If you guys like these breakdowns, you’ll love my Foundations Guide 💯 (8,000 copies sold) In it, I teach football the way it’s taught in NFL QB rooms like the ones I spent time in with Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Jordan Love and Brock Purdy👇🏼 📍thedimelab.com/products/foundations-guide
Kurt, stay a TH-cam Football 🏈 Analyst. ESPN is Woke Bull. Your breakdown is excellent. I am a teacher and coach /ref lunch football for MS. I will tell my boys about you/your channel. Merry Christmas 🎁, Buddy!
The throw to Blair was my favorite one. It shows the IQ he has, all the reps these QBs get in college playing all 4 years helps a ton. A young QB that come to the NFL after 2 years in college throws that in stride and gets the WR hurt 9/10 times. Love what we saw yesterday
Kyle "I just work here" Pitts doesn't have it, because he clearly doesn't understand the assignment. Everybody in the NFL is a freak athlete. Hard to succeed on that alone like he did at Florida.
Washington fan here and i loved this game and how he played but that pick was absolutely not his fault it looks like pitts almost threw it to the defender
There has been so many people bashing the falcons claiming that we just don’t know how to use him when in reality this guy just doesn’t try hard enough.
People really thought he was a Julio Jones replacement there is only one Julio Jones you guys wasted all of his talent and skill Matt Ryan cut his career short with all those dumb throws putting him in harms way 🤦🏽♂️
Mike has an absolute cannon dude. Like fr, on some of those deep 30 yard outs to mooney and the comeback to Ray ray he's just driving the ball on a line like it's nothing. That is elite arm talent. Like right up there with the best in the league imo.
Yes he does. I have seen him live on the field. He flicks his wrist on throws cousins has to wind up for. And when he does wind up, nobody is able to catch the heat yet.
I've been watching for a little while now, I don't play football irl but I love watching these and learning how to actually play qb (I like stuff like madden and cfb). It's so cool to watch player's like Penix and Jordon love do these thing's that are amazing. It's also amazing to watch you break these things down I love learning so thank you for being so helpful and fun to watch. GO PACK GO LET'S WIN THIS TONIGHT
I was waiting for you to drop this breakdown!!! I knew you would be hype about how he played after your Cousin’s breakdown… You were so disappointed in Kirk… But Penix brought a spark to the team!!! I love that he did well in his first game!!!
Mike's operation was so clean. None of that false start, illegal shift and other dumb stuff that has plagued the team all year. He looked like a real pro. As far as Kyle Pitts, he may be a unicorn but with unreliable hands, poor route running and underwhelming blocking ability, he's just a funky looking horse.
Man I appreciate you , you're not hater , you speak the truth and I love that your passionate about QB play, I learn a lot from you. Diehard Falcon Fan, I remember you on the team and wondered why you weren't given more consideration because in some pre season games it was obvious to me you had IT. I think maybe politics was the reason you're not a Falcon NOW.
Your breakdowns of how we are all feeling right now has given me so much life. It’s nice to hear it from someone who has been there. More of this please and thank you
As a UW fan, it was amazing to see Mike hit the ground running and look as good as he did. Looking forward to seeing him on SNF this week vs Jayden Daniels!
Great vid Kurt I really enjoyed your your breakdown. I seriously think penix will be special in this league. He played great and there’s so much room to grow
Found this linked on the Falcons Reddit. SUBSCRIBED. I find the breakdown and essentially the view from the eyes of the QB and the rest of the players fascinating. I read and watch a lot of Football stuff and found a new rabbit hole of info. So freaking stoked about Penix and his football IQ.. IQ at that position is so important. You do such a great job of breaking down exactly what’s going on and I hope we get more breakdowns on him! I think I’ve run through all his college tape 2-3 times a piece. 🥂🥂🥂
His footwork looked great too. Energetic but not frantic. Very composed. Like he kicks open the scramble door behind him every play, just so it’ll be open if he needs it.
