Atlanta Falcons need better play calling to beat Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

Can the Atlanta Falcons coaching staff rise to the challenge against the Philadelphia Eagles? Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why it's necessary to see significant improvement from the team's coaching staff and play-calling in Week 2. With talent mismatches looming, the Falcons need strategic brilliance to secure a win.

Later, he explains why utilizing play-action passing is critical to the team's success and why something so basic matters so much in the NFL. Asking Kirk Cousins to operate under center might help make him more comfortable, but it's not as simple as it might seem to solve the team's problem with being too predictable. Not only does improvement from the coaches help the team win games in the short-term, but also sets them up for long-term success whenever Michael Penix takes over for Cousins. How can you feel confident in the team's ability to develop him if you don't feel confident in the system that he'll be running? #atlantafalcons
