In context
RapoportOffensive coordinator, you know, head coach Dan Quinn, and they all stood up and said, I needed to be better and I should have done this better and all of that.
RapoportAnd I think they worked in practice this week to make sure that if they get in that situation again, they can handle it properly. That is all fine, and that is all good. What matters is how they respond on the field. So yeah, I mean, I would say watching Monday night, he has, for better or worse, the performance of Dan Quinn is now in the spotlight very much.
RapoportIf they go out and play a good game, you know, I would say then no issues. I mean, look, if you're asking about Josh Harris, the owner, I mean, he has not been someone who has wanted to or liked to or hoped to fire someone midseason or anything close to that. I don't – that is not something he wants to do.
RapoportIt is something you only do if you absolutely have to. I don't think they're there. I really don't.
RapoportBut we're going to – the answers are going to come on the field. And I think Monday Nighter with the entire country watching is going to be a big one.
McAfeeOkay, last one here quick before we have to talk or get to talk to the Notre Dame head coach.
McAfeeAdam Schefter just tweeted, Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has no injury designation for Sunday's game and is expected to start versus the Bears. We saw him leave the game in overtime. Tua came in, threw an absolute strike, and another one, and then a meatball sub.