Love the breakdown. Can’t say enough good things about Penix. He’s the real deal. I was super happy when the Falcons drafted him. The Texas Rose Bowl game sold me on him. Anyway, the Pitts criticism is warranted. Dude is just not a smart football player. His effort has been in question for two seasons now, and he’s never been a savvy route runner. Dude is all hype and no show. A “unicorn” freak athlete but can’t use his physical gifts effectively. Brock Bowers is already a much better TE than he is.
The difference a lot of times is bowers is definitely one of the best traditional tight ends I have ever seen. Pitts is one of the greatest athletes to play tight end but he plays the position like a wide reciever not a tight end. He thinks he can finesse everything but you can't. He seems to just want to catch the ball and not have the other duties of a tight end. They should just use him as a situational reciever. Cause yes he is off. But it's also clear the coaches don't know what to do with him or how to get him involved and I think that frustrates him and adds to the previously mentioned stuff. With all that said tho. The offense was way better earlier in the year when him and allgeier were actually getting decent opportunities
I’m happy with how he played to start. Gotta keep in mind that this is his first full NFL game ever. He wasn’t even really getting preseason reps. The pick wasn’t his fault, wtf Kyle…basically tossed it to the DB, lol. With that being said, I don’t think Penix should have tossed that ball at all. It was too short of the goal line with no TO left. I would have liked to see him just throw it away and live another down with more time. Not the worst mistake at all, and arguably not a mistake and just an unfortunate play.
I really enjoyed this video! First time on your channel and I liked & subbed. Your voice is great for this and your knowledge is obvious. I'm a Washington Husky fan for many years and Penix is the best QB they have ever had and I'm a big fan. Looking forward to seeing him playing for long time.....I guess I'm now a Falcon fan!
He doesn’t have heart all talent no heart. No route running loafs on routes thinking he won’t get ball then magically he doesn’t get ball cuz he plays half ass. Doesn’t use his size on contested catches how he was billed to do when drafted.. pitts plays like desean Jackson type wr as a 6’6 250 tight end
Kyle Pitts should not be in the NFL. Dude phones it in, clearly doesn’t study the game. And ever since his injury he’s lost his athleticism that made him a top draft pick. Get him out of ATL
Falcons fan and I’ve been praying for penix to start for a minute now. After the game I was then praying u would do this film review, even tho the box score didn’t look pretty.
Hey Kurt, I loved how penix looked. With Tampa falling we are now 1st place with a damn good rookie qb. ❤❤❤ as a falcons fan I'm in love with the offense. Pitts is a huge ?? Been playing like doo doo. Hopefully he can get on a streak. Love ur madden labs. Ever think about coaching?? I see Vick is going to b a head coach maybe u could be a qb coach. Anyway hope u have a great day and a merry Christmas ❤❤
I’m a diehard falcons fan and defended Pitts as much as I could. But after he blew his knee he wasn’t nearly the same. Lack of confidence, effort, just overall body language and approach to the game is all off. I truly hope he finds success somewhere else if not w the falcons
Thanks for doing this break down especially on that post route Pitts ran how lazy his effort was.. us falcons fan see this from Pitts often but the world believes that Pitts is not the problem it’s us not going to him enough but there is a legit reason why our QBs don’t target him the trust just isn’t there.
CAN WE GET A DRAKE MAYE BREAKDOWN? FEEL LIKE HE’S PLAYING EXTREMELY WELL DESPITE THEIR RECORD! HE JUST OUT PERFORMED JOSH ALLEN YESTERDAY IN BUFFALO!! Much love KB 💙❤️
yeah I get it Kyle Pitts have not been playing great nor do i like his attitude on the team either. I think Falcons need to find another TE somewhere else and let him go fr. Trade him for somebody else or get a TE in the draft. He is really is a liability.
