Yes we had many needs, but OL is make or break. As for Silatolu, not everyone was particularly high on him even when he was healthy.

Next offseason does nothing for this season. We have the talent to win now. But this team will only go as far as our OL takes us.

Silatolu wasn't perfect but was looking better than last year early on.

Through 8 games, we've done way better than I would have predicted with what we have.

As far as injuries, evwrybody has 'em. Nobody has a crystal ball to see 'em coming.

after he flops on offense I'm looking forward to seeing them test him out on the cheerleading squad

 

Ron would give him shots at QB before he would cut him. At this point I could see a scenario where Ron looks for reasons to bench Cam to get Fua out there.

I don't know, not being a professional scout.

If I were, you can bet I would have a list of all o-linemen sitting at home, playing in the CFL or Arena leagues, and of course the approximately 50 to 60 o-linemen on other teams' practice squads.

Saying nobody else is doing it so why should we is taking the easy way out. Not everyone has the same needs we do while still being more than 10 million under the cap.

Everybody has a list.

Nobody thinks anyone on it is worth signing, and that includes teams with injury situations like ours.

But people here think it's just us...

That's definitely debatable.

 

We are entering the tough stretch, we will see what the OL is really made of.

      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)
