Why Kirk Cousins and Falcons' offense aren't clicking so far

When the Falcons opened the season with a home loss to the Justin Fields-led Steelers, it felt like the sky was falling. Doubly so when details of the loss came out: Kirk Cousins took exactly one snap from under center and didn't execute a single play-action fake. The offense was neutered by Cousins' limitations coming off Achilles surgery on his right leg -- he couldn't move much in the pocket, and in fact, moved less in the pocket in that game than he ever had in his career.
