His stats actually could have been even more impressive because he had a step on the defense 40 yards downfield on one play but Desmond Ridder underthrew him. 6 Tyler AllgeierATLANTA FALCONS RB Allgeier does a great job of reading his blocks and using physicality to break through holes. He high steps through traffic and has a natural feel for pace.

He brings them in if he gets even one fingertip on the ball. Watching on replays I still don't understand how he can secure those catches and make it look so easy.

falconzfan4ever Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 London's numbers with Ridder put him on pace for 1400 yards. He's also the best run blocker out of the first round WR's. We made the right pick for this offense. I'm excited to see Pitts and London get 10+ targets a game to go along with the elite run game.

Yeah if you extrapolate his numbers with Ridder for the last four games over a 17 game season Drake would have had an all pro season. Over 100 receptions and over 1400 yards. Of corse it's not that simple but it's still interesting nonetheless. FalconJim, raysnill1, gazoo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Allgeier's stats are even more impressive when you look at games played and the increased snaps in the last ~third of the season. If we started how we ended ... bonkers rookie season. Here's hoping we can keep the line intact (possibly improve the interior) and see him really go off next year.

I think it's going to be a blast to watch us be able to shift gears. Stall and eat up clock with the run game if we're ahead, or go RPO and make chunk plays with our QB, WR's and TE's if we need to score quick.

Yeah he will get that touch back with more reps. If he can start hitting a decent percentage of those long passes, Smith will call a lot more of them. And those deep passes will really get the D backed off the LOS so our run game can continue to eat. raysnill1, Marco102, blizzard_falcon and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayOzOne Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 London and Ridder definitely had better chemistry than London and Mariota. They were dudes from the moment they were introduced in rookie OTAs. The offseason will result in them being even better together and I'm betting Pitts is happy to move on as well. Reminded me of the Jests, where Garrett Wilson played well to start the season until Zach Wilson got healthy and didn't bother to track him. Then, that Wilson screwed the pooch and Mike White and Flacco seemed to find the other Wilson again. I'll bet some receivers hate playing with certain QBs.
