Yeah, I think it is a mistake to Draft Freeman as a #1 RB as the split is definately going to be closer to 50-50.
Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan said the team will "go with the guy who's hot" at running back this season.
"Whoever's rolling with it, you stick with him," said Shanahan. "When they need a break, the other guy comes in. You try to keep them both fresh to see how it pans out at the end of the game." While ESPN Falcons reporter Vaughn McClure said he still considers Freeman the "workhorse," Shanahan's words suggest otherwise. Coleman lost the starting job to Freeman after suffering a rib injury last season but now he's back and ready to cut into Freeman's workload. With Coleman nipping at his heels, Freeman projects as more of an RB2/3 going forward. Sep 9 - 10:29 AM
