Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris struck a balance between praise and accountability following the team’s latest performance. While reaffirming his belief in rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr., Morris emphasized continued growth. “He played well. We can get better,” Morris said. “He’s doing a really good job as a young player in this league, especially at quarterback.”

However, the coach’s tone shifted when addressing Atlanta’s recent special teams miscues, calling them “very correctable” but unacceptable moving forward. Morris made clear that attention to detail and execution must improve immediately. As the Falcons work through growing pains with a young signal-caller and new systems, Morris’ message remains consistent: progress is good, but precision is mandatory.
