Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson is excited about his new partnership with quarterback Kirk Cousins, despite the fact that they have never worked together before. Robinson believes that Cousins’ experience working with other coaches will be beneficial in their collaboration.
In recent years, Cousins played in an offense created by Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Rams. Robinson, who was on the same staff at the time, expressed that having a shared background with Cousins is a “comfort” because of how much he can remember from past offenses.
According to Robinson, Cousins has a strong ability to quickly read defenses, which will be valuable for the team moving forward. Although there are still some new concepts for him to grasp, Robinson believes that Cousins’ experience working with other coaches will enable him to seamlessly transition into the Falcons’ offense.
The Falcons have struggled with inconsistent quarterback play in recent seasons, which prompted them to bring in Cousins. The hope is that their shared background with previous coaches will enable Cousins to apply what he’s learned to the Falcons’ offense and make a significant impact on the team this coming season.
