BALTIMORE -- Here’s what Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke had to say after the 13-12 loss to the Ravens on Saturday:
On if he feels more like himself today: “Much more so than last week. I’m really proud of the guys, it was a much cleaner operation. ... We moved the chains, we got into scoring position, we didn’t put it in the end zone as much as we wanted, but we gave (Younghoe) Koo some chances, so I’m proud of the guys.”
On the biggest difference from last week: “A little bit has to do with nerves. Before last week, the last time I played as a team in a full-speed situation was in Chicago. You fast forward seven months, I think that was a little part of it. At the same time, this is no excuse, but not getting many reps during training camp, which I completely understand, it can kind of get to you. But as a veteran, that’s not an excuse.”
On the play of WR Chris Blair: “We brought Chris (Blair) in last year. He was on the practice squad all year, so I had a lot of reps with him. He was making a lot of plays last year, and he’s continued to do that through this offseason. We have a good chemistry together. That (performance) was very expected of him.”
