Burning questions: Will Dirk Koetter have a real run game?

Atlanta’s passing game is expected to be incredible in 2019 — Matt Ryan is an elite QB who’s coming off of a season where he just threw for 4,924 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions, while registering a passer rating of 108.1. Julio Jones is the best wide receiver in the league, and is part of an unbelievable WR trio at Ryan’s disposal. But what about the other side of the offense? What about the run game?

The Falcons had a stellar passing offense last year as well (fourth-best in the league), but the total offense failed to reach their maximum potential because of the team’s 27th ranked rushing attack.
