"The wide receiver corps has become a baffling mess. With Drake London parked, somebody had to step up, and this time around the Falcons basically sat Casey Washington in favor of David Sills and KhaDarel Hodge. Sills was once again a complete non-factor as a pass catcher, reeling in one reception for 12 yards, and . Hodge actually got more receptions (3) and nearly as many yards (31 to 35) as Sills and Mooney combined, which is extremely discouraging."
"The team's inability to run the ball and the offensive line's struggles makes it seem insane that Quitoriano and Feleipe Franks are not getting any run. Washington is actually an excellent blocking option who is inarguably the best run blocker in the group with Drake London sidelined and yet was parked, while Franks and Quitoriano are certainly better than Mooney, Hodge, and Sills in that regard as well."
"That should spark the team to think about using a sixth offensive lineman if it continues. We saw the Dolphins rolling with one-time Falcon Daniel Brunskill as their sixth option on about a third of their snaps, something that helped them overpower and run all over Atlanta's hapless defense. The Eagles deployed Fred Johnson as a sixth offensive lineman frequently, too, and they were dominant on the ground Sunday."
The Falcons struggled offensively with Drake London sidelined and uneven snap distribution among receivers, leaving Casey Washington underused while David Sills and KhaDarel Hodge produced minimal receiving output. Several non-targeted players offered clear run-blocking advantages that went unused, exacerbating the inability to run the ball. Opposing teams exploited Atlanta by deploying a sixth offensive lineman, enabling powerful ground success against the Falcons' defense. Adjusting personnel usage, increasing run-blocking emphasis, and considering a sixth lineman are presented as corrective measures to improve both the rushing attack and overall offensive effectiveness.
