Tommy Rees

But and I think that, you know.

When we look at what Michael Penix is as a quarterback, we have to kind of take in consideration the surrounding pieces that they have, right? What does the offensive line look like? The offensive line, they've had their days, and they had a good day last week.

So, hey, if the offensive line is holding up and protecting, and Tommy Reese is doing what he's supposed to do to be able to help his quarterback or protect his quarterback, then he should have some success.

He should be able to do some things that can help this team win some football games.

But for you, Miles, when you think about the rollercoaster ride that is the Michael Penney's conversation saying, oh, it's either, oh, he's the guy, he's the face of the franchise for the next five years, or he's the guy that, hey, man, we're going to be looking for a quarterback in 2027.

Let's get him going.

And I think that That pressure, that back against the wall, have to do it.

I think Tommy Reese needs to bottle that up and try to figure out how to present it from a play calling standpoint to start games.

They were inches from blowing this one, but thankfully the defense once again... uh stepped up and made the critical plays when they needed to to bail out uh what was i think an efficient day from the offense but not an overly flashy one and they haven't had any they haven't had winning games off of that game script at all this season when they when they haven't rolled over an opponent with their run game the offense has largely been ineffective and this was kind of the first time that we saw the passing game take center stage and it was a welcome welcome and needed place for that to happen

Yeah, agreed, Kevin.

You know, it was great to see Tommy Reese, in my opinion, just kind of, you know, learn from the Bears offense the previous week.

I think he did a really good job of kind of understanding early what Raheem Morris was trying to do and He just said, OK, we're going to take advantage of the underneath.

We're going to attack the intermediate and short areas of the field.

And they went 20 of 26 passing.

on early down throws they only threw the ball eight times on late downs they did not have to get into a situation where they're stuck on third and long and now they have to throw it the defense knows what's happening you know we I think it was mentioned quite a bit the run run pass formula that the Falcons had kind of gotten trapped in.

into they really abandoned that this game and like you said they did a good job of just you know taking what was there on the early downs and I think it really did throw off you know the 49ers and what they wanted to do because they were out there in base so often that it really just gave Tommy Reese no other option but to attack those mismatches and really get everyone involved you know talk about celebrating National Tight Ends Day every single tight end on the roster had a catch you You know, Nick Muse doubled his career catches with two, got in for a touchdown.

It's hard to gauge how much they'll be interested in.

Shannon Dawson, who I mentioned, he's coached kind of in that area as well, the Miami offense coordinator.

Falcons offense coordinator, Tommy Reese.

He's been in the mix for a lot of college jobs.

Could be one to watch there.

I'm Tenitra Batiste, and yes, I am the good luck charm here at the Benz, but I digress.

More importantly, no revenge for Rod today, and Khalil Herbert was the elevation ambassador today.

I'm Corey Burton, and on National Tight Ends Day, Tommy Reese was in his bag, and Kyle Pitts and Nick Muse got involved.

I'm Aaron Freeman, and shout out to Kendall Daniels.

I love seeing an avatar go out there and, you know, make a game-changing play to get the Falcons

There's things that happened in this game with this offense where they got really big plays and really good big situational plays that got them – moving the chains when they needed to that had them converting big scores, things like that, that got him in position to get points.

And that's, you know, ultimately that's the name of the game.

So from an offensive standpoint, I thought Tommy Reese was very creative today.
