RADIO.com NFL Insider Ross Tucker joined Dukes & Bell and talked about the Ravens-Browns game Monday night, is Matt Ryan really in decline, plus should the Falcons be able to run the football better than they do?
Tucker said with who the Falcons have on the field they should run the ball better than they do.
“They should be able to run it very effectively, because when you have Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones you are getting a lot of two-deep safety looks,” Tucker said. “What people are worried about is you throwing the ball deep down the field to those guys, big chunk plays. So they’re getting a lot of favorable run looks which is why they should be able to run it better than they do.
“The combination of the amount of resources they have invested in that offensive line and the favorable run looks that they get makes the lack of production on the ground very disappointing.”
