The team's lack of confidence at tackle is evident with their interest in the oft-injured tackle.
The Falcons have Jake Matthews and Ryan Schraeder available at tackle, but beyond those two they have players who are either injured or have a track record of mixed success. The team is cognizant of that weakness.
Jake Long is in Atlanta for physical and a workout with @AtlantaFalcons. He's a free agent after 2nd ACL surgery with Rams in 2014

Long is the kind of player we'd all get hyped for if this workout was taking place in 2013, even, but he's not the same caliber of player he was when he was selected in the top ten back in 2008.
