Taylor Heinicke said he wants to improve on taking unnecessary hits. After watching the Falcons film, he still saw moments when he got hit and didn't need to do so.

A goal for Taylor Heinicke moving forward: reducing “unnecessary hits” as he scrambles out of the pocket. He’s taken a few shots in the last two games that were both hard and avoidable pic.twitter.com/rh9rep8Gmj

Heinicke has wanted to play more of a game manager style of play, but there are still some times where he needs to take a chance. The 2nd McLaurin TD was one example. Said he threw it up and trusted McLaurin to make a play in the end zone.

Terry McLaurin at the podium. Said that McKissic and Gibson are very diverse and create mismatches. They're both playing at a really high level.

McLaurin said Ricky Seals-Jones has the ability to be elusive like a receiver running his route. He has really good hands and is ready for his moment.

McLaurin knows the skillset that Marshon Lattimore brings to the table. He's very competitive, McLaurin said, so he knows it's only going to be a battle.

Terry McLaurin and Marshon Lattimore got to Ohio State at the same time and this Sunday they'll face off at FedEx Field. Terry says that in school, Marshon battled serious injury issues and to see him where he is today is really cool

Landon Collins, Washington's NFLPA rep said he saw the NFLPA's statement and has no issue with it re: investigation into head trainer Ryan Vermillion. Otherwise he didn't have any idea this was going on. Said RV is a good guy and very helpful during his Achilles rehab.

S Landon Collins praised team trainer Ryan Vermillion as a "great guy, humble guy, very respectful." He said he appreciated Vermillion's help rehabbing from the Achilles injury he suffered last year, and he said the team will continue to support the trainer.

Landon Collins said he was not one of the players that was reportedly talked to in the spring about the Ryan Vermillion situation.

Said he had no clue.

Landon Collins addressing the media. How the Saints use Jamies Winston and Taysom Hill is an added wrinkle to their offense. The key to handling that, Collins said, is for the defense to read its keys and handle their responsibilities.

Ricky Seals-Jones was unaware that Logan Thomas got put on IR. Now he knows. “He’s a guy in our tight end room we all look up to…Now it’s next man up.” pic.twitter.com/T9mro1xhQP
