The Atlanta Falcons are encouraged by the progress of their young signal caller leading into Saturday's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens.
rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is poised for his second dose of NFL preseason action Saturday, when the Falcons play the Baltimore Ravens at noon inside M&T Bank Stadium.
"I was really fired up about his overall operation, his demeanor, his ability to see what he saw on the grass," Morris said. "When he comes off the grass and he’s able to talk to you about what happened, exactly what happened, how it went down - the game was a little bit slower for him, which you like.
"Not just throwing the football around -- he threw it nice -- but just overall playing the position, going through the stuff and being able to get his stuff on the right track, that was really good," Morris said. "That was a really good day for him. Really pleased." Atlanta ran good-on-good, ones versus twos and situational drills while Penix and veteran starter Kirk Cousins pushed the ball downfield more than they have throughout a majority of the summer.
"His development is coming along great," Morris said. "I'm fired up to watch him. I was fired up to see him get his feet wet last week, in a preseason game, to go out there and really show well for himself."
