How will the Falcons' offensive line shake out now after Sam Baker was released?

We've had a couple of days to process the Sam Baker cut. Does this change things for the offensive line?

I'd like to say that releasing Sam Baker two days ago changed everything for the Falcons, but that's not strictly true. The team couldn't possibly have been counting on him for a starting job coming off such a major injury, so Jake Matthews and (insert right tackle of your choice) were probably safe. It does, however, potentially have repercussions down the depth chart. If you thought Baker might play guard, you've got to re-calibrate your expectations there, too.
