FLOWERY BRANCH -- After four practices, we must tweak the Falcons' training camp depth chart, pushing Damontaee Kazee, who's off to a great start, up to the No. 2 slot at free safety.
We still have Wes Schweitzer and Ben Garland bracketed at the starting right guard spot. Falcons offensive line coach Chris Morgan is rotating them and will continue to so through at least the third exhibition game.
An area of concern is the backup tackle spots. None of the tackles behind Jake Matthews and Ryan Schraeder have any NFL experiences. National Scout Phil Emery was intensely watching tackles Andreas Knappe and Will Freeman work on their foot work on Sunday.
Falcons coach Dan Quinn has been mixing and matching the linebackers, but when we saw the first-team defense from over in the fan section LaRoy Reynolds was at weakside linebacker.
Here’s the updated depth chart.
