Jason La Canfora had some intel on Michael Penix Jr on Monday and it's time to ask him about it directly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the news that the Atlanta Falcons plan to place the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., explain why they think the Falcons franchise tagging Kyle Pitts is them overpaying for an inconsistent one trick pony, but also explain why they think Falcons General Manager Ian Cunningham and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski didn't have a choice but to franchise tag Pitts with the lack of draft picks and limited amount of cap space that they have.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to Jason La Canfora saying that an anonymous NFL General Manager told him that the Atlanta Falcons won't just be pursuing a quarterback to man the position while Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. recovers, but attempt to find a superior option to him if possible and prepare for a scenario in which Penix Jr. is not their top choice in 2026. Mike, Beau, and Ali also react to La Canfora saying that an anonymous NFL General Manager told him that the Falcons will be in the market for a new quarterback, are looking for a starting quarterback, and that it's not good there with Penix Jr.. The Morning Shift crew explains why they are taking what La Canfora said with a grain of salt, and explain why they think the Falcons are only looking for a starting quarterback that is good enough to possibly win a few games if Penix Jr. isn't ready to start week one.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue to react to the news that the Atlanta Falcons plan to place the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., and explain why they think the Falcons franchise tagging Pitts is a bad idea because Pitts doesn't co-exist well with Drake London and Bijan Robinson and doesn't help bring the best out in London and Robinson.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle.

Send a textWhat happens when your franchise quarterback becomes the franchise decision maker? We dig into Atlanta's bold move to put Matt Ryan over football operations and why a clear chain of command might be exactly what the Falcons have needed. We talk fit, risk, and the hires that will make or break this reset—an experienced GM, a head coach with a defined identity, and coordinators who can translate vision into weekly execution.From there, we widen the lens to the playoffs. Rams-Panthers gave us a masterclass in January football where probability models collide with momentum, field position, and feel. We unpack why some fourth-down calls age poorly under pressure and why balanced teams with clean situational habits travel in cold weather. Then we preview the divisional slate—Caleb vs Stafford heat, chess matches on the sideline, and the matchups that matter more than the seeds.We also step into the NBA for a real talk moment on lines you don't cross. The Luka–Schröder dust-up is a reminder that words have weight and respect is currency—on the court and beyond the tunnel. That theme flows into a critique of Memphis' rumored teardown: small markets can't keep chasing novelty over nurturing a nucleus, a lesson Atlanta fans know too well. Finally, a quick hit on Falcons branding and new jerseys—because identity isn't just on the field; it's in the look, the logo, and the standard you set every day.If you're here for smart football talk, honest culture takes, and picks you can actually use, you're in the right place. Subscribe, share with a Falcons fan who needs hope, and drop your take: did Atlanta just find its identity or double down on nostalgia?Support the show
