Kirk Cousins Benched as Michael Penix Jr. Is Named The Starter | Live Reaction

[@ryanadonis]

It was the right move. We made use of our first round pick finally!

[@JayBird84]

Against the Giants is a good a time as any to start the rook. We need something to get our energy back and I just know the energy is going to be wild for this home game. Time to bring back Optimistic Ovie !

Congratulations to Michael Vick on the coaching opportunity with Norfolk State University.

It's about damn time and hopefully the switch at Quarterback with Michael Penix Jr will spark the team. Let's Go Falcons! Rise Up!

[@zues7706]

I haven’t been seeing this podcast but Ovie looking like he’s been eating right and hitting the gym.

[@abacot24]

Yeeeaaaahhhhhh LFG fellas

[@Andy_K_in_Nash]

This team needs a shot of Penixilin! #riseup

[@Thoth973]

I'm shocked. This sounds like it came from the top.

[@zues7706]

Arthur Blank doesn’t interfere. Unless you’re referring to Fotenot

[@masterkiyoski8180]

I was about to start thinking about firing Morris if he didn't bench Kirk

[@Thoth973]

Bruh two things. #1 give us a heads up in advance so we know you going live. #2 Lo Neal needs to be brought in more often.

Now on a short week they had to make a quick decision, so Penix can practice with the ones. Now can Kaleb McGary protect his blind side? I think they lean on the running game to help Penix get through his rookie woos, nervousness. But he has the arm strength an accuracy to carry him through. This was a good move because Ra was losing the locker room and I believe Authur Blank stepped in.

[@Thoth973]

Penix ran a 4.5 forty so he can move.

[@josephbrandon9996]

They got kuzins month before Penix was drafted, a month later. Penix wasnt garunteed to be there ,but when they seen dude play in seatle and decided to go after him .Raheem and Fontino, picked Penix,Mr Blank pick Kuzins

[@HotLava17]

This spelling hurt my head

[@albinb4018]

He’s going against the giants,so he should be fine

[@Trinison7]

If Penix turns out to be a bum Terry Fontionto is out of here

[@jamarworthy4065]

That dude funny

[@richardpierce7819]

Against the Raiders kirk was playing just not to lose. He looked terrible.

[@richardpierce7819]

Defenses can no longer pin their ears back and come after us. Penix brings a whole new dimention to the game.

[@mas2913]

There will be no compliants from Kirk...he is rapidly losing confidence and most importantly from his team. The change was inevitable. Penix needs to use the play-action a lot on Sunday to settle him down....also run the damn football more than 40times

[@Thoth973]

Cousins will retire at the end of the season.

[@zues7706]

Sheeeet I wouldn’t if I was him. I’m pulling a Matt Ryan and taking my guaranteed money on the unemployment line.

The rapture has come .. thank you Jesus

[@kingchazan2052]

They waited to late, Tampa isn't losing another game,, they should be given Penix a shot 3 game's ago,, and it's not because of color when playing professionally, it's about who can get the job done,, and cousins wasn't doing that even when winning games it was just a matter of time before it really started showing,, all you so-called professional football analyst talking what you don't know should read between the lines,, cousins didn't look good in games they won OK, he couldn't orchestrate drives consistently especially when you already have the ball in the opponents side of the field,, he didn't take advantage of the situation but just because they won you look past the narrative that this qb didn't play a good game although we won,, none of those wins were convincing,, but now we look at Tampa, look at what the did to the chargers in charger land huh, something the birds couldn't do at home so yes it's good they finally put Penix in but it's to late,, the birds would have to win every game left and they're not getting past Washington, yall know that,, and the bucs probably will win every game left on they're scheduled so, I can say that you giving the guy a shot now, but they're a game behind with 3 game's left,, do you see a miracle?,, I don't,,,

[@secretoshopper]

Second coming of #7 hope the gameplame is 15 for 20 325yds passing and Dijon Mustard 20 carries for 125yds. Dont force Penix into a potential injury Easeeeeeee him into the position.No pressure!!!

[@EvanDahl]

Raheem lost his mind because you guys said he should resign if he lost 8 in a row. Mike?? wahahahaa
