Atlanta’s been slowly and painstakingly building the kind of offense Arthur Smith dreams of. There’s the many-headed hydra of a dominant running back group, receivers who block well and loom over defensive backs, tight ends who fill every niche imaginable, and Feleipe Franks and whatever dark plans Smith is cooking up for him. If this group is healthy, well-coached, and Desmond Ridder proves to be a capable starter, no one’s going to be particularly excited to face off against the Falcons.
Of course, none of that works without a quality offensive line, which is what the Falcons are hoping they’ve finally built.
