The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with offensive improvements being a focal point. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson discussed the team's performance and areas needing enhancement during a recent media session.

Robinson emphasized the importance of scoring more points, stating, "It's difficult, because the biggest thing about this league is to score points, and we're not scoring enough points." He noted that while the team moves the ball effectively, they struggle to convert drives into touchdowns. The Falcons have averaged 309 yards per game but only scored five touchdowns in four games.

Robinson believes minor adjustments could significantly impact their offensive success. "It seems like we're just this close on a lot of things," he explained, indicating small errors need correction.

Staff member McFadden highlighted Robinson's reflection on coaching strategies: "Yeah, I think we'll always continue, as coaches, to look in the mirror and say, 'Are we giving the guys the right answers all the time?'" This introspection aims to enhance execution consistency throughout games.

Subhan focused on running back Bijan Robinson's potential. Zac Robinson expressed optimism about his capability for explosive plays: "He's a threat at any time to have an explosive play which is huge for a running back." Despite recent modest performances, there is confidence in his ability to contribute significantly.

Waack reminded readers of Zac Robinson's first season as a play-caller and Kirk Cousins' debut as Falcons quarterback. Both are adapting to new roles within the team. Waack praised Robinson's accountability and willingness to learn from experiences: "You're always learning things about yourself, about your players."

The Falcons aim for improved offensive performance as they face critical NFC South matchups.
