Some noteworthy Arthur Smith moments in Atlanta.
1). Was entirely responsible (along with GM) and trying to lure Deshaun Watson from Houston. The deal was done, but Cleveland swooped in the last minute, offered an additional first round draft pick and fully guaranteed his contract.
2). As such immediately pissed off franchise icon, Matt Ryan, and had him request a trade.
3). Drafted Desmond Ridder
4). Started Desmond Ridder
5). One time in an important football game against Tampa, the falcons had it on fourth down on the opponents 2 yard line. Rather than hand the ball to Tyler Algier or Bijan Robinson, he ran a jet sweep to a tight end, who then threw to another tight end, and the pass was incomplete and we lost by 4. Neither the passer nor the receiver on that particular play was Kyle Pitts.
