What if the kid finds his calling and has just been used wrong for the first few years of his career.  I'm trying desperately to find the silver lining here.  If anything, it might just be a precautionary measure.  He's not going to get time at DT, so run him through some OL drills starting now just to be safe.  Not a bad decision.  Doubtful that he ever actually sees any time there, unless, of course, he wows the coaches.  We need bodies for the OL, and Fua, doing nothing otherwise, provides that.

I know enough about football not to freak out over practice drills.

Pretty safe bet Fua will still be inactive on game day. But people on here are acting like he was named the starter at right guard.

You know as well as I do that he shouldn't even be on this roster to begin with. Therein lies the joke of this whole thing.

yeah, Chandler did this last year.  Didn't mean he was our starter last year.

I'm talking about signing a decent vet guard.

 

We could sign Jake Scott off his couch for minimum right now. Yes, you can say there must be a reason he didn't get signed. But even still; Sione Fua. At guard. You can't tell me that's better.

OK, it's time for obvious statements: all that's going on is that we're down a number of linemen and Fua was asked to stand in during drills so our new starters don't have to take more snaps than they're conditioned for. Fua isn't seeing the field as an OL, this isn't some conspiracy, it's basically "hey, fat man, stand here and help us finish our drills."

Pretty much.

EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      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?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      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)
