Episode Details

Atlanta Falcons coordinators face mounting pressure as Tommy Rees, Jeff Ulbrich, and Craig Aukerman look to reshape their respective units for a turnaround season. Can Rees finally unlock Michael Penix Jr.’s potential under center and silence doubts about the offense’s direction? The panel debates Zach Robinson’s legacy, the urgency to establish an unpredictable attack with Bijan Robinson and Drake London, and what’s next if Penix struggles in a Stefanski-style scheme. 

With Kaden Elliss’ future uncertain and the fallout from James Pierce Jr.’s legal issues clouding the Falcons’ defensive plans, Ulbrich’s push for continuity clashes with Ian Cunningham’s roster realities. On special teams, Aukerman steps in to repair Atlanta’s weakest phase, joined by embattled former Rams coordinator Chase Blackburn. Will this coaching “Avengers” squad deliver redemption, or will 2026 bring more questions than answers for the Falcons’ playoff hopes?
