Considering the defensive personnel likely missing for Sunday's game against the Patriots, the onus falls heavily on the offense to be efficient and convert red-zone opportunities. They need to be ready to score 30 points against this high-level caliber of opposition. It's certainly possible with Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London returning from injury. What raises major doubt is how limited the offense is in its operation.

Given reports early Saturday morning suggesting that the Falcons will sit their injured quarterback Michael Penix in favor of veteran Kirk Cousins, the intrigue shot through the roof for this Dolphins game. Should Cousins step in for Penix, who is questionable for the game with a bone bruise in his knee, it'll be interesting to see how this impacts the team's passing game.

Kevin Knight is joined by Rob Guerrera (49ers Gold Standard) to break down the injury report, discuss the biggest matchups to watch on offense and defense, and deliver some predictions for the game.

The Falcons laid an absolute egg in Charlotte territory, getting pulverized 30-0 in a game where they looked woefully unprepared. Atlanta got out played and out coached. As you would imagine, just about all of their players (but not quite all) were complete disappointments in fantasy football this week. It was difficult picking a "fantasy dud" just because there were so many great options.

The Falcons offense broke down against the Panthers in Week 3 in one of the ugliest games in a decade. Kevin Knight and Tre'Shon Diaz dive into the film to figure out what went wrong, including Michael Penix's struggles, Zac Robinson's schematic issues, and the lackluster play of the wide receivers.

Join us for a Falcons fan party at Fire Maker on Saturday, July 26 at 6 p.m. for a live show to celebrate training camp and an exciting season ahead.

The Falcons produced double-digit sacks only in November last year, indicating a weak pass rush. Opposing quarterbacks found it easy to work without pressure.

Raheem Morris made multiple moves to reunite with former players from his Super Bowl-winning Rams' defense, signing Leonard Floyd and Jordan Fuller to strengthen the Falcons' defense.

Kaden Elliss is set to be the full-time starter linebacker for the Falcons in 2025. His performance so far has been key for the team.

Jones was bound to have more big-play opportunities after squaring off with Richard Sherman in the previous matchup. Facing a Packers defense filled with question marks raised increased anticipation for what the 2016 first-team All-Pro can do against them.
