00:00Let's touch back to what we talked about when it came to the Atlanta Falcons and their offense.

00:06They had 33 minutes and 37 seconds of possession time, 81 offensive plays, almost 30 plays

00:12more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

00:14So when we talk about efficiency, let's talk about their ability to air out the ball.

00:18I know there's some upset fans out there when it comes to the rushing yards, especially

00:22Algier and the ability to get downfield.

00:25What'd you see from the Falcons offense in terms of efficiency over like script?

00:30I mean, this is, this is maybe what people wanted to see from the Falcons in the first

00:36few weeks.

00:37And maybe it was a bit of growing pain with, uh, you know, Raheem Morse and, uh, their

00:42new OC Zach Robinson, I believe his name is name slipping from me right now, Kirk Cousins

00:46coming back from the Achilles and his, you know, he just wasn't moving well in week one

00:50against the Steelers.

00:51And, you know, it took some weeks to get things going, right.

00:55They got to figure out the balance between the running game and the passing game.

00:57They paid Kirk Cousins all this money.

00:59They brought him in for a reason, like, okay, we had a couple of weeks to get the things

01:03ironed out.

01:04Now we're kind of operating at a hundred percent.

01:06And this is what they have with Drake London should be that dominant receiver, Darnell

01:10Mooney, Kyle Pitts, Kadero Hodge, Ray, Ray, Ray McLeod playing like those ancillary roles

01:14that come in and step in when needed.

01:16And then Bijan Robinson, you know, should be that main guy coming out of the backfield.

01:20I think Tyler Algier seeing the ball just a bit too much, but you know, this is what

01:24we should be seeing from the Falcons offense, a high volume passing offense with Drake London

01:29being that number one option.

01:30And then the other option stepping up when needed.

01:34I would say he hasn't been about some of the options moving forward.

01:38I don't expect Kadero Hodge or Ray Ray McLeod to play as big role in the passing game.

01:43So if you see their lines listed at, let's say 30 or some odd in the next few games,

01:48I'm just going to be hitting numbers or simply staying away.

01:51I don't expect 60 plus yards from these third string receivers essentially on a week to

01:57week basis.
