Can Atlanta Falcons' new offensive line additions improve their run game? Week 3 All-22 Review

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons face many challenges to their ground attack amidst injuries along the offensive line. Host Aaron Freeman reviews the All-22 film from the team's Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs to diagnose why the run game wasn't working. Will the return of guard Elijah Wilkinson and center Matt Hennessy help alleviate depth concerns up front? How long will center Drew Dalman (high-ankle sprain) and right tackle Kaleb McGary (MCL sprain) be out? He breaks down why the play of the wide receivers was problematic for the team's run game against the Chiefs.

Later, he looks at how defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake tried to slow down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes by mixing up his coverages. He discusses the team's struggles to generate pressure and why Matthew Judon wasn't featured more. He breaks down what went wrong with the run game and whether it's owed to Lake's scheme or questionable play from linebackers like Troy Andersen. Finally, he discusses tight end Kyle Pitts not being featured outside a few plays against the Chiefs, and how and why the Falcons (wrongly) choose to feature wide receivers Ray-Ray McCloud and Darnell Mooney. #atlantafalcons #kansascitychiefs #all22
