The Atlanta Falcons have talent on the offensive line but the results from 2019 suggest otherwise. Part of that was poor coaching from Dirk Koetter, but another part of it was injuries to James Carpenter and Chris Lindstrom.
The planned starting lineup of Jake Matthews, Carpenter, Alex Mack, Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary was only together for around 100 snaps out of the 1,100 the team played in 2019.
Continuing with our roster breakdown series that so far includes running back, quarterback, wide receiver/tight end, defensive line, linebacker, defensive back, let’s take a closer look at the Falcons’ offensive line.
