Earlier today on The Morning Shift, Ali Mac, Mike Johnson and Beau Morgan continued to preview the Atlanta Falcons matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and explained why they think Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. must show off and use his mobility more to prove that he's the Falcons franchise quarterback.
“If he’s gonna unlock himself for the next eight games and say you know what we’re gonna go on a run, I’m the guy, I am the man here, this is my job, I think the key to it is his legs.” Beau Morgan said
In today’s NFL a team can only be successful if they have a quarterback that can move around at least a little bit, scramble, and buy time inside and outside of the pocket. Last week Penix Jr. looked good doing that at times, but if he really wants to prove that he’s Atlanta’s franchise QB moving forward he has to do it more when the opportunities present themselves, including this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