Awesome breakdown, brother. Love your knowledgeable insights. But, as a Falcons fan, I can't help but watch the lack of football awareness and overall apathy of Kyle Pitts. What an absolute disappointment. Keep this content coming, bro. 🔥🔥
also, has there been a bigger bust that gets more snaps than Kyle Pitts in the history of the nfl? we let Jonnu walk so Pitts could be our TE1 again. Terry 's brain needs to be studied when he dies
I get the Jonnu walk thing. He is clearly the better TE, but you hope your investment in Pitts pays off with him developing into a better player. That's why we let him walk. I'm more upset at the draft pick of Pitts than anything...just look at the names following him (Chase, Parsons, Sewell, Surtain, ect)
Yes Kyle Pitts sold HARD but i think people are failing to realize there was 16 seconds on the clock no timeouts and spiking it where pitts would have been downed would have put them at the 2 with barely 3 seconds or so and only made it closer of a chip for 3 points. In reality/hindsight that throw shouldn't have mattered at all.

I think that’s what Arthur smith was saying about pitts but gotta lotta shit for it he lazy asf
Washington fan here and i loved this game and how he played but that pick was absolutely not his fault it looks like pitts almost threw it to the defender
Come back later, Jayden Daniels otw too
Thank you bro at least someone knows
@@KurtBenkertok sweet
@@KurtBenkertcan you do another Lamar breakdown
@@KurtBenkertYESSSSIRR
Loving the kyle pitts slander lol
There has been so many people bashing the falcons claiming that we just don’t know how to use him when in reality this guy just doesn’t try hard enough.
@@rodgerz8577he’s big and lazy
Hahaha He deserves every last bit
People really thought he was a Julio Jones replacement there is only one Julio Jones you guys wasted all of his talent and skill Matt Ryan cut his career short with all those dumb throws putting him in harms way 🤦🏽♂️
Superb mini-rant at 4:23 re: how to be (or not be) a QB-friendly ball catcher
im so excited for the future at qb which is something i haven’t said in forever as a falcons fan
I wish prime Julio Jones had a QB with this type of arm Penix arm is strong asf compared to noodle arm Matt
Penix was very accurate and he anticipated and timed everything well. But Kyle Pitts owes him multiple apologies
Another thing I liked is he seemed like he's been here. He's seeing the field he's seeing the defense. Nothing felt hard or rushed. It was just there
"He's a dawg." Dawg indeed, Kurt. 💛💜
Mike has an absolute cannon dude. Like fr, on some of those deep 30 yard outs to mooney and the comeback to Ray ray he's just driving the ball on a line like it's nothing. That is elite arm talent. Like right up there with the best in the league imo.
Yes he does. I have seen him live on the field. He flicks his wrist on throws cousins has to wind up for. And when he does wind up, nobody is able to catch the heat yet.
bro! I love this breakdown. Helps me see the game completely differently.
I've been watching for a little while now, I don't play football irl but I love watching these and learning how to actually play qb (I like stuff like madden and cfb). It's so cool to watch player's like Penix and Jordon love do these thing's that are amazing.

the additional Pitts breakdown was very necessary
I was waiting for you to drop this breakdown!!! I knew you would be hype about how he played after your Cousin’s breakdown… You were so disappointed in Kirk… But Penix brought a spark to the team!!! I love that he did well in his first game!!!
Super excited to see how Penix does. Loved his time with UW (big Huskies fan)
Mike's operation was so clean. None of that false start, illegal shift and other dumb stuff that has plagued the team all year. He looked like a real pro. As far as Kyle Pitts, he may be a unicorn but with unreliable hands, poor route running and underwhelming blocking ability, he's just a funky looking horse.
I wonder if Pitts could switch to edge rusher 🤔
Omg I love this comment 🤣
He’s their franchise qb but also that one pick wasn’t his fault
Smart of the Falcon’s coaching staff to have Penix start against the worst team in the league to get him acclimated.
Man I appreciate you , you're not hater , you speak the truth and I love that your passionate about QB play, I learn a lot from you. Diehard Falcon Fan, I remember you on the team and wondered why you weren't given more consideration because in some pre season games it was obvious to me you had IT. I think maybe politics was the reason you're not a Falcon NOW.
