Falcons Move OC Zac Robinson to Sideline to Address Communication Issues

Morris says the shift targets headset breakdowns to speed play-calls, enabling more direct instruction.

Overview

  • Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters that Zac Robinson will operate from the field rather than the coaches' box, a change first relayed by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
  • The adjustment follows a 30-0 loss to the Panthers and an offense that has produced 42 points through three games, ranking near the bottom in scoring.
  • Kirk Cousins replaced Michael Penix Jr. during the shutout defeat, underscoring ongoing quarterback uncertainty.
  • One team-focused outlet reported the move is expected to begin in Week 4, a detail that has not been formally announced by the team.
  • Analyses and fan critiques have targeted predictable concepts in Robinson’s scheme, with some observers viewing the sideline move as a modest communication fix rather than a cure-all.
