Offensive line

According to Pro Football Focus, the Falcons offensive line ranks No. 1 in penalties callings, No.2 in run blocking and No. 11 pass blocking. Those numbers are a huge improvement from last year’s and should continue to gradually improve in the next few weeks.

Jake Matthews has been the best of them with a PFF grade of 80.4. Though the team has made mass improvements, some changes can be made preferably at the center position. Starting center Mike Pearson is still a upgrade from last year but there is room for improvement. There have been too many poor errors at this position.

Grade: A-
