On Wednesday Andy & Randy were joined by Audacy NFL Insider Brian Baldinger who helped break down the Atlanta Falcons 27-26 Week 1 loss to their hated rival, the New Orleans Saints. The conversation turned to the play of the Falcons offensive line and more specifically Cordarelle Patterson’s performance behind that offensive line.
“What did you make of the trench play from the Falcons?” Andy asked.
“I thought the offensive line played great. I mean I have never seen Cordarelle Patterson play like that before. I mean I know he has played running back there for a little bit in spot duty but he is the full time back and he looked like it. He is their (Falcons) version of their Derrick Henry,” Baldinger replied.
Patterson had 22 carries for 120 yards and a rushing touchdown in the Week 1 loss while adding 3 catches for 16 yards. Patterson is coming off a career year in 2021 with the Falcons where he totaled 1,166 yards and 11 TD’s on the season.
