Falcons offensive line coach Chris Morgan believes that his unit can improve immensely in 2016.
Here’s what he had to say about the unit recently to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Q: How are the guys practicing?
A: "Guys are working hard."
Q: How’s the chemistry coming along in the trenches?
A: "It's good. We are taking steps every day. The more these guys play together … we are still moving guys around a lot, flipping sides, seeing who can play where. We have a long way to go, but they are working hard.
Q: Looks like you’re playing musical chairs at the guard positions?
A: "It's going good. We have a lot of competition inside. We are looking at all those guys. Every day is a battle here. Every day is a competition. We try to make it as hard as possible. Those guys are getting shots. We're going to find the combination of the best five and roll."
Q: How are the tackle working?
A: "Every day is a grind. They are learning. They are coming along. But we've got a long way to go. We've got a lot of work to do everywhere. The tackles, still have room to grow. All of them. Jake (Matthews), Ryan (Schraeder), all of us. Every single day.
Q: What’s it like having a pro out there like Mack?
A: "It's pretty good. You see the toughness. You see the experience. He's still learning a couple things and how we do everything. Working together with the new guys. How everybody is fitting together. It's a good process. We are moving forward and getting better every day."
