Newly hired Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson made a bold prediction that the team's offense will be a top-5 unit in the NFL in 2026, after the unit struggled in 2025. Robinson said the Buccaneers will be "attacking at all times" with pre-snap motion, tempo, and an aggressive approach to get the offense back to the high-powered levels it reached in 2024 under previous OC Liam Coen.

Why it matters

The Buccaneers' offense was one of the league's best in 2024 but took a significant step back in 2025, ranking in the bottom half of the NFL in several key statistical categories. Robinson's confident prediction to return the unit to an elite level puts pressure on him to deliver and turn around the team's offensive fortunes after a disappointing season.

“Hey, we're going to be attacking at all times. That is going to be our number one thing. We are applying pressure to the defense every single snap through pre-snap motion, tempo, you name it, we will be in full attack mode at all times. And the guys are going to come back, and it's going to be a lot of fun to get working with the fellas and get this thing going.”
