It would be safe to say that the Zac Robinson and Kirk Cousins press conferences on Thursday were the most hotly anticipated ones of the week. The pair had combined for one ineffective game plan and one pretty woeful quarterbacking performance, so we were all eager to hear what they’d say about the Steelers game.
The Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator and starting quarterback did not exactly surprise us. Instead, what we got was a shared mea culpa where both men pinned the offense’s struggles on themselves, while also making it clear that A) heavy use of the pistol is a feature we can expect to see and that B) Kirk Cousins is healthy.
