brown bomber Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 9) Devonta Freeman, RB, Atlanta FalconsThe arrival of new Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan could help Freeman crack the 1,000-yard mark as a first-time starter. Shanahan is installing a zone-based running scheme ideally suited to Freeman's talents as an explosive one-cut runner on the perimeter. Although he could share the workload with rookie Tevin Coleman during the early part of the season, Freeman possesses the kind of talent as a runner that typically produces big numbers in a scheme that emphasizes efficiency and discipline at the point of attack. Considering Freeman's solid receiving skills and open-field running ability, the Falcons could unleash the slippery playmaker as a multipurpose threat this season.

MoFalconsFan56 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Freeman will be a weak dude with no second gear and get his job stolen from Coleman. Yes I'm an Indiana homer but that's what I believe until Im proved wrong. I'll gladly eat crow if necessary but I don't think it's gonna happen. I just don't see it w Quizz I mean Freeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The board seems to be split. Half of the people think that Freeman is going to have a huge year and half think that Coleman is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanSince1969 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 FREEMAN! #RAWR! The doubters will be silenced. Watch. I hope they both run for 1k and 8 TDs. 2 is always better than 1. Unless it's STDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I hope they both run for 1k and 8 TDs. 2 is always better than 1. Unless it's STDs.Me too! I might support Freeman more than anyone else here, but I have nothing but love for Coleman too. i am STOKED about the potential run game this year. We could be dangerous.

Atlfanstckndenver Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I guess I am kinda being a hater. Go Falconsyea, kinda. I think both will probably be considered successful this year. I sincerely think either one could easily crack 1k if given around 250 touches. It's all going to distill down to who is getting the carries. This will be a good problem to have.

gazoo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 FREEMAN will be the starting RB. He can run, catch and pass block and he is a great fit for our ZB scheme.I see Coleman as an outstanding complement to Freeman and they both will get plenty of carries, Freeman will unquestionably be the starter though, and he should really thrive. Coleman has such incredible exposion theres no way you keep him on the bench (unless you coach under Mike Smith) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 My man Coleman may have something to say about that. Still wish we had drafted another RB instead of Rodgers tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The board seems to be split. Half of the people think that Freeman is going to have a huge year and half think that Coleman is.In that case, I hope both halves are right. 1/2 Freeman + 1/2 Coleman = 1 huge year.
