Matt Ryan wants a group approach at running back

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said that he prefers a committee approach at running back.

What It Means:

Of course, he isn't calling the shots, but it's an interesting take given the running back battle between Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.

Freeman was one of the least efficient running backs since 2000 last year, according to our Rushing Net Expected Points metric, and fewer than 25 percent of his carries added to the team's expected point total. To be precise, his Rushing Success Rate of 24.62% was the second-lowest mark among backs with at least 60 carries since the turn of the century.
