00:00okay michael pennix jr a little scary in practice getting involved in a little scuffle with the

00:04tennessee titans that's the last thing that you want to see i was looking forward to pennix playing

00:10honestly matt this preseason doesn't look like it's going to happen they must know something

00:13that we don't it kind of feels like a little fear here of him getting hurt and then you move to

00:18kurt cousins and matt i've told you know people here on this show my belief is just following

00:23sports is i think cousins is getting traded right before the season begins and i think that's why

00:27they're holding him out too you don't want him as a backup all season long there uh pennix's numbers

00:3233 50 passing yards on fan duel 18 and a half touchdowns and a big long shot to win the mvp

00:39boy i really don't have a good feel for how this team or how this guy is going to play i'm not sure

00:43yeah i'm not either he wasn't particularly good last year in his limited attempts it's tough to

00:50you know but clearly they're confident in him like you said they're holding him out they they feel

00:54pretty good about him so that's a good sign uh they do have talent around him now i you know i

01:00don't know at what point do we give up on on some of the talent around him i don't know but we certainly

01:04don't be john robinson drake london very good players uh you know i like that touchdown number

01:08to me that's the number that stands out as as as a very interesting number for him um him hitting that

01:13but yeah solid uh solid opportunity for him now it's just a matter of does he have the talent can he

01:19cash in because clearly they're pretty confident in him which is uh which you know you always got

01:24to take that with a little grain of salt but i do think it is a good sign
