Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Arthur Smith enjoys calling a trick play, but for the Falcons, they've rarely worked, so why does he keep trying them in key situations, often with seldom-used players?
While some NFL teams may go months, or even a full season, without attempting one, it's a regular part of the game-plan for Smith to call for some sort of misdirection, including on the first drive of the Falcons loss to the Bears.
Does Arthur Smith not trust his current weapons? Does he feel the need to trick opposing teams to score? Is he just having fun? No matter what the answer is for the Falcons coach, the result of those plays simply haven't been positive enough for him to continue to call trick plays in key moments.
