On today's Chris Sims-Umbutton with my man, Connor Rogers,

0:04.1

will ask, does it really matter where an offensive coordinator sits?

Plus, we look ahead to week four, including Michael Parsons,

0:14.7

return to Dallas.

Chris Sims-on-button starts right after this.

0:21.3

I went, holy, you're Julius Peppers?

0:25.0

I didn't know you were this big.

0:26.7

And he just looked at me and smiled like with the same look most guys give me.

0:30.1

Like, you're crazy, Sims.

0:37.2

Yo, yo, yo, what up? It's Chris Sims. It's Chris Sims. I'm button. I'm here. Connor Rogers. I'm the crazy one. I got to have you. I got to balance that out. And they've got a sane one here. Okay. So I'm crazy. He's sane. He's got smarts. I'm a little bit, you know, spout off guy. Okay. That's what we are. That's what we are good. Balance, right. You know, we've got to have that, certainly. And, yeah, that's always a funny story, seeing guys like that in the NFL who are crazy freaks of nature. Just the reactions. All they could do is laugh. Like, what else are you going to do? Exactly right. Exactly right. It's just, you know, NFL players in general, I think if people saw them more on a regular basis, would be shocked of all the sizes, shapes they all come in, right? And just how many of the really good ones where you just would go, oh, now I get why he's good. that guy is built different than any guy I've ever seen in my life, whether that's

1:30.6

an AJ Brown, right, or a Patrick Certain at Corner or a Lawrence Taylor or whatever.

1:36.2

You brought Pepper's right.

1:38.1

He's the pinnacle example.

1:39.6

The special players are usually special for a reason.

1:42.6

It's very rarely the special ones just look like, you know, Johnny on the corner on Fifth Avenue, New York City. They have a body and a build that is, you know, crazy and it makes them different, even on an NFL field. I feel like you could show a non-football fan, a picture of Miles Garrett and be like, do you think this guy is good at sports? And they'd be like, yes, I think he's very good at sports. He's good at something of being strong. Athletic. And we are going to dive into the Brown's defense today because it was quite the performance in their upset, went over the Packers. We're going to keep the film reviews going. We're going to talk Michael Pennix. The Falcon's offense just completely fell apart. We'll do a little rookie of the week and to look ahead to

2:17.8

week four. We're going to do a little bit more of what's more likely across a couple different

2:21.7

games. So, Chris, let's jump right into this film review of Michael Pennix because there's bad and

2:27.8

then there's this, especially for a guy that we haven't really seen this from yet in his college

2:32.9

career and NFL career. Penick's in week three, 18 to 36, 172 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown. He throws two picks. The Falcons did not cross Carolina's 30-yard line, by the way. And they got blown out by a team that they were favored by five and a half points against. Yeah, yeah. There's a fallout from this, and we're going to getting to the Pennix aspect in just a second. Zach Robinson, their play caller, he's going from the

2:54.6

booth to the sideline. More on that later. They fire their wide receiver coach, Ike Hilliard, which unless there's something I don't know is the ultimate random fall guy move. It seems like that. I will say that. And I feel bad for Ike. I mean, One, I played with Ike in Tampa Bay. I mean, Ike is as good a human being as it comes. He loves football. Right. He's got a real nuanced knowledge of wide receiver position. Yes, it feels like it was like, wait, we're bad. We're not doing good on the offense. I can't fire the OC, but the owner or somebody wants me to do something on the offensive side of the ball to shakes things up. So let me fire the wide receiver coach. I don't know. I don't get it. Maybe we'll hear more about that. Either way, it wasn't good on the offensive side of the ball, and it wasn't good
