Maason Smith is already validating the Falcons’ Ruke Orhorhoro trade

Blogging Dirty argues that defensive tackle Maason Smith is quickly proving the Atlanta Falcons right for trading Ruke Orhorhoro to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Writer Clint Goss highlights that despite modest box score numbers, Smith's disruption and pocket-collapsing ability have been vital through the opening three games of the season.

According to the article, Atlanta general manager Ian Cunningham traded Orhorhoro for Smith in April to add size along the interior defensive line. Goss notes that Smith has secured a starting spot and posted strong pass rush win rates, while Orhorhoro has served as a third-stringer in Jacksonville.
