FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian met with the media on Wednesday and was brutally honest about his first year with the team.
“At this point a year ago, I was still going through a lot of the growing pains of the system, the players and learning the staff,” Sarkisian said. “Year 2 is just night and day, for me personally, just from a comfort level and where we are as a team.”
And that’s good news for the Falcons, especially their high-octane offense.
Right after the 2017 season concluded, Falcons coach Dan Quinn listed a number of areas where the Falcons fell short of expectations in his season-ending news conference, highlighting three of them: lack of explosive scoring plays, red zone offense and turnover margin.