UW fan here. I’m so glad people are finally realizing how talented he is
outside of falcons fans the most pumped about mpj are Kurt and Chris SImmsl hahahah love it
Your breakdowns of how we are all feeling right now has given me so much life. It’s nice to hear it from someone who has been there. More of this please and thank you
🤝🤝
I was looking for this video yesterday! Thanks for quick upload Kurt!
Yo! Cool to see your channel growing
Thank you dude!
I was waiting on someone to breakdown 💯
Whats up Kurt, ive been watching you since the NFL keep up the work 💪🏽
This was great. I learned a ton from this video. This popped into my feed being a Falcons fan. Glad it did.
Kurt Kurt Kurt My boy I was waiting for this vid 😂😂
Penix will be playing NFL playoff football this year yes I said it
As a UW fan, it was amazing to see Mike hit the ground running and look as good as he did. Looking forward to seeing him on SNF this week vs Jayden Daniels!
Great vid Kurt I really enjoyed your your breakdown. I seriously think penix will be special in this league. He played great and there’s so much room to grow
11:46 I’ll never question the talent, only how it’s translating. I want Kyle to ball but damn lol
Good breakdown so far. Bijon got away with a hold around the 7:00 mark. However Penix was still calm under pressure

Bijan great at picking up a blitz
Arguably best RB in the league. He does all 3 phases sooo well. Blocking, Running, and Catching
Love the breakdown. Can’t say enough good things about Penix. He’s the real deal. I was super happy when the Falcons drafted him. The Texas Rose Bowl game sold me on him.
Anyway, the Pitts criticism is warranted. Dude is just not a smart football player. His effort has been in question for two seasons now, and he’s never been a savvy route runner.

kurt don't give me hope like this
Great content Kurt, was excited for this one. Would love to have you for an interview sometime

Thanks for saying this man
Loved the commentary on the lack of Pitts route running. He is playing lazy and needs to be rewarded left bench
Could you make a breakdown of Kyle Pitts, because I really don't understand how he fell off so hard after the rookie season.
He doesn’t have heart all talent no heart. No route running loafs on routes thinking he won’t get ball then magically he doesn’t get ball cuz he plays half ass.
Doesn’t use his size on contested catches how he was billed to do when drafted.. pitts plays like desean Jackson type wr as a 6’6 250 tight end
@ anything falcons can do to fix this or is bro just a bust
13:00 LMAO I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING… SAYING HIS THROW AWAYS & BAD PLAYS ARE LOOKING GOOD IS CRAZY GLAZE KB 😂😂
Hey Kyle Pitts “just works here..” man
#RISEUP
We found our franchise QB to bring us a ring !!!🔥🔥
You should see the window Jayden threw into for one of the Crowder tugs. It was insane. Lemme know if you saw it. It was crazy. 🔥
He said he’s gonna be covering Washington later today I think
@abyxis that’s awesome.
Great content man. Thanks!
Great vid
Thanks for watching!
Penix is a better qb in his first day on the job than Dak Prescott is after ten years.
Kyle got me boot out the playoffs too 😂 I was hopeful
Kyle Pitts should not be in the NFL. Dude phones it in, clearly doesn’t study the game. And ever since his injury he’s lost his athleticism that made him a top draft pick. Get him out of ATL
Kurt you're preaching about Pennix and Pitts 💯💯💯💯💯
Penix will be a Brady type QB and Daniels a Mahomes type QB.😮
16:55 notice the disconnection on that play. Mooney and Ray Ray are running the same route 😢.
I said the same shit. Sounds like a Zac Robinson play design
Is this man gonna be the next Big Ben with the pumps!!!! I’m loving it as a Steelers fan!
Thought at 14:02 that he should’ve put a bit more air under that one. Very excited to watch him play though.
Aye my fellow Falcons fans, we have our Franchise QB!!!!!
Falcons fan and I’ve been praying for penix to start for a minute now. After the game I was then praying u would do this film review, even tho the box score didn’t look pretty.
