Falcons GM Cunningham calls decision to keep 4 QBs 'a little bit of an insurance policy'

The Atlanta Falcons are opening the regular season with four quarterbacks and have not yet announced a starter

SEPTEMBER 2 • Associated Press

Expected to have role at goal line The Athletic's Josh Kendall expects Robinson to have a goal-line role for the Falcons this season.

Impact "He has shown a physical style in practice that cements his role as the new Tyler Allgeier," Kendall wrote about Robinson. "Bijan Robinson fantasy managers may not like how many goal-line carries he gets." Allgeier, of course, was a thorn in the side of Bijan last season, out-carrying Robinson 19 to 17 inside the 10-yard line while matching him with seven carries apiece inside the five-yard line. Allgeier also punched in four of those seven carries for touchdowns, while Bijan scored on just two of his chances. Brian, at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, profiles similarly to Allgeier as a short-yardage, between-the-tackles, goal-line type who can get the tough yards. It sounds like he's going to have some sort of role in those situations for Atlanta this season, which could mute some of Bijan's touchdown upside.

TD, fumble in preseason finale Robinson rushed five times for 14 yards and a touchdown, caught his only target for nine yards and lost a fumble in Friday's 17-12 preseason win over the Dolphins.

Impact Robinson played the first quarter with most of Atlanta's starters as the Falcons held Bijan Robinson out of the exhibition slate. The offseason acquisition capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown run but lost a fumble two drives later, matching Tua Tagovailoa's fumble on the possession in between. Come Week 1 against the Steelers, Brian is expected to work as Bijan's top backup in an all-Robinson 1-2 punch.

Colts QB Daniel Jones Continues To Impress In Return From Achilles Injury

Gets preseason start Friday Robinson rushed twice for six yards in Friday's 27-7 preseason loss to the Broncos.

Impact Robinson played the game's first two drives with most of Atlanta's starters while Bijan Robinson got the night off. Bijan will get the lion's share of carries come the regular season as long as he's available, but Brian seems to have a secure hold on the second spot on the depth chart, ahead of Tyler Goodson, Nathan Carter, Trey Sermon and Cash Jones.
