FALCONS SQUAD SHOW: Kevin Stefanski and the Atlanta Falcons make their PRESEASON debut

Atlanta Falcons offense sputters in preseason debut under Kevin Stefanski—are QB questions just beginning?

Aaron Freeman, Miles Garrett, and Jarvis Davis break down a lackluster showing from Tua Tagovailoa and the starters, highlighting struggles in the run game, right tackle woes, and frustrations with new play-caller Tommy Rees. Is Michael Penix Jr. still in the mix for QB1? The hosts assess Kyle Pitts’ early chemistry with Tua, the patchwork wide receiver group featuring Zechariah Branch and Chris Blair, and mounting concerns about offensive line run blocking with Caleb McGarry’s absence.

On defense, the crew spotlights the interior’s soft play, questions Mason Smith’s impact, and dissects Mike Hughes’ continued struggles at cornerback. They debate the upside of Avion Terrell, Kobe Bryant’s development, and key defensive adjustments by Jeff Ulbrich. Special teams emerge as a silver lining—will Craig Ackerman’s unit be the difference-maker? Can the Atlanta Falcons rebound before Week 1, or do more shakeups loom?
