Bijan has 103 carries to Tyler’s 116.

Bijan is 22nd in rushing attempts, and is 41st in redzone rushing attempts (seriously what the actual fuck).

It is absolutely criminal his usage. Even if he was a 7th round pick, with that production, I would expect him to be RB1, but the EIGHTH pick to be used like this is shocking.

I cannot comprehend what Arthur Smith thinks is best for the team, when our 3 best offensive skill positions are basically just used as decoys.

Any Falcons fan could tell you that Kyle Pitts would be 1st team all pro on most teams, the man catches literally anything and is always open, but nah, Jonnu Smith is our guy.

    Allgeier is the every down back and Bijan is the change of pace back.

    Allgeier is the short yardage back.

    Bijan is the passing game back.

    Their use cases have reflected this and people just believe this RB concept doesn’t exist anymore even though we’ve seen it for decades.

      And that’s why the Falcons aren’t winning games. They wasted a #8 pick on an electric game breaking running back and aren’t feeding him the ball.
