Oy. That’s an 8 win team at best. That OLine sucks (on paper) and surprise so does the secondary.

Hell so does the RB group. That could be a problem for a HC that just had Derrick fricking Henry.

OLine depth is terrible. LG is still up in the air. Matthews, Hennessy, Lindstrom, and McGary are all solid to good but there’s no room for injuries.

I think the secondary has promise. Grant will be the highlight and Hawkins has a year under his belt. The veterans they brought in have had highlights in their careers but overall I still think the secondary is a project that has promise.

I'm bullish on Javian Hawkins. I think he'll surprise some folks with limited touches.

Might even reach cult status similar to that short little dude from FSU a few years ago (Antone Smith?)

I think he will make it. His college OC is now the Falcons OLine coach.

This is going to take a few years to clean up the cap situation.

I'm excited to see how we use Cordarelle Patterson. I've always liked watching him play. Versatile.

I just dont see this HC and Matt Ryan working out. This HC seemed to love running the ball with Derrick Henry and then play action passing to his TE and any short downfield open receiver in TEN.
Now, maybe that’s all he had to work with but it sure as shite is the opposite of what we have in Atlanta. This could expose him as a great HC and maximizes talent OR we’re fricked without a power rb and dominant oline

Play action timing routes has always been the strongest part of Matt's game.
