The Falcoholic reacts: It’s a new era

As the second half progressed in Las Vegas, it became clear that Kirk Cousins ​​​​was no longer suitable for the Falcons’ starting lineup. The inability to push the ball downfield and get into the pocket against one of the worst teams in the league without its superstar edge rusher made the offense extremely limited. When a player disrupts the functioning of a unit so much, the coaching staff has no choice but to move on with someone else, no matter how painful it may be for people within the organization to deal with.

Raheem Morris would either adapt to the adversity or descend into delusion. He decided to make an adjustment by adding Michael Penix to the starting lineup. It’s an exciting move that will expand the offense and create more exciting opportunities. While expectations for a quarterback are and should be tempered in a situation where there is no room for error for the team for the rest of the season, there is likely to be a lot of excitement over whether the organization’s controversial decision to sign him is the right one looks like the beginning.

Penix gets favorable matchups for the rest of the regular season and initially faces arguably the worst team in the league. The offense is as healthy as it has been all season. Zac Robinson uses personnel appearances other than fixating on employing 11 employees.

Using play-action more frequently could create more opportunities for high-percentage passing plays, especially for players like Kyle Pitts and Darnell Mooney, who stand to benefit the most from this quarterback change. The fan base is more confident about the team’s direction, but half of them still aren’t completely sold on it.

Will the Falcons be efficient and dynamic again? Can they put pressure on teams like Tampa Bay and Washington in the playoff hunt? Let us know below.
