Out of all the reassuring things I could have heard today, the fact that Alex Mack is not practicing is not among them. The Falcons badly need their star center for this upcoming final game against Carolina, but it now seems possible they won’t have him.

Dan Quinn has said Mack is questionable for Sunday’s tilt with the Panthers, and he wasn’t out there practicing during the portion of the day open to the media. The team also spent time with Ben Garland at center, another indication that they think there’s a legitimate chance Mack could be out.

kawann short right now.

Butler had a ridiculous move for a sack against the Bucs that was called back due to a phantom face mask call when he took James down. I think he's gonna blow up these playoffs for some reason.

He looked awesome in the preseason.  The cheap shot vs the Texans set him back, but I agree, watch out.

Yeah that was impressive. Big Vern is showing flashes of turning into a real force at DT

Out of practice 2 days... don't think so for Mack I'll be blitzing run up the middle on every 1st down

As this team is so good at scheming to exploit another teams weakness I'm sure it will result in a big advantage for us.

 

Not.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
