The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for the 2025 season with a strong running back lineup. As training camp approaches, attention is focused on Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, who have been pivotal in establishing one of the league’s top rushing duos.
Bijan Robinson enters his third year with high expectations following a standout season where he amassed 1,887 total yards. “We all want it. We’re all waiting for that Saquon type of season when it comes to explosives,” Robinson stated. He has been working on enhancing his ability to make explosive plays, which could be crucial for the Falcons’ offensive strategy under coach Zac Robinson.
Tyler Allgeier is also in the spotlight as he approaches the final year of his rookie contract. Known for his second-half performances, Allgeier has contributed significantly to the team’s success over the past two seasons. The team faces decisions regarding his role and potential increased field time this fall.
A key strategic question is whether Atlanta will continue its emphasis on outside zone runs. In previous years, they led the league in outside run plays under former head coach Arthur Smith. With Dwayne Ledford coordinating the run game alongside Zac Robinson, there may be adjustments ahead. Observations from other teams like the Rams suggest a shift towards inside runs could enhance explosive play opportunities for players like Bijan Robinson.
As training camp unfolds, these questions will shape how Atlanta’s running backs contribute to their overall game plan in 2025.
