From the episode

Bucky has been great at times this year. Sword against Dallas week one. He's getting red zone carries, which we all – At least I was worried about prior to the season. But Atlanta – I mean, the beginning of that game versus San Francisco. San Francisco was just running all over them.

Irving's red zone role faces tough test against 49ers' strong run defense.

Bucky Irving has been great at times this year with red zone carries, but faces a concerning matchup against San Francisco in Week 8; the source notes San Francisco was running all over Atlanta early in their game, suggesting the Falcons' run defense struggles could make Irving's workload less productive despite his recent production.
