The Atlanta Falcons became painfully one-dimensional on offense over the last few seasons. While the running game has been among the best in the NFL, the passing attack has been mostly putrid since 2022.
Without a starting-caliber quarterback on the roster, the Falcons leaned heavily on that ground attack under former head coach Arthur Smith. Smith’s offenses may have been predictable, but he deserves credit for developing Atlanta’s offensive line into a top-tier unit.
Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary thrived in Smith’s run-heavy system and both players were paid handsomely as a result. Lindstrom has begun to rack up accolades in recent...

Pointer: "It's been good so far. We know each other very well. How each of us play. I think we're good all across the line but we're trying to get better. Coach (Dave) Cohen, he's just trying to get us better in the run game and the pass. Not relying on the other players in the back making the tackle, we have to be the first ones there. He's on us real good, but at the end of the day he loves us, he wants to see us at our best and do our best. We gotta take that coaching and motivation he gives us and just work."

Wake Forest defensive tackle Kevin Pointer talks expectations and more

Expectations might be too high for these squads. College football is a zero-sum game, and as such, not every team can exceed expectations. For every breakthrough season, there is a step backward or a program that plateaus. While every fanbase clings onto its team's most exciting characteristics and relishes in offseason optimism, the reality is that some squads will fall short of their goals. Those with glaring weaknesses are at the greatest risk.
