With four losses in the past six games, the Falcons are making a change at QB, but coach Arthur Smith said it's still a fluid situation.
. Heinicke gave the offense a spark — after three points and 89 yards in the first half with Ridder, the Falcons had 20 points and 252 yards with Heinicke, falling short of a comeback in a 28-23 loss."So, just for this week, with all the variables, just kind of considering everything in the last 72 hours and what we feel is good, best for this week, for us against Minnesota, Taylor will play this week," Smith said.
"He's a legitimate pro, and that's why we like him," Smith said."That's not an easy job, coming out of the bathroom and telling him, 'Hey, here's the ball. Go play.' That's what makes Taylor who he is, and why we have such an appreciation for him." "It's harder than ever to know what's real and what's not," he said."Things get passed to me that are sometimes comical, that didn't happen. It's like the game of telephone. There may be a kernel of truth and then it spirals out and next thing you know, we're trying to trade for Mean Joe Greene."
