Falcons' heavy investment in the offensive line hasn't paid off

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons offensive line coach Chris Morgan didn't try to sugarcoat anything while assessing his unit through seven games.

Asked Thursday whose performance he has been most pleased thus far, Morgan spoke volumes by keeping his response brief.

"I think Alex [Mack] is doing a good job battling through, getting the guys right," Morgan said of his perennial Pro Bowl center. "He's consistent. He's solid. And ... definitely some up-and-down performances in some other spots. We just have to continue to get better as a group."

The line wasn't good, collectively, in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, contributing to five sacks and nine quarterback hits allowed.
