00:00 Atlanta Falcons who started the game with Taylor Heineke late in that third quarter,
00:03 early fourth quarter going down with a hamstring injury.
00:06 Did you get a look at that one on tape?
00:08 Could it be a severe injury and something that might keep Heineke out for a few weeks
00:11 now, Doc?
00:12 Look, Heineke had a right hamstring strain and look, I think he was available to come
00:17 back into the game in an emergency sense.
00:20 But at this point, you know, we talk about hiding behind health and it's not that he
00:24 doesn't have an injury, but it seems like it's going to be Desmond Ritter time again.
00:29 For a while there, it was Desmond Ritter, clear your head from the concussion, potential
00:34 concussion, give Taylor Heineke a chance.
00:37 Now I think the shoe's on the other foot going the other way and it should be Ritter, at
00:43 least for the short term going forward.
00:46 We talked about no quarterback injuries, but now we're talking about all these quarterbacks.
00:49 Then you throw in Baker Mayfield who may have jammed his thumb, finished the game and here
00:52 you go.
00:53 Tyler Murray, no question that he outperformed what we would think from week one.
01:00 More impressively, not his running ability, was he didn't show as much rust as you might
01:05 expect.
01:06 You know, returning to play midseason with a new coaching staff, new playbook, etc.
01:12 You can't get a lot of snaps in the regular season when you're preparing for other quarterbacks
01:16 to play the weeks ahead of you, Toon and Dobbs in the weeks ahead.
01:19 So he did well.
01:20 He ran well.
01:22 I think that's a factor of how good of an athlete Tyler Murray is.
01:26 He threw well from the pocket.
01:28 The key is that you can still see that he has a hitch in his gait on the right side
01:32 and most noticeably harder to cut off that right, but also watch him decelerate when
01:38 he can get a straight line and get some great high end speed because he's just that great
01:42 of an athlete.
01:43 But slowing down, it's stopping a Mack truck, slowing down.
01:48 He's still not there yet, but obviously he had success.
01:51 So kudos to him and the Arizona staff.
