Curveball Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 How do you see the offensive line shaping up? Let's say we lose Clabo. Who do we sign and what do you think the depth chart will look like using all of our linemen and new FAs? We will have Baker, Svitek, Blaylock, Johnson, Hawley, McClure, Dahl, Reynolds, Bruggeman, Valdez, our 7th rounder, ????? Who do you cut? Who goes on PS? Do you sign some more UDFA for camp bodies?

falconsfan84 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I really hope we lose Dahl instead of Clabo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 As soon as Dallas drafted T Smith, Clabo's chances of remaining a Falcon doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_Hal Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Blalock will still be a restricted free agent. If we hage to pick between losing Clabo or Dahl, I hope we keep Clabo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris30277 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I think adding Mike Johnson last year and Andrew Jackson this year really forshadows us letting go of a Guard if we have to over Clabo. Jackson sounds like he is a Dahl clone anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*TMo* Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Pencil in Garrett Reynolds somewhere on the right side of the line. He's the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hage to pick between losing Clabo or Dahl, I hope we keep Clabo..what if we resign Clabo and Dahl and tenure Blalock to a 2nd round price. You think someone would bite? We could then recoupe an extra pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Pencil in Garrett Reynolds somewhere on the right side of the line. He's the real deal.Why do posters here alwayse say that ? He has proven nothing.I hope we keep Clabo and Dahl. The right side of the O-Line is the strength. Don't mess with it. If we had to lose 1 I'd pick Dahl simple b/c G's are easier to find the T's.I hope we have some preseason games so guys like Hawley, Johnson, and Reynolds can get time on the field to be evaluated.

etherdome Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 OL priority ranking:ClaboBlalockDahlI think we can all see Dahl leaving. Nothing against Dahl, but I feel that our replacement will be a better player. Although I would not be happy about it, I also think that Blalock will go. IF we can re-sign Clabo, we will have veterans sandwiching our new additions:Baker - Johnson - McClure - Valdez - ClaboBy 2012, I believe McClure will be allowed to go and Hawley will take over. Baker will play his last season with us under a one year contract (RFA).By 2013, we should have Baker's successor ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not to say he is just as valuable being we just upgraded our pass game tremendously just have JJOnes running routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
