REVISITED: Did the Atlanta Falcons COST Themselves by Benching Kirk Cousins for Michael Penix?

Episode 2625 Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Atlanta Falcons face regime-shaking consequences a year after benching Kirk Cousins for Michael Penix. Can Atlanta run it back with Cousins in 2026, or has the team missed its window to capitalize on his high floor and veteran stability? Host Aaron Freeman examines the Falcons’ offensive trends, scrutinizing key stats like red zone efficiency, explosive plays, and deep-ball struggles since Darnell Mooney’s demise. The episode covers contract challenges, coaching futures, and looming roster moves as Atlanta faces salary cap constraints and uncertain quarterback leadership. With potential hires like Klint Kubiak or Kevin Stefanski in the mix, the future hinges on bold decisions—will the Falcons find the right answers at quarterback to reignite their playoff hopes?
