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.
Bijan has 404 snaps to Tyler’s 229 and has started every game over Tyler (when healthy). He’s on the field 75% more than Tyler. He’s very clearly the RB1.
Tyler has only had more carries than Bijan in 3 of the 9 weeks so far. And one of those weeks Bijan was injured (week 7, nfi). Bijan has 41 targets to Tyler’s 16.
Also, Tyler has 20+ lbs on Bijan making him the back for short yardage situations, which may contribute to a lower YPC.
Using Bijan as a decoy is criminal usage.
Allgeier only has 5lbs on Bijan, I don’t know where you got 20+ from? They’re listed at 220 and 215, respectively
