Falcons move on OL

[DrReality]

Curious if you guys think the moves they have made over the past week or so amounts to much.

That guy we got from the Chargers looks ENORMOUS!!!

They are small-ish looking moves, but I think they signal that the front office is not satisfied with the o-line. McClure's threat to hold out probably played a big role in getting Newburry.

Building and upgrading depth.

We still need to find a backup LT. I guess they are waiting on cuts in preseason.

Good to see TD continue shaping this roster. Hope they all fit together.

They were talking on the radio the other day that we had very few injuries last year, which is rare. And for us to continue on this tragectory of winning we have to stay healthy, or have the quality backups to step in.

Mortenson was on the radio yesterday and said that the Falcons 'hit the lottery' with Ryan. Thatn he is the real deal and a franchise player. Also talking about how he hasn't gotten the big head and done a bunch of endorsements but is keeping his head in the game. Sounds very good. Can't wait to see him with Ganzales.

The Falcons offense could set records. I don't know how other teams are going to defend them. The talent across the board is solid, but add in a QB that can run the no huddle it is going to be a nightmare for opposing teams.

The Falcons could have their base offense in there: Turner & Mugs in the backfield, White, Jenkins, and Gonzalez as receivers/TE, and run a ton of formations. Putting them in the no huddle to keep the defense from switching out will create a ton of mismatches as the Falcons go down the field.

The big question is, can the defense at least stop some teams, some of the time?

We've got to play some ball control so we can rest our defense.

The key is keeping Abe healthy and fresh throught the season.
