What will Falcons offense look like under OC Tommy Rees?

The Atlanta Falcons hope their new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will help the team reach its full potential on the field. Rees is expected to make significant changes to the offense, shifting away from the pistol formation that former offensive coordinator Zac Robinson relied on extensively. Instead, Rees plans to have the quarterbacks work more under center and emphasize the play-action passing game.

This change should benefit the Falcons' quarterbacks, Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix, as it aligns better with their skill sets. Both players could potentially start multiple games this season, depending on the team's performance. Meanwhile, the veteran running back Bijan Robinson, who thrived in the wide zone scheme, will still receive ample opportunities to accumulate yards and fantasy points.

Rees' first major challenge will be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers' formidable pass rush. The Steelers' defense is widely regarded as one of the toughest in the league, and it will be crucial for Rees to find ways to protect his quarterbacks and maintain consistency on offense. The upcoming matchup against Pittsburgh will serve as a critical test for Rees and the Falcons' new offensive approach.
