Taylor Heinicke will start again and increases Atlanta Falcons potential for turnaround

The Atlanta Falcons named Taylor Heinicke their starting quarterback for the second week in a row. Host Aaron Freeman explains why this potentially raises the ceiling for the Falcons offense due to Heinicke's style of play that leads to a more explosive passing game. He also breaks down how the Falcons can raise the floor of the offense by getting back to running the ball effectively rather than relying on an inefficient passer like Heinicke.

Later, he discusses concerns about Arthur Smith's job security and if he can erase them by getting the team back to looking like a well-coached unit beyond the quarterback question marks.
