## Resource

Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Kevin Stefanski talks about not having an update to the starting QB situation just yet, if not having a QB named makes game-planning more difficult, Michael Penix continuing to progress each week, the difference between players returning from injury being cleared and actually being ready to play, how different Cooper Rush's prep has been this week compared to last week, how to get more on offense than just Bijan Robinson, what led to such an unbalanced offense in Week 1, how pleased he was with the defensive effort and focus against the Steelers, the performance of Za'Darius Smith, the in-division game against the Panthers in Week 2, and when he'd like to make a call on starting QB for Sunday.
