Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson is not the Atlanta Falcons coach who let the team down the most in their disappointing loss to the Washington Commanders last week. However, his play-calling choices still deserve plenty of scrutiny thanks to a lack of run-pass balance.
The Falcons were too pass-happy against Washington, contributing to the inconsistency of rookie quarterback Michael Penix, who came back down a bit to Earth after a promising debut against the New York Giants the week before. While Penix’s late-game heroics against Washington a worth highlighting, it came on the heels of three quarters of erratic play.
