Matt Kalil's been pretty good lately. Against the Eagles, he made one or two boneheaded plays, but I'm surprised tbh. Upgrade over Oher imo.

But we need to cut off with Daryl Williams. Put Moton in.

As Zod pointed out players who have been on this line for years don't know WTH they're doing right now. Long term I think Kalil may be OK.

In all honesty is could be because Ryan Kalil is out. He really was the leader of that unit. With that said it's not going to solve our play calling and personnel issues.

Interesting point, I hadn't thought of before. Not inconceivable, based on other situations (Bersin). 

When you think most of our FAs signings were former Panthers too... We didn't even talk to any other tackles. Just doesn't seem like DG.

Both of them are  good, it's the interior OL that has been stinking it up lately.

We knew signing Matt Kalil was a risk. He was ran out of Minnesota after being a top 5 pick for them.. You don't get rid of franchise young LT's..With that being said, I thought it was a questionable signing and never had huge expectations for Kalil. He has actually performed better than I thought though, so I'm not going to be a Kalil hater.  Those who expected him to be a Pro Bowl LT, well that's you're own fault

    • 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)
