The Falcons have rebuilt their offense on the fly this offseason. Calvin Ridley, Matt Ryan, Mike Davis, Russell Gage, and Hayden Hurst are all gone—Ridley could be back next year after his suspension, but I have my doubts—and they’ve been replaced with draft picks and free agents. The skill positions are going to look very different in 2022, with Kyle Pitts, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Olamide Zaccheaus being among the few familiar faces.
The offensive line, however, is mostly the same as it was a year ago. The Falcons have added legitimate competition at one spot, but they’re largely betting on the same group that struggled mightily a year ago to deliver better days.
