As much as I love Roddy, the Falcons definitely need to get rid of him soon. He's getting old and isn't the same player he was 2 years ago. Just not enough production. As far as RBs go...what are we likely to do? Pick up a RB in the draft at some point? Sign a free agent? I know we have Freeman but he doesn't look anywhere close to a starting NFL runningback at this point.

SJax gone, Smith and Quizz are UFA's, and I seriously doubt we re-sign both.
Freeman fits Shannahan's zone-blocking scheme much better than our man-blocking we were doing. He's shifty and can burst through holes as they open. No more lining up 8 yards behind the LoS and waiting for our OL to create a hole. There will be a lot more lateral runs and multiple cuts. Freeman should thrive in this.
Quizz should too, except he's just so damn slow, so I don't know if we re-sign him. Antone Smith is a 1-cut back, but he can get in space ridiculously fast. Although he is recovering from a broken leg, so not sure about him either.
I'd like to pick up CJ Spiller in FA and then draft a big back like TJ Yeldon or Mike Davis around the 4th round. But I'm pretty certain we're going to draft a RB at some point no matter what.
