"I'll admit, when I first saw reports about what Michael Penix Jr. said about the support he gets off the field, I was concerned. The way it was being reported made it sound like Penix claimed to not have support on the sideline - and let's be real, if that were the case it would absolutely be malpractice and everyone should be fired."
""It's a joke," Morris said about all of the noise around this from outside the building. "[He was] talking about him[self] outside of this building, but in this building, the people around him: DJ (Williams), Zac (Robinson), TJ (Yates) - even before we got him, just in the evaluation process - Ken Zampese - an all hands on deck kind of mentality. And that just continues to happen with moving DJ to quarterbacks coach.""
Initial reports suggested Michael Penix Jr. lacked sideline support, which raised immediate concern. Penix was referring to mental and emotional support outside the building from his fiancée and some former college coaches. In-building support exists and includes teammates and staff such as DJ Williams, Zac Robinson, TJ Yates and Ken Zampese, with an all-hands-on-deck mentality reinforced by moving DJ to quarterbacks coach. Morris expressed exasperation at outside reaction, called the outside noise a joke, and noted that Atlanta media did not accept the national narrative. Chandler Whitmer also contributed to Penix's development as a passing game specialist.
