News this week that O line stalwarts Nolan Laufenberg and Parker Ferguson have signed free agent contracts with NFL teams is an indicator that the Falcons have some work to do this year. Losing two NFL caliber players from a critical unit of a team that depends on consistent yardage in the running game is a concerning fact.
However, looking at this fact from the positive side, one has to wonder how two offensive linemen and one offensive/defensive lineman from a G5 team who were overlooked by all P5 teams could develop into potential NFL contributors. To me, the answer lies in the system and in the coaching.
