Locked On Falcons

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix faces mounting scrutiny after the team's 3-5 start, but is the quarterback or offensive coordinator Zac Robinson more responsible for the offensive struggles? Host Aaron Freeman and Tre'Shon Diaz ( @TheFalcoholicLive ) break down the Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots, examining Robinson's failing play-action scheme and inability to attack the middle of the field. The discussion reveals troubling patterns in red zone play-calling, Kyle Pitts' limited usage, and whether bringing in a new offensive system would actually solve the problems. With the trade deadline approaching, they debate if the Falcons should be buyers or sellers given their depleted roster, limited draft capital, and Terry Fontenot's questionable roster construction. The conversation shifts to 2026 planning, evaluating which players deserve development focus and whether Atlanta can afford to move forward with Penix as their franchise quarterback. #atlantafalcons #nfl #newenglandpatriots #nflweek9 #week9 #m
