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.
Arthur Smith clearly struggles with talent and you can see it across the board.
He can’t get anything out of Pitts, London and Bijan. Imagine what McVay, McDaniel, Shanahan could cook up with those three.
Run Bijan properly and then actually use him as a decoy in play action. Using him as a decoy every play without ever actually using him in the way you’re “faking” is just ridiculous.
Smith talks about his 50% RZ conversion but that’s be higher if times worried about Bijan. Then your TE end around might actually work.
