‘Deshaun Watson Looks Better Without You’ — Pro Bowler Gets Brutally Honest About Kevin Stefanski After Falcons’ Horrific Start
Kevin Stefanski’s first season with the Atlanta Falcons has become a difficult one to explain. The offense has struggled to generate anything consistently, while uncertainty at quarterback has made the situation even harder to stabilize.
Former Pro Bowl wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh criticized Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski on the "Speakeasy" podcast. Houshmandzadeh questioned how an offensive-minded coach could struggle to generate production from a roster featuring key talent at running back, tight end, and receiver. He specifically criticized Stefanski for Deshaun Watson's poor performance in Cleveland, saying, "Deshaun Watson looks better without you, way better without you, way better without you."
Despite the quarterback situation's uncertainty, Houshmandzadeh emphasized that Stefanski cannot use it as an excuse, pointing to the surrounding talent like Kyle Pitts Sr., Bijan Robinson, and Drake London. He also challenged Stefanski's reputation, pointing to his success in Cleveland and questioning whether the credit belongs to Baker Mayfield.
As a result, the Falcons currently sit at 0-2, with Penix set to start at quarterback in their upcoming Thursday night game against Green Bay.
