3) Improve the interior offensive line

The Atlanta Falcons arguably had the best tackle duo in the NFL with Jake Matthews and Ryan Schrader but their interior line wasn’t very good.

Mike Person was awful, Andy Levitire was penalized what seemed to be every other play and Chris Chester was so-so.

In order to match the success of a team like the Panthers, Matt Ryan needs a clean pocket and that won’t be happen until the Falcons can clean up the interior part of the line.

A player like Alex Mack comes to mind in this years’ free agency class and will likely be targeted by the Falcons. Person has got to go, folks.
