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. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of the Dirty Birds and Brews podcast!

I don't know about you, but I am still trying to reconcile the Falcons pass rush we saw against the Vikings on Sunday night with the pass rush we've seen over the past several years. With the exception of that one Adrian Clayborn game against the Cowboys a few years ago, I can't remember a game where I had that much fun watching the Falcons get after a quarterback since the John Abraham days.

The anticipation for Michael Penix's first full season as a starting quarterback continues to grow. There is plenty of intrigue behind what someone so uniquely gifted can do in an offense filled with playmakers. While expectations should always be measured with a young player, it's reasonable to think a special season could be on the horizon for the former eighth overall pick.

Michael Penix demonstrated impressive short game accuracy during practice, achieving a majority of successful completions mainly through short passes, which are critical for a quarterback's overall effectiveness.
