I hope beyond hope that it’s Van Roten at LG and Amini doesn’t step foot on the field this season (I won’t say this year and jinx the playoffs in 2019). RT I would say Robinson and maybe Williams. I would still be shocked if Williams starts. 

I agree with all of that, especially Van Roten. Would love to see Williams start, but it doesnt make sense unless hes 90%. We are going to need him for Dallas' pass rush. Apparently his injury wasnt nearly as bad as we all thought.

Its starting to look like Williams will start.... If hes 90% I believe our offensive line will thrive...

It hasn't been officially announced but general consensus has been Moton, Van Roten, Kalil, Turner, and Robinson.

With Williams now reported to be practicing, there's a chance he could start at the right tackle spot. I just really really hope they aren't rushing him back.

In regard to Robinson, I certainly hope he's healthy. I can't think of a more dumbass move than signing an injured guy as depth to an already banged up offensive line. I'd like to think we're not that stupid.

Yeah I thought for the trade to go through he has to past a physical? O would not give up anything for a hurt player.

    • 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)
