Geneaut Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/a-quarterback-s-take-lindstrom-a-steadying-presence-as-a-rookie A Quarterback's Take: Lindstrom a steadying presence as a rookie Chris Lindstrom is a steadying influence, even as a rookie I thought the offensive line played one of their better games of this year. This was a defense that only given up 52 yards rushing to the Falcons just a few weeks ago, but this was a defense that was statistically getting pushed around. One thing that made a difference was Chris Lindstrom being back in the lineup. Lindstrom is a steady performer, there were a few moments when he was rusty and maybe a little off balance, but he is a very calming influence even though he is a rookie. You know what you are going to get with Lindstrom, he does his assignment and that is refreshing. Matt Gono also played well as he was a key member of the blocking scheme that allowed Devonta Freeman to break for a touchdown. Even John Wetzel, big body guy playing guard, when he got in later on in the game, he did a nice job as well. This was one of the better run blocking games this season from a unit and teamwork standpoint.

Tribal Chief Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Loved the pick when it was made. Seeing everyone mention him eventually being Mack’s replacement, if he can transition and build chemistry with Matt, he’ll be a **** of an anchor for the next 10 years if they don’t let him go Hashbrown3, Ergo Proxy, falconsd56 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It was good to see Lindstrom & McGary out there together! I intentionally noticed them, and they got worked on a little bit, early in the game....but both seemed to settle in as the game went on, especially, Lindstrom. I think we may have found us a couple of players who will be good for our O-line, for years to come ---- barring injury, of course! papachaz, kschreck and Ergo Proxy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don™ Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yeah Gono deserves the props too. Hopefully he keeps getting snaps. He could be a long term piece at guard as well. Bunchy Carter and Ergo Proxy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geneaut Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 If Gono could lock down a G position that would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconsd56 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He looked better than I thought he would.. The rest of the line seemed to have good chemistry when he was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
