What he said

This Jeff Schultz interview with new Falcons’ head coach Arthur Smith ($$) contains the best definition of balance I’ve ever read:

… When Smith says he strives for balance, “It doesn’t mean we have to have 50 percent runs and 50 percent pass plays. It just means you want to keep defenses off balance. You don’t want to become obvious. Yeah, we’re going to run the football, and we’re going to throw play action at you. But if you’re sitting up there (in the box) and you know what’s coming, then shame on us.”

Hells yeah.
