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.
Change of pace running backs can do that. Rex Burkhead averaged almost 5 yards a carry one year, and he’s great, but it’s the system worked for them. It’s not like you can bump up his carries to 30 a game and expect the same result.
Except Bijan isn’t a CoP back. His average is much higher than Allgeier’s on almost identical carries.
