It can’t possibly get any worse than it was last season. That’s one way to describe the current state of the Falcons’ offensive and defensive line. Both lines were consistently manhandled and overwhelmed last season, which led to several abysmal performances. The offensive line couldn’t create anywhere near the same number of holes they did in recent seasons. Not being able to keep a clean pocket for Matt Ryan against above average opposition hindered what should have been one of the most prolific aerial attacks in the league. From Ryan Schraeder’s decline to the instability at the guard position, the offensive line struggled in all aspects as a unit.
The Falcons’ championship aspirations will depend on how much they improve in the trenches
