Blame Arthur Smith For Atlanta Falcons 17-9 Loss to Baltimore Ravens

The Atlanta Falcons saw their offense struggle under rookie QB Desmond Ridder for the second week in a row, but is that mainly on some questionable play-calling? Aaron Freeman breaks down where he thinks head coach Arthur Smith can improve his opening game scripts by featuring Tyler Allgeier more, and designing passes that get Ridder into a rhythm quicker. Then, he breaks down the defensive performance, the red-zone stops, the run defense, lack of pass rush and some recommended changes in the secondary for the remainder of 2022. Finally, he discusses what is left to play for this season and what changes we’re looking forward to in the offseason.
