Bill also reacted to the poor quarterback play from both Aaron Rodgers and J.J. McCarthy on Sunday before getting into 5 Things You Need To Know from the Week 3 college football slate.

Ali, Mike, Beau, and Dave discuss the Falcons having a complete win over the Vikings, the Falcons taking the win from Minnesota, how the Falcons' defense turned quarterback pressures into sacks and takeaways, why Dave thinks the Falcons' offense was so much better in the running game against the Vikings than they were against Tampa Bay in week one, how the Falcons were able to get Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier going in the run game, how big of an impact it was for Michael Penix Jr. and the Falcons' offense to have Darnell Mooney back in the lineup, how the Falcons' offense can get better in the redzone, Zac Robinson making the nice adjustment of having tight end Teagan Quitoriano in the backfield instead of tight end Charlie Woerner, and having Woerner on the line of scrimmage to take away some predictability in the Falcons' offense. The Morning Shift crew also gives their final thoughts on the Atlanta Falcons' 22-6 road win over the Minnesota Vikings, react to the news that Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow will reportedly undergo surgery on his toe after suffering a grade three turf toe injury yesterday in the Bengals' game versus the Cleveland Browns and will miss at least three months of action due to the injury, and explain why they think it wouldn't make sense for the Falcons to trade backup quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Bengals.Finally, Mike, Beau and Ali close out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!
