Greg Knapp’s role in Falcons’ offensive scheming might be larger than realized Column maestro Jeff Schultz rightly points out in his newest piece for The Athletic that Atlanta’s Super Bowl chances will come down to OC Steve Sarkisian’s maturation. Indeed Youth Terrell McClain Jersey , he’s right. That’s the bread and butter of where this team goes, and as he rises, so will the Falcons.This paragraph caught our eye, though. That feels important. We knew Knapp would be helping in pointing out the coverages, but the way Schultz words this makes it seem like much more of a partnership than a supporting role. If Knapp is doing this now, it must mean this is what Sarkisian was doing by his lonesome last season. We’ve long wondered what Knapp’s addition secretly meant for this offense, and this clip might reveal what we’ve long speculated. Knapp might be an unsung co-offensive coordinator. Now Authentic Matt Ryan Jersey , it’s important to note Sark will still be calling the actual plays themselves, though how Knapp dictates the defensive looks will influence what Sark feels comfortable in calling up. That’s key. Knapp’s ability to size up a defense looks now to be just as imperative as Sark’s role in drawing up the plays. We don’t want to kick up a fuss and say any of this is brand new intel, though the way Schultz casts a frame on the coaches makes it seem like it’s quite potent for Knapp to be reading these defenses right. It makes you wonder if that was the key issue last year with Sark. He knew the right play to call; he just didn’t know how exactly to match that with what the best defenses were cooking up. The team will now rely on Knapp for this necessary step. That really sounds like he’s got a good bit of sway over where the offense goes this season. He sounds like the starting point to where the play calling winds up.Falcons RB Devonta Freeman has bone contusion in foot, status unclear Falcons RB Devonta Freeman has had injury struggles since the end of the 2017 season, and sadly, the buck hasn’t stopped with his Pittsburgh return.NFL insider Ian Rapoport dropped the unfortunate news that Freeman’s got a bone contusion in his foot. So between the 2017 struggles with concussions, the knee problems that got at him to close last season Womens De'Vondre Campbell Jersey , the knee problems that held him out for three weeks this season, and the new bone contusion in his foot, Freeman’s had a rough patch of injury problems as of late. We won’t speculate now what that could mean for the future, but I can provide some insight on a contusion. I’ve got one in my knee right now (long story), and it’s painful. They heal up quickly, but swelling and problems with mobility and comfort are clearly issues once they first happen (at least they were for me). It’s good that Freeman’s able to get some work in on the side, as he’s far tougher than your Weenie Hut Jr. Falcoholic scribe is when it comes to getting hurt Womens Mohamed Sanu Jersey , but contusions seem like these just take time, rest, and care to heal. It’s entirely possible, and perhaps even likely, that Freeman will miss yet another game this week. If he does, the Falcons have proven they can keep the offense rolling without him with Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith taking the bulk of reps and Brian Hill waiting in the wings if needed. It’s another bummer piece of injury news for a struggling Falcons team, though at least it’s at a position of sterling depth. Here’s wishing Freeman well as he gets better http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/robert-alford-jersey , and here’s hoping he can get back on the field for good, injury-free, very soon.
