Changes are being considere

ATLANTA (AP) — d on Atlanta’s offensive line after Matt Ryan was sacked six times in the latest of the Falcons‘ three straight losses.Coach Dan Quinn said Friday backup linemen Zane Beadles and Ty Sambrailo could have bigger roles as the Falcons try to find better protection for Ryan and improved run blocking.The Falcons (4-7) ran for only 26 yards on 16 carries in their 31-17 loss at the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. Atlanta was eliminated from the NFC South race and would need a dramatic turnaround to revive its fading wild-card hopes.Ryan and wide receivers Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley lost fumbles in the red zone. Quinn said those turnovers and the play on the line of scrimmage were the “the two biggest factors in the game and that part of our game needs a lot of attention and focus.”“Obviously when you have a run game performance like we did 2019 Marcus Green Jersey , there’s a lot to look at and a lot that needs our attention because that was considerably below the line,” Quinn said. “That was also the big thing in pass protection.“To have the six sacks and have the run game that we did, that’s not going to get the job done.”The Falcons have lost starting guards Brandon Fusco and Andy Levitre to season-ending injuries. Quinn said replacement starters Wes Schweitzer and Ben Garland don’t deserve all the blame for the struggles against the Saints.“It was a little bit spread around,” Quinn said. “If it had just been one area we’d have tried to address it as quick as we could.”Beadles was signed on Oct. 30 and has worked at tackle and guard in practice the last two weeks. Sambrailo has been the team’s swing tackle.Quinn said he and offensive line coach Chris Morgan have discussed options on the line.“We’ll revisit it again on Monday,” Quinn said. “I’m certainly not pleased with the results of where we were yesterday, but I haven’t made a final decision of who or what or if there are going to be changes. It’s definitely something we’re looking at to try and make sure we’re playing at our best.”Ryan also threw an interception.“I thought we did some good things offensively, but when you turn the football over four times against a really good football team that’s playing with a lot of momentum, that’s too much to overcome,” Ryan said after the game. “We need to be better than that as we move forward. We’ve got an extended weekend here to get some rest Marcus Green Atlanta Falcons Jersey , but also to take a look in the mirror and find ways that we can all be better and that’s what we need to do.”The team’s dire playoff outlook won’t affect plans to have linebacker Deion Jones play when he is available.Jones came off injured reserve last week after missing two months with a broken right foot. He was inactive against Dallas last Sunday and again was held out against the Saints in what Quinn described as a close call.The Falcons will try again to have Jones active on Dec. 2 against Baltimore.“I’m hopeful that we’ll have him in the lineup,” Quinn said. “I know he was very close. The fact I think he is that close, that he’s ready to help us win, I think he’ll be out there.”Freeman also still has a chance to return for the final two regular-season games.The Falcons also have lost both starting safeties for the season. The Stone Mountain native also will be watching the draft from home."Just a week ago, most everyone was talking about Montez Sweat as a first round pick. Heck, there was a widespread expectation that he’d go in the first ten picks of the draft, possibly ahead of our own Eric Robinson’s favorite Brian Burns. Either that’s changed or teams are trying to get a bargain, and either way, Sweat is dealing with an enlarged heart. The likes of Gaines Adams Youth Marcus Green Jersey , the former Buccaneer who died of a heart attack due to his condition, and Nick Fairley, who enjoyed a strong career, have also dealt with enlarged heart. It’s the kind of condition that puts teams on high alert, because it has to be managed and there is obviously the potential for it to be fatal, however remote that possibility may be. I think there will still be teams who take the Stone Mountain native in the first round, but there are also teams who have reportedly taken him off their boards entirely, and I would not be at all surprised to learn that was the truth. I don’t know where the Falcons stand on Sweat, but I do know that if they’re not scared away by his medicals Youth Terrell McClain Jersey , he has the talent to be an absolute steal in the second round. If the team goes the route I expect them to go and nab an offensive lineman in the first round, Sweat in the second would be about the best case scenario for a team with long-term needs off the edge. For now it’s merely a possibility, but if we get to the end of the first round and Sweat’s still hanging around, I’ll allow myself to entertain the possibility that the Falcons might come away with a top prospect in the next round. Oh, and speaking of Stone Mountain, that’s where Sweat will be during the draft instead of with the other top prospects. It seems like we’ll start seeing more players spending the night with their friends and family rather than being at the draft itself, which is fine by me.
