Episode notes
Falcons Offense Needs Schematic Evolution
- The Falcons kept largely the same offense with Michael Penix Jr. and focused on continuity rather than overhaul.
- Coaches must decide whether to evolve scheme to create play-action and under-center elements to unlock Bijan Robinson and Penix.
Zone Run Success Won't Be Enough
- Atlanta's outside-zone-heavy rushing attack was extremely efficient last year but predictable.
- Without schematic creativity, sustaining that rush success and unlocking explosiveness for Bijan Robinson will be difficult.
Use Play Action To Unlock Receivers
- Improve receiver usage with play-action to help Penix and create downfield opportunities for Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
- Integrate under-center looks to increase explosive plays and diversify the offense.
