00:00A Giants will be in Atlanta against the Falcons.

00:06We've talked plenty about the quarterback change there.

00:09Here is rookie Michael Pennix Jr. who will make his first NFL start on Sunday against

00:14the G-Men, G-Men, G-Men, Big Blue, and he has Kirk Cousins to thank for how far along

00:20he's come here in his rookie season.

00:22I mean, I look up to Kirk, you know, and like Kirk, to be honest, Kirk couldn't do no wrong

00:28in my eyes, so it was like, dang, like when I saw him in camp, you know, leading all the

00:32way up through the season, it was like, he's special, like he's doing that at this age

00:36and he's done a great job, you know, I'm talking about getting through his progressions, making

00:42a pass to the fifth reed, a fifth reed, you don't see that a lot, you know, scoring touchdowns

00:47and doing stuff like that, it's like, man, how is he processing the game so quickly to

00:52get to that fifth reed to make that play, you know, you're just trying to learn stuff

00:55like that and just seeing how he cancels out certain routes and stuff like that based on

00:59coverages, you know, I feel like I learned a lot of that and, you know, I'm ready to

01:03showcase it, so.

01:05I mean, honestly, I don't know who is worse, the head coach or this guy, I mean, just.

01:12It's close.

01:12When is someone just going to say, he threw nine picks in five games, he sucked, he hit

01:19a wall, when is someone just going to say, well, you get it on coast to coast, we just

01:24come right out with it, we come out with it, if we suck, we come out with it.

01:28It's just that simple, the guy was bad, you know, and that, you don't have to butter him

01:33up all week, like, like panic scares, like that, like, like, he ain't going to help you

01:38out on the field on Sunday, that's it.

01:39I'm talking about his progressions, I can't.

01:40He's the way he is, man, if a guy can get a fifth progression, yeah, I mean, whatever,

01:44come on, now, we're going to lay eight and a half with this kid making his first start,

01:49or I mean, I'm not betting the Giants either, but I'm not laying eight and a half, this

01:53is a no-fly zone for me, 43 and a half is the total, no-fly zone here.

01:59I'm with you, I'm not going near it, if I do anything, I'd take the eight and a half.

02:04If I do anything, it's going to be something with Bijan Robinson, because he'll probably

02:07see extra work knowing that they have to ease Penix into his first start.

02:12I think, look at, what's his name, the kid, Locke, I think he'll throw a tuddy and cover

02:15the number, he'll throw a wall and that'll be all they need, it'll be 15 and a half,

02:20I don't think that kid will beat him by 15 and a hook.

02:23I don't think that kid will beat him by 15 and a hook.
