5 quick questions with offensive line coach Chris Morgan
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."
