The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Jason Kandel argues that Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson is repeating predictable play-calling tendencies that previously plagued the Atlanta Falcons. Kandel criticizes Robinson's heavy reliance on the run game and struggles to construct efficient passing concepts, pointing out that Tampa Bay ranks 31st in EPA per pass despite effective rushing metrics.

Ahead of the Week 8 matchup between the two teams, Kandel asserts that Atlanta's defense, led by coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, is well positioned to exploit Robinson's predictable offense. With the Falcons boasting a top-tier run defense, Kandel suggests forcing quarterback Baker Mayfield into obvious passing situations could secure an Atlanta victory.
