The Falcons official team website reports that coach Mike Smith is fond of running back Jacquizz Rodgers, who gained 362 yards as a rusher and added 402 yards on 53 receptions. He added a touchdown as a rusher and a receiver as well and Smith said Rodgers showed that he can handle all three downs with the offense. “We thought he was only going to be a change of pace back,” Smith said. “We found out very quickly that even though he is short, he is not little. He can handle all three downs and he does a very good job for us returning kicks."
