The notion that Arthur Blank got his hands dirty in the Falcons’ roller coaster 2019 offseason is a pervasive one, one that he’s taken pains in recent comments to dispel. There’s little question, either way, that Blank asked for the Falcons to fix the offensive line, and the team’s expenditures there gave them both a solid foundation for the future (Chris Lindstrom, Kaleb McGary) and proved to be a disastrous waste of resources (James Carpenter, Jamon Brown).
Now it appears the Falcons are teeing up to address the offensive line yet again, which is both useful information heading into free agency and confirmation that the Falcons royally screwed up in free agency last year.
