Gone are head coach Mike Smith and offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, replaced by Dan Quinn, Kyle Shanahan, and the zone-blocking scheme. He turned Steve Slaton into a 1,282-yard rusher with 9 TDs in 2008, and later saw Alfred Morris churn out a combined 2,888 yards and 20 TDs in 2012-13 while scheming the Redskins’ offense around Robert Griffin III’s rushing ability. The second-year back not only boasts receiving skills but also invites contact between the tackles and runs with a low center of gravity, qualities that prompted GM Thomas Dimitroff to remark during the winter that he thought Freeman could become a full-time back in the Falcons’ offense. He will enter training camp with a year in the league and a full offseason program under his belt, but like his challenger, Freeman is also adapting to a new scheme and new coaching.
