The Falcons need to run the ball and get Desmond Ridder on the move

The Atlanta Falcons have proven they can run the ball against anyone. Their offensive line, particularly the right side, has been dominant in the running game, so why shy away from that?

If this was earlier in the season, I would proclaim that they need to run the ball on almost every down, but we all want to see Desmond Ridder throw the ball too. So, get him on the move, even in the running game.

Run some read option plays, call some bootleg plays, and run some designed quarterback runs. He is faster than some people think he is, and it has been surprising that he hasn’t had more yards on the ground. Not to mention, the Bucs have the eighth-most sacks in the league, therefore, make them chase you horizontally.
