Stefanski on Penix being under center more: That's different, but there's also a lot of similarities to things he's run Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Stefanski said putting Penix under center more is different but carries similarities to concepts he ran in college and the pros. The adjustment follows his first full week of first-team reps earlier this month.

Why it matters: Atlanta sits at 2-4 after two straight losses, with offensive operation central to stabilizing the season. Keeping carryover concepts from Penix's past could shorten the adjustment to the expanded under-center package.

By the numbers: Penix: 67.0 ESPN QBR, ninth in the NFL through Sunday's games.

What to watch: The next game will show whether Atlanta's under-center rate rises and how the offense operates from those looks.
