The Atlanta Falcons are committed to improving their run game this season, and they will be hoping Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman can be the players to do this.
It was a bad start for the run game in the preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans, although neither Freeman or Coleman featured in the game due to hamstring injuries. Antone Smith, who started in their place, also went down with a hamstring issue during the game.
The Falcons want to achieve balance on offense, and there are a ton of benefits to running the football successfully.
