Mayfield Backs Zac Robinson to Revive Buccaneers Run Game After Drop From Top 5 to 20s

Summary
Baker Mayfield said Tampa Bay's rushing attack should rebound under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson after falling from a top-five unit in 2024 to the league's 20s last season.
Robinson's prior play-calling experience and a renewed emphasis on zone runs, gap-puller concepts and getting skill players involved are central to that hoped-for turnaround, Mayfield said.
Mayfield also pointed to offensive line injuries as a major reason the 2025 ground game stalled, calling health up front the starting point for any revival.
The comments extend a longer Buccaneers pattern: Mayfield previously blasted the 2023 run game, which ranked last in yards per carry, before a 2024 overhaul briefly fixed it.
