From the episode

Michael Penix looked bad in the first quarter, Michael Penix, and then he kind of settled in and he looked really good. The other thing too, is that that offense, he, he ran a lot more under center. And I'm starting to think that Zach Robinson just might not be it after what we saw last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Penix settled in well; under-center usage hints at Robinson limitations.

Michael Penix returned to the Falcons and showed improvement as the game progressed; he ran more under-center plays, which JJ Zachariason believes may indicate offensive coordinator Zach Robinson's limitations and suggest better offensive efficiency going forward.
