"Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson will move down to the sideline from the coaching box moving forward, head coach Raheem Morris said Monday. The Falcons offense has had a rough start to the season and the team was shut out by the Carolina Panthers, 30-0, on Sunday in Charlotte. Robinson and QB Michael Penix Jr. seemed to have some communication issues in the game, compounded by Penix's headset audio going in and out during the first half."
"Penix had the worst game of his young career, throwing two interceptions, including his first career pick six. Morris said the team decided to get Robinson down to the sideline will bring "cleaner communication." Penix, usually cool and calm, was visibly frustrated during the game Sunday. "We definitely hold some responsibility in those things, and we'll go out and do those things," Morris said. "We'll correct those things this week. We'll correct them throughout the process.""
The Falcons moved offensive coordinator Zac Robinson from the coaching box to the sideline to improve communication. The offense was shut out 30-0 by the Carolina Panthers after a rough start to the season. Communication issues arose between Robinson and quarterback Michael Penix Jr., worsened by Penix's headset audio cutting in and out. Penix threw two interceptions, including his first career pick-six, and finished 18-of-36 for 172 yards. He has one touchdown this season, a 50-yard score to Bijan Robinson; no wide receiver or tight end has a touchdown reception. The team has scored one touchdown in its last eight quarters, and head coach Raheem Morris acknowledged responsibility and pledged corrections.
