Atlanta Falcons face uncertainty as Michael Penix's injury clouds his future, while questions mount over the team's coaching direction. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the film from Penix's performance against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11. Can the offense find new life under Kirk Cousins, especially with Drake London sidelined? Recent improvements in play-action passing spark optimism, but persistent issues—like Penix’s fit in an under-center, bootleg-heavy scheme—raise questions about the optimal system for Atlanta’s quarterbacks. Explore the Falcons' shifting offensive identity, Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts’ inconsistent impact, and the defense’s alarming slide from top 5 to bottom 6 in expected points allowed. Bryce Young’s 450-yard outburst exposes secondary weaknesses, putting the spotlight on Natrone Brooks and Billy Bowman. With the Falcons set for a pivotal Week 12 clash against the New Orleans Saints, will defensive woes or quarterback transitions define the remainder of the season?
