Submit ReviewAtlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said he didn't want to play musical chairs at quarterback but did exactly that by naming Taylor Heinicke the starter once again ahead of the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. With Desmond Ridder heading to the bench for the second time this year, host Aaron Freeman breaks down why it's not only over for him but also how this ends any trust the team could have in Smith being the coach beyond 2023.
Later, he breaks down the questionable game plan and play-calling from Smith against the Carolina Panthers in Week 15. He discusses Bijan Robinson being an afterthought on early downs and how the team's subpar blocking hamstrung the offense. He also breaks down the Falcons decision to switch things up in the secondary before diving deeply into the other problems that the Falcons have to solve beyond just replacing the coach and quarterback.
