What Form Will The Falcons Be In Against the 49ers

I have nothing concrete about this team until after Berlin vs IND. Need a much bigger sample size. Hopes are up this week after the BUF game. Let’s reassess after SF. Historically, we’ve been a roller coaster, so IDK.
Base form. Our true power is too radical to control
No Fred Warner is going to really open up the middle of the field for those quick hitters Penix likes to throw as well as help the run game. I think defensively we will be fine.
I dunno were hard to pin down. We have one of if not the best rb in the league and a qb who plays well against zone. Thats really complimentary of each other because it is generally more difficult to stop the run with man coverage. As long as Penix is able to diagnose what the coverage is pre-snap then we should be fine.
I think we need to expect teams to throw a lot of disguised coverages at us going forward until Penix shows he can make teams pay in man coverage. If we get behind, a team manages to stop Bijan in man, or if teams can confuse Penix then it could be rough. Theres a lot riding on a young qb right now.
I think more of the same. Feed Bijan Robinson, bounce Allgeir ~30%, lean on London, get Pitts involved, and guys like Washington have to step up and be a reliable receiver. Inspired play calling utilizing play action, stay away from basic ass sweeps unless you got a good design, execution, and timing in the game. More than anything I expect red zone improvements. You gotta get TDs at least 50% of red zone trips no exceptions. Prefer 75%. Give Penix makeable passes and choose down field opportunities wisely. Busted coverage or your best posts.

Let’s hope we don’t go back to this.
Mooney has to get back into form, and Penix gotta be legit against man coverage
