There's nothing inherently wrong with the pistol formation, but the Falcons are running the ball 70% of the time when lined up that way, and they're passing the ball 93% of the time when lined up in shotgun.
"We don't feel that way," Robinson responded when asked about the predictability of his offense. "I feel like sometimes when you have these types of games as coaches, you say, ‘Ok, do we need to pull back? How can we pull back to simplify and maybe we're trying to do much from a schematic standpoint.’ That's always what we're looking inward as coaches is like, ‘OK, maybe we put too much on the plate, maybe we're trying to scheme too much and we need to simplify it.’
But there is more.
The Falcons clearly use analytics when making decisions as an organization. It doesn't take a PHD in statistics to figure out 93% of the time and 70% of the time. Whether Robinson feels his play calling has been predictable or not is irrelevant.
It has been.
The good news for Robinson and the Falcons is that it's an easy fix. Chart your plays and avoid trends. I guarantee the defense is doing it against the offense.
The Atlanta Falcons have weapons all over the field, and a better run/pass balance based on formation will go a long way to improving the offense.
It took the media calling him out for him to stop being lazy and do his job. But he is the same lazy SOB like he was in ATL.
As a long time Bucs fan two thumbs down. 100% you lost me with this hire.
I think A LOT of it had to do with his limitations he had at QB.
Especially with Penix.
Interesting thanks for posting
as long as he maintains Grizz's propensity to call a run play on 2nd and 10, i will be happy
Like DH pointed out penix to baker is like a Volkswagen beatle to a jeep grand Cherokee.
That write up is after the "0" game, 30-0 loss to the Panthers. I think if you look at the Penix pick 6 in that game thats not really on the OC. They put up 34 the next week.
very hard to say either way
Dead man walking coach hire. No one worth a damn is coming here when they know Bowles is getting the guillotine next year. Bunch of losers hiring more losers.
