In the third quarter of last week’s win over the Giants, the Falcons started a drive with four consecutive runs to Mike Davis. Those four runs translated into 29 yards. It made you wonder why the free-agent signing hasn’t been utilized as a bigger focal point of this offense.
Although the drive fizzled out, the emphasis on running the ball with Davis was encouraging after an abysmal first half. The Falcons ended up playing better in the second half, leading them to victory, albeit with a helping hand from a Giants team that can’t seem to hold onto interceptions or stop committing appalling penalties.
