Andy Levitre has yet to play a snap at left guard for the Atlanta Falcons, but he will come week one against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Falcons elected to make a trade with the Tennessee Titans last week to bring in the 30-year-old guard to fill a big hole on the Falcons’ line.
Levitre has been very successful at running in a zone-blocking scheme, a scheme that the Falcons have implemented for the 2015 season. Levitire was very successful while with the Buffalo Bills, but struggled with the Titans due to the different blocking scheme. The Falcons are hoping that Levitire can return to his old form and anchor the Falcons run game.
Run-blocking – 7/10
Pass- blocking – 5/10
Overall – 6/10
