"In general, this has been a pretty encouraging offseason. I loved the energy we saw from the defense in the preseason. I'm excited to watch Michael Penix take over after a full season to prepare to be the starting quarterback. But we didn't see many starters on the field in preseason, and there are still a lot of questions surrounding this team."
"The main questions, for me at least, are Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton's injuries and the impact they will have on the right tackle position. Behind that, the team has the personnel to rush the passer - but can they put it all together? We'll get our first glimpse at those answers against the Buccaneers on Sunday. I'd say my confidence level heading into the season is around a 60."
Falcons experienced an encouraging offseason with noticeable defensive energy during preseason. Michael Penix is slated to start after a full season preparing. Many starters did not play extensively in preseason, leaving open questions about roster readiness. Right tackle uncertainty centers on injuries to Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton and their impact on the position. The team possesses pass-rushing personnel, but consistency and execution remain unproven. The Week 1 game against the Buccaneers will provide an initial evaluation of these concerns. Current confidence in the team's outlook rests at about 60 percent, pending early-season performance.
