For the first time in the near two years we've had the Kid he seemed obviously unhappy yesterday. He clearly thinks he could've gone last week, like any player probably would. But the brevity of his answers and the agitated body language made it clear he's champing at the bit to play and knows he's good. I love that competitive fire from him.
What a weird few months we've had…Terry hold out tainted the offseason, clumsy Week 1, ass kicking week 2, then we kicked ass week 3 but WITHOUT our prodigy quarterback. And given the caliber of opponents we beat I still have no clue if we're good.
I say all that to say I think the season officially starts Sunday once and for all. I think we see an encouraging and exciting return to form from 5 and we get the road win. It won't be the walk in the park the way some are talking…personally I'd rather play the inexperienced and erratic Penix than a relaxed veteran in Cousins. But if the D-line really is THIS we should be able to make Kirk uncomfortable, give 5 short fields, and turn him loose. I've felt unsure about the boys since July. Vibes were just off. But I think the season is officially ON this Sunday and Jayden Daniels reminds everyone why he's that dude.

They’re starting Penix. We won’t see Kirk unless Penix gets injured or completely shits the bed again.
Not gonna lie, Jayden came off a bit immature in the press conference. He never really says anything of substance but it just seemed he was unnecessarily short and not willing/wanting to answer with any substance. More than usual. Just something I noticed.
I just woke up and am headed to the gym. Thank you for this. Have a great finish to the week everyone.
