The new coaching staff has replaced a 125 game starter at left guard with a free agent who has yet to start a game in his career. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
The Falcons predictably cut long-term guard Justin Blalock at the start of the offseason, an expensive and poor fit for their new offensive blocking scheme. After free agency and the draft, the only potential addition made to the guard position was Mike Person.
According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Person has been the starting left guard at mini camp.
