it was preseason but his accuracy was really great and not all qbs do this but he won’t hesitate to risk his body and dive for the td
He should stay as our starter indefinitely Scott Turner is the one who gave him the chance in the first place. They'll want to keep working together. Even the coaching staff is starting to believe.
He’s ah true baller & Ah true winner and team guy and I’m so happy he’s getting his chance as Washington QB he’s solid enough we just need to build around him and stop tryna give up on him .
I don't think he has starter potential, but he is a very, very potent backup and has the capability to win games. He kept that wild card game way closer than it should have been, and he was really fun to watch.
I firmly believe Henicke is the QB that fits perfect for Washington. How funny at that time, Cousins was in Washington while Henicke is in Minnesota, now its Vice-Versa.
Me either, I thought he was just in Carolina. Somehow he got beaten out for the starting job down there. Hope he gets a chance this year, they hung in with the Bucs in playoffs last year, I thought he played really well.
I only got the pleasure of seeing this Kid ball out for 3 games my Moms Boyfriend subbed in as the White hat official but in those 3 games, he made pro reads, handle some pretty particular defensive systems that are even phathomed by a NFL caliber QB I believe this is the next Qb Mount Rushmore Face 🙌
I've loved watching his career develop. I remember how big he was here in Virginia when he was balling out at ODU. I tried to follow him, and every time I saw him play in the league I saw flashes of brilliance. Then last December, I got an NFL app notification saying that we had just signed him, and was hoping that he got to see the field at some point. When Haskins imploded against Carolina, I saw him go in prepared. And if not for an Offensive PI call on a TD, we would've gone to OT and potentially won that game. Then, everyone wrote us off against Tampa with him, but I kept saying he might give us a better chance of winning and then he proved it, slinging the ball around. After it was over we resigned him, and I've enjoyed watching clips of him at OTAs. He could come in this season and do this again
I know this is preseason and all but he was hurt, getting hit that entire drive running for his life, making incredible throws, gets the team in a scoring position and then flips in to win the game. And not to mention what he did against the Bucs last season in the playoffs. Almost won us the game. Hyped to see the battle between him and Fitzmagic this season. HTTR
@Ryan how is that stupid thinking if you win that's a good game. A win is a win and heinicke didn't produce one. Smith came in and brought the team to the playoffs. Heinicke played well but didn't win. I look at wins not oh looks like he did great in his one game that was a loss. That's loser thinking you have to look at it like who will get the most wins and heinicke ain't it this year, next year definitely
@@theboothy91 a QB can have a good game and still lose. The wins and loss are on the team not the player. Heinicke or any QB could go say 19-20 240 yds3TD's, 0 INT and still lose, that would be a great by the QB but a bad game for the team. By your reasoning that would be a bad game because the TEAM lost, makes no sense at all. Hell some QB's have had bad games and still won, and not one outside of you would say was a good game. That is some straight up stupidity right there and the most idiotic thing I've read in months.
@@theboothy91 my guy does that make carr, cousins, and Stafford bad because their teams didnt win a lot? No it doesn't they are all top 15 quarterbacks and Stafford is definitely a top 10. While it's true we have barely seen heinicke play the few times we have seen him on the field he has shown he has a good amount of potential, the fact he did that good against the defense that stopped 2 top 3 offenses in the same playoff run means more than 5 wins. But hey that's just me
If I am not mistaken, after the very good game he played against Tampa Bay in the playoffs last year, Tom Brady didn't bother to go over and shake hands. If you have video of that greeting, please share it. All that aside, this is the best player I have seen at quarterback in burgundy and gold since Sonny's prime days. I love the kid. He is a real storybook quarterback.
I damn near cried when Minnesota let him go! He did what he did with 3rd stringers! Could have avoided a lot of shit if they would have stuck with him instead of Bradford!!!
i remember watching this live and thought "this guy has some real potential" and I was really bummed when the Broncos signed him off our practice squad
This guys a great backup. A great backup should avoid risky throws that lead to interceptions, and ideally is a dual threat to spread the defense thin.
Man if WFT doesn't give this kid a chance they are stupid. And just need to fire everyone because the kid has talent,grit, toughness he's shown it! With that defense you don't need a mahomes. Heineke deserves that QB1.
Eh I get why we let him go. He played great but when he tore his Achilles or whatever he did by kicking that glass door I understand why he didn’t make the rooster.
Brees, Heinicke, Rodgers, Mahomes: guess which one came the closest to beating the 2020-21 Bucs in the playoffs
Technically Rodgers
Cousins!???
@@metallica990z bro what?
@@ilikewaffles889 The Vikings hottest team in nfc

This guy has heart and you can see how hungry he is in his eyes. This guy is a baller
his progressions are amazing too, every single game hes always making the right read and finding the open guy, great player.
I can’t see his eyes but he definitely has heart.
I have a heart too. And I’m always hungry. Maybe that’s why my ex wife left me.
I saw him pull off victories like that for four years at Old Dominion. He is a winner!
Hell yes bro
I know, I used to live in Norfolk va

