## Resource

Carl and Mike close out the show with final thoughts on Michael Penix Jr.'s telling the Falcons he is not 100 percent ready to go resulting in the team naming Tua Tagovailoa as their Week 1 starter and discuss why they believe at some point Penix Jr. will play for the Falcons however question when that will be due to the fact they believe it is a mental hurdle Penix Jr. is dealing with.
