Another OT down, Weiner has surgery
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The locker room Wednesday was sane and calm, as the emotions of Sunday’s 20-13 loss to Tennessee subsided, according to my fellow beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter, who covered for me today as I was busy taking required training courses at the AJC. I’m actually blogging during a break.
D-Led also reports that right tackle Todd Weiner had arthroscopic left knee surgery today and will be out 2-6 weeks. Tyson Clabo will fill in for Weiner. That means the Falcons will have two new tackles this week vs. the Giants and for the foreseeable future. Rookie Renardo Foster takes over for LT Wayne Gandy, who was placed on IR after tearing his ACL.
Foster has done fairly well and Clabo was a solid run blocker when he started at both guard spots for much of last season. How well he handles the pressure the Giants bring could determine how long Joey Harrington remains in the starting lineup.
Sorry for the short blog, but I’ve got to do more training.
What are your thought on the Falcons’ prospects of beating the Giants now?
