slider Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 One bright spot on offense from last night was the play of Schweitzer at RG. He was perfect. We entered this preseason with a perceived hole at RG but I think Wes has put the worry to bed at this point. He looks great there. Flawless in this game, of course it was a vanilla offense but I think he was the star of the O-Line. Garland is a good backup to have but there was an obvious drop off when Wes came out. Question answered I think! Now it's just TE and FB. I think Reggie Davis probably locked up the last WR spot. Saubert appears lost out there so I think we're looking at Toilolo, Hooper and Perkins. FB...I'm not sure ! Very small sample size but Sark doesn't seem to use the FB like Shanny did. If you're just looking for a blocking FB Coleman's size probably wins that battle but who knows?

SkerFalcon8710 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yea Wes is a huge 6th round gem. Here's hoping harlow can redshirt like he did and be a good backup or push for the start next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't know about "perfect" but yes, he was very impressive last night. I expect he'll have his growing pains this season, but he should be at least an adequate replacement for Chester this year, and in his second season as a 6th round pick who never saw the field as a rookie, that's definitely something to be proud of.

I watched the NFL gamepass replay twice just focusing on RG. I can find no fault with Wes's play. He executed well. Good technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and Harlow is predominately a RG, so I would guess longterm goal is Wes at LG and Harlow at RG... But who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So glad the Falcon's didn't blow a high pick on an O lineman this past draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeriver Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Our starting OL might be better equipped this year with Wes instead of Chester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If Wes comes in and plays well, it's also another personnel decision that the Falcons got right. And 5 starters out of 1 draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin_Pernett Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Wes was always good. Unfortunately Harlow looks awful, and looked bad in college so guard is still a priority for me going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been impressed with Schweitzer this preseason at all UNTIL yesterday. I really thought he played well and probably won himself the starting job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Schweitzer was good in the limited snaps from the first two games but this game solidified it for people. The gap was clear between him and Garland but for some reason, because DQ didn't come out and just plainly say it, people thought Wes was not thoroughly beating Garland. It's clear. We have a RG. My only concern is when the stunts are ran, how he reacts then. But straight up, Wes is ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RG for the Titans (an all pro) was totally dismantled by the DT on the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolerspirit Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Harlow looked very good against the Cards. Not sure what C_P saw... I loved seeing him push defensive linemen around just after the play was blown dead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He executed well. Good technique. He is a smart fellow. A pre-med major.... So understanding his assignments on the OL is all good. Gets to play 'tween Mack and Schraeder. He is a mean hombre on the field. Love his attack punches either run or pass. Passion exudes. Been a fan since I witnessed his college highlights as a LT. Get some!!!!!

Yeah, but he is a much better run blocker, whereas Wes is a better pass blocker. That would typically put them on the other sides. "The aspect of Harlow's game that truly stands out is his run blocking. PFF determined that Harlow had success on 96.8 percent of his snaps in run blocking," Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
