The Atlanta Falcons have made it crystal clear that they want to run the ball more effectively in 2019. Running more is not necessarily welcome, given that the NFL’s best offenses tend to not grind it out on the ground, but running well would be a huge plus for this football team.
It would be fair to say that a lack of improvement from 2018 would be grounds for Dirk Koetter to be launched into the sun, given that Devonta Freeman missed almost all of the year, the Falcons were shaky at best on the ground, and the offensive line was only an asset for the team very early and very late in the year.