Hey Kurt, I loved how penix looked. With Tampa falling we are now 1st place with a damn good rookie qb. ❤❤❤ as a falcons fan I'm in love with the offense. Pitts is a huge ?? Been playing like doo doo. Hopefully he can get on a streak. Love ur madden labs. Ever think about coaching?? I see Vick is going to b a head coach maybe u could be a qb coach. Anyway hope u have a great day and a merry Christmas ❤❤
He is, in fact, a DAWG!! #GoHuskies
I’m a saints fan and I’m scared
I love it
If Penix works out, being the same age as the rest of this offense, they could be dangerous in years to come. I wonder what’s gonna happen to Kirk
Need that JD5 breakdown!
As a falcons fan , I’m happy cowboys beat the bucs!
Nice vid as usual
73 qb rating! What a DAWG!!
You the best KBK
Washington fan here,we have are work cut out with penix Sunday. He doesn't look like a rookie! He was my choice at 2 last draft.😅😊
First video of yours I've seen. Loved it. Sub'd!
Dont forget 6 drops for receivers!
Why do you not like pistol?
4:44 Pitts has been horrible this year, wtf is he doin there lmao
I’m a diehard falcons fan and defended Pitts as much as I could. But after he blew his knee he wasn’t nearly the same. Lack of confidence, effort, just overall body language and approach to the game is all off. I truly hope he finds success somewhere else if not w the falcons
Would u ever get in coaching? Like being an OC or QB coach for a team
Maybe when my daughter is older
Kurt, how much of this is Penix and how much is NYG being bad? Signed, optimistic falcons fan…
This is the question I have Kurt. Why do you not like the pistol formation.
Thanks for doing this break down especially on that post route Pitts ran how lazy his effort was.. us falcons fan see this from Pitts often but the world believes that Pitts is not the problem it’s us not going to him enough but there is a legit reason why our QBs don’t target him the trust just isn’t there.
At 16:15, why are Mooney and RaeRae so close?
Is this the best rookie class overall in the past 10 years?
You called it Kurt, it was the right decision so far to bench Kirk
Could you break down Drake Maye’s most recent game against the Bills?
You don’t like pistol formation?
Where can I find all 22 film at?
Can you do one for Bryce Young
How do I join the community?
I'm so sick of Kyle Pitts man, and the kicker, the kicker right in the nutz, is that should've been JaMarr Chase 😢
CAN WE GET A DRAKE MAYE BREAKDOWN? FEEL LIKE HE’S PLAYING EXTREMELY WELL DESPITE THEIR RECORD! HE JUST OUT PERFORMED JOSH ALLEN YESTERDAY IN BUFFALO!!
Much love KB 💙❤️
yeah I get it Kyle Pitts have not been playing great nor do i like his attitude on the team either. I think Falcons need to find another TE somewhere else and let him go fr. Trade him for somebody else or get a TE in the draft. He is really is a liability.

If you watched him play in college, you would already know...
also, has there been a bigger bust that gets more snaps than Kyle Pitts in the history of the nfl? we let Jonnu walk so Pitts could be our TE1 again. Terry 's brain needs to be studied when he dies
I get the Jonnu walk thing. He is clearly the better TE, but you hope your investment in Pitts pays off with him developing into a better player. That's why we let him walk.
I'm more upset at the draft pick of Pitts than anything...just look at the names following him (Chase, Parsons, Sewell, Surtain, ect)
after watching this video i learned that kyle pitts is buns and michael penix jr is that guy
Commander hate week starts now penix has a chance to beat jayden and send us to the playoffs 😮💨😮💨🙏🙏
Kyle Pitts needs to watch this video
What does All-22 film study mean
Define insane: draft Kyle pitts year after year and never learn
It was against the Giants.
Yes Kyle Pitts sold HARD but i think people are failing to realize there was 16 seconds on the clock no timeouts and spiking it where pitts would have been downed would have put them at the 2 with barely 3 seconds or so and only made it closer of a chip for 3 points.
