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.
I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I see what the Bucs O looks like. Obviously we know Penix couldn't play under center at all and Kirk was a statue so they were severely limited.
Unlike some on this board I will actually be rooting for the team this year even though i'm incredibly frustrated with them retaining Bowles.

Watch the Bucs return to the playoffs and the Glazers extend Bowles. . . . and Licht
The Red Board would explode.

I think the problem is that we know the team should be in playoffs with the roster they have had. Afterwards when they have to play solid teams... Bowles is cooked. If playoffs is fun for the glazers then a mediocre playoff team they shall get. Sad thing is we see it's capable of more. Thats why the head explodes. What else could it possibly be?
