The teams literally have months to prepare for the week 1. It was not enough for the Falcons.
They lost at home against the Buccaneers, thanks to a late passing pass from the quarter-Arrière Baker Mayfield at the recruit Emeka Egbuka and a basket failed by the botter of Atlanta Younghoe Koo, who would have sent the match in overtime.
The Falcons gathered only 69 yards on the ground, with 48 from running backs Bijan Robinson (12 for 24) and Tyler Allgeier (10 for 24).
So what happened to the racing game?
“They went out in a glance that we have not seen,” said Bijan Robinson, via Josh Kendall de Theathletic.com. “Our game manual has shortened, and we were trying to perform other games to strangle them. We have prepared for something completely different. It was not an effort or something like that. We were Just outdated in this game. “”
“We all shared responsibility with what happened on Sunday,” said attacking coordinator Zac Robinson, according to Kendall. “Many to clean. It was great to empty the band and go next week. Everyone knows our offensive line. We will all bounce together.”
The next opportunity occurs on Sunday evening, against a defensive line of the Vikings which was reinforced by the additions of the veteran Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen. And they will have to go beyond the defensive coordinator of Minnesota, Brian Flores, this time.
Falcons will have a problem if they cannot run the ball. Flores is particularly capable of confusing young quarters like Michael Penix Jr., who will only start his fifth career match.
