Falcons Uniform History: #74 is a Weiner who stands apart

Sorry, I had to.

If your quarterback is left-handed, your right tackle is your blindside protector. During the wild Michael Vick era, the man tasked with protecting one of the most unpredictable quarterbacks in the NFL was Todd Weiner, and he was damn good at his job.

Weiner hung 'em up in 2008 after starting 11 games, and he played in just eight games the year before. From 2002 to 2006, however, Weiner was one of the NFL's most underrated tackles, a man who did a phenomenal job of keeping Vick's pocket clean, whether Vick was actually in that pocket or not being moot in this discussion.
