ATLANTA -- When Arthur Smith took over as the coach of the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, one of the principle traits his teams with the Tennessee Titans carried -- part of what made him an attractive candidate -- was his team’s efficiency.
Particularly in the red zone.
No one scored touchdowns in the red zone better than Smith’s teams in Tennessee the two years he was the Titans’ offensive coordinator. If Tennessee reached the red zone, the Titans were going to find a way to score. Translate that to Atlanta and the team Smith is trying to build.