So glad we signed him at WFT.. this kid can ball.
Absolutely wish nothing but the best for his career
Odu legend
Superman 🦸♂️
@@wondercheckhighlights617 he a racist no I heard he like trump
Love Fitzmagic but there is a part of me that wishes WFT didn't sign him so we can see what Heinicke can do
The thing I took away from this is Minnesota's O-line looked awful
It is
They were last year. Should be vastly improved this season.
That’s because this is preseason you obviously don’t watch football
On a team with bad oline you are watching the third string guys playing lol yeah I would assume they are awful too
I mean like none of these guys made the team or are in the league anymore. All 3rd/4th stringers during the preseason.
Heinicke camp to minicamp positively RIPPED. By which I mean he added 20+ pounds of MUSCLE! He looks like he's loaded for bear.
You are right, this guy will be hard to stop for our WFT
@@oclevi5163 is he even expected to compete for starting job? Though Fitz was a shoo-in money wise etc. I dont follow wft tho

It’s crazy how much of the roster has changed in 5 years
I know, but but none of them are even names I’ve heard in the NFL at all
@@thefarmingnurse most of the guys playing in the 4th quarter of a preseason game don’t make the cut
So that pilón move is his signature ! Lol 💪🏾
It was much better in wild card game than this but both are impressive
100%
Definitely is. He went to my college and he did that move a couple times
If this were a playoff game, were talking about this ending for EVER!!!!!
Pilón? Nice addition of the tilde into the English language
Come on Ron, give Taylor a chance this year!
I don't think he should start this year
He will definitely have a chance
Arent Fitzpatrick and Allen both on the team? If so, hes the third best of those three.
@@je3421 I'd say Allen is number 3
Don’t worry he will. I think Ron is the best team coach in the NFL. These guys are so disciplined, they respect each other. They never say I, they say we can get better.

As a vikings fan, Heinicke will always be one of my favorite Quarterbacks. I hope he balls out in Washington.

he’s better then fitz
The way his teammates were happy for him says a lot about that Viking squad.
This kid has grit! He loves to compete and plays to win on every play, even if he's injured. HTTR! HTTWFT!
Man I remember watching this. Some of the greatest pre season ball ive ever seen. We had him and sloter. Hope mond works out behind Kirk if not we will always regret it. SKOL.
agreed, this is why i watch the preseason games, they can be fun too :)
@Rowdy Jr. you don’t know that until he actually fails. That’s like saying fields will fail because of the history of Ohio state qbs
@Rowdy Jr. you draft the player not the jersey
Fuck the Vikings. Go pack go
Was wondering why the announcers didn’t sound as excited.
He's got the it factor. Good QB. Needs a solid chance....nice job....
Well, he has one now. He's all we've got for 2021.
Heineke now has his 2nd comeback win with wft. Great kid. Has talent, just needs to play his game and trust it.
And again today
I actually remember watching this preseason game live (which is weird because I never watch the preseason) but heinicke can ball fr. I was so hyped when the Vikings ended up winning this.
I saw every home game Taylor Heinicke played at ODU. He is the real deal.
Zimmer really saw this and was like… you know what I want? Sean mannion.
Mannion fan here, and yeah, Heinicke deserved that spot way more
No turnovers or blunders in the clutch
Heinicke launching for the endzone has become his signature move
Let's go Hein-Nick-EE!
Kid plays with so much heart, regardless of how you feel about him. My mans puts in the work, is a great team player and just overall a guy you can see the WFT players wanna play for. Happy to have him here in Washington
Heineke is a baller, all he has to do is show he can stay healthy.
Eyes downfield escapability placement awareness hunger command WINNER
So glad he got to do this move on the big stage and get signed with WAS. It's criminal that he was almost not even in the NFL - but I'm happy cause I'm a WAS fan and he's gonna lead us to the first superbowl in decades.

I really like taylor and it seems like there are big things in store for this dude
He has so much grit, determination and heart. He’s fun and exciting to watch.
ready to see this guy ball some more!!
He got to stay healthy

As a bucs fan that wft game was awesome. Got to see a new star born
Been loving him since od I would always use them in my franchise
I remember playing with him in NCAA 14 when I would play with Old Dominion
Terrell Newbie is the unsung hero of that drive, huge 3rd down conversion, huge block, and the touchdown

Ok but nobody gonna talk about him straight gassing a d end and getting the ball out on the second 3rd and 2
kinda eery knowing most of these guys probably never played a real game, still so much heart
He’s lucky they didn’t all pounce on top of him at the end, that coulda been a career ending rib injury

Heinicke is the guy Minnesota should be paying $84M to
I was at that game for my birthday
Thanks for posting. This was awesome and looks really familiar.
So awesome
This guys a great backup. A great backup should avoid risky throws that lead to interceptions, and ideally is a dual threat to spread the defense thin.
Did it again last night in a thriller vs the giants.
i’m from norfolk which is where he went to college at odu he was always fun to watch tbh
Bro he’s had multiple game winning drives now he has a clutch gene
Man if WFT doesn't give this kid a chance they are stupid. And just need to fire everyone because the kid has talent,grit, toughness he's shown it! With that defense you don't need a mahomes. Heineke deserves that QB1.
Is Raheem Mostert playing defense in this? My oh my how times have changed.
Edit: it’s actually the homie Jackson who was cut after this game 😂
He did this with little to no practice all week and thats insane.
Of course Minnesota had Heineke at one point, another player we may regret letting go of
Eh I get why we let him go. He played great but when he tore his Achilles or whatever he did by kicking that glass door I understand why he didn’t make the rooster.
Yooooo I remember him with the Vikings
wow that was amazing
i was at this game but left early cause it was a blow out at the start of the 4th
The most impressive play is the 3rd where you see him go through all his reads and not force the ball while fighting for a roster spot
