Atlanta Falcons shake up their offensive approach as Michael Penix faces a pivotal transition towards can under center. Can it unlock his full potential? Host Aaron Freeman explores the complex dynamics between under center, pistol, and shotgun formations, dispelling myths about their impact on Atlanta’s 2025 struggles.

Insights include the importance of play-action, challenges with wide receiver play from Drake London and others, and whether Kevin Stefanski’s shift to under center will be the “magic fix” fans crave. Will Penix improve at attacking the middle and boost timing with his receivers? With Trevor Simeon and Brian Robinson joining the 53-man roster, the team bets big on new personnel and strategy to drive results in 2026.
