Matt Sims joins the show to break down Michael Penix Jr.’s return as the Atlanta Falcons prepare for Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. Sims expects some rust from Penix, but says the biggest priority is seeing the Falcons stabilize the quarterback position and bring more energy to the offense. He explains what he wants to see from Penix, Tommy Rees and the Falcons’ offense now that Penix is healthy, including more explosive plays, better play action and opportunities for Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson.
