Bunchy Carter Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We have an embarrassment of riches at the RB spot. I'm not including CP84 because I'm talking about the long term and he's getting older. I think this 1,2 is BETTER than Freeman/Coleman.

DonDaLuvMaker Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I can't really say that yet. Better than the Coleman half of the duo? Yes, but let's not forget Freeman was one of the best RBs in the NFL before injuries.

Norwood all the way! Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Little early for that claim but I can see it with a little more time. It is fun watching them both and hopefully they get even better FalconJim, ShoNuff and TheRisen999 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy it appears the Falcons do not have to spend a ton of dollars on RBs during this off-season. FalconJim and DonDaLuvMaker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say they aren't capable when they haven't been given as many opps. That just isn't how Smith chooses to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Has to be recency bias for anyone discounting just how good Freeman was before his injuries set in. I like these new guys, but they got a way to go to be better than Freeman at his peak. Maybe some day, but not today.

SwampyMux12 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 My only thought is they are both very similar runners. Sometimes it's nice to have a change of pace type guy. Duckett was huge, Dunn was shifty. Freeman was more compact and shifty, TeCo was fast AF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsJustMe Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Free and Coleman benefitted from a passing game we don't have that now. I think our two are serviceable, actually Mariota as a run threat helps them as well. With CP in there we have a three headed monster. I appreciate what the OL is doing for them this season. papachaz and PokerSteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowTimePrimeTime Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Draft Bijan Robinson. He is Free and Coleman mixed. Elusive and fast and catch like Coleman. Runs hard with vision like Free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yeah, they aren't Free and Coleman, but they are solid. No need to spend a draft pick on a RB, or sign one in FA. This year is hard to watch, but next year should be a lot more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Huntly is fine but can be upgraded easily. The fact everybody is running well on the Falcons right now is more indicative of scheme and blocking than irreplaceable RB talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
