QB corner: Michael Penix Jr. on the Dolphins
Here’s what Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had to say about the Dolphins, who his team will play at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium:
Q: What do you see in Miami’s defense?
A: “I feel like the defense is really good. I feel like you can’t look at their record and try to put them in the box of: OK, this is not a good team.”
Q: What’s the talent level?
A: “At the end of the day, it’s an NFL team. Those players are all a part of that less than 1% (of the population to make it to the NFL.) So, it’s definitely going to be a big game, a challenge for us. I don’t look at the record. I look at what they’ve been doing.”
Q: With Ray-Ray McCloud released, what’s your connection with David Sills V?
A: “He’s great. He’s been great since he got here. He made a lot of plays in camp. Obviously, one of the reasons why he is here. He was part of that six-receiver (group). He’s been great. We’ve got a good connection.”
