Jumping on WFNZ at 7:45

Recap:

Mac: It seemed like it was the Stephen Hill show out at OTAs.  Are you buying into Hill working out or are you still skeptical?

Igo: Hill is an enigma.  He looked good, but disagree that it was the Hill show.  Instead, I believe it was the Corey Brown show.  Corey put on a clinic and it looks like he's faster then he was last year.

Jim: Do you think Corey will get more snaps at the line then Ginn?

Igo: I think he'll have that opportunity with the way he looked on Thursday.  We'll have to wait until training camp to know for certain.

Mac: How tough are cuts going to be this year at the WR position?

Igo: It's going to be the first time in a long time that whoever does get cut actually goes to play on another team.  Absolute locks are KB and Funchess.

Jim: How healthy is Cam?

Igo: Cam looked as good as he did his rookie year.  Didn't appear to be in pain.  During TC last year, he was struggling just walking off the field.  However, it's hard to be say just by watching OTAs since no pressure is allowed.  In TC, we'll be able to see how he does with his footwork with someone in his face.

Mac: What's your take on right DE?  Ealy has biggest upside, but still raw.  Alexander seems like he's getting the first shot at it.  Who do you see taking the starting spot?

Igo: I think it's Kony Ealy.  He came into his own in November.  He had lower-body strength issues during TC last year, but as he built on this, you could really see him getting comfortable.  Thinks Ealy will have a breakout season.

Jim: We can't talk football without talking LT.  Are we still wait-and-see on Oher?  Is he better then Bell?

Igo: In OTAs, it's hard to say since there is no contact allowed.  He threw in the Chef analogy.  He looks fine.  With Martin as the second string, we're in better shape then we were last year this time.

Overall, a great job, but I too am disappointed about the lack of ice cream discussion.

I was fine with the lack of ice cream discussion. Don't have a huge sweet tooth. Glad that the WR discussion was straightened out. Haven't heard a lot of talk about Kony Ealy. Interesting to hear that Igo thinks he has the best shot to start at RDE. Will be waiting to hear how he does this week. Is there contact this week or does that not start until Camp?

No contact until camp. No pads until day 3 of camp.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
