The Falcons haven’t cleared Julio Jones to st Antworten

art practicing yet and they saw their other starting wide receiver leave Thursday’s practice before it was over.Calvin Ridley grabbed his hamstring while running a route and began working with trainers on the field. He tried to take one more rep before calling it a day.Head coach Dan Quinn provided an update after the session and suggested he could return to action during when at some point in the next round of practices. The Falcons are off on Friday and then have four straight days of work.“He had a tight hamstring https://www.falconslockerroom.com/authentic-takkarist-mckinley-jersey ,” Quinn said, via the team’s website. “He looked good, but we didn’t want, at this space, guys are really pushing to make anything where it could go longer, so I expect him to be back on the next turn through.”The Falcons will play the Hall of Fame Game next Thursday and Ridley was unlikely to see much, if any, time in that game even without a hamstring issue. The Falcons selected Washington OT Kaleb McGary with the 31st overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. We break down McGary’s film to find out if he was worth the trade-up, and how he fits into Atlanta’s offensive line revamp."With the 2019 NFL Draft behind us, it’s time to break down the Falcons’ seven draft selections. My compatriot Eric Robinson got things started with Atlanta’s 14th overall pick, G Chris Lindstrom. Next up is the Falcons’ second first-round selection Black Austin Hooper Jersey , which they achieved via a trade up with the Rams. At 31st overall, Atlanta added OT Kaleb McGary from Washington. McGary played right tackle throughout his career at Washington, and he’ll be competing for the same spot with the Falcons—who just moved on from RT Ryan Schraeder.The McGary pick was instantly polarizing because it was perceived as a pretty significant reach, including by me. But after doing some digging—and with the persistent buzz that the Patriots were planning to take McGary at pick 32—I have come full circle on the pick. Read on for the reasons why I’ve changed my mind on McGary’s evaluation and now view him as a vital part of this draft class.Scouting Report: OT Kaleb McGary (#58), WashingtonGames Watched: Ohio State (Rose Bowl), Utah (Pac-12 Championship), @Auburn, @UtahAthletic ProfileStrengthsAggressive, physical blocker at the point of attack—always looking to pancake someonePunch has a lot of power in pass protectionAlways looking for work as a blockerImpressive athlete with good mobility in space.

His physicality, athletic ability, and football IQ all stood out—but I couldn’t get past his technique, which seemed unusual at best. That’s why I graded him out as my OT9: he was well-worth a Day 2 pick, but concerns about his “lack” of technique and short arms for the position gave me pause. After reading Cover 1’s excellent breakdown of McGary’s technique—which everyone should do, because the article explains it better than I possibly could—I began to see McGary in a whole new light.What I mistook for poor or erroneous pass protection technique was actually a completely different style of offensive line play. Calling it “unconventional” might be the best way to phrase it—because as McGary’s film can attest, it wasn’t as if he was getting beat often on film. While his aggressive pass protection style can lead to some ugly reps youth Devonta Freeman Jersey , one thing seemed to stand out about McGary: his play wasn’t always pretty, but it consistently got the job done.The aggressive style can lead to McGary getting beat off the line by speed, but it can also allow him an opportunity to recover. I highlighted a particular play on Twitter, which you can view below:Aggressive pass protection does two things that standard, “passive” pass protection does not: 1) it engages the defender earlier than normal, forcing them to adjust their plan of attack, and 2) it creates a wider pocket by putting more distance between the edge rusher and the QB. In the above play, McGary gets beat off the line, but it doesn’t end up affecting the play. The defender was forced to take a very wide angle to get around the aggressive set of McGary, which essentially forced him out of the play.With aggressive pass protection, however Stitched Devonta Freeman Jersey , you’re more likely to get beat on inside moves and can fall prey to stunts and twists. This is why it’s important for OTs using this style to have very good blocking instincts and football IQ. McGary would often anticipate his opponent’s responses to his aggressive sets, stonewalling their inside moves by waiting them out or handing them off to the guard. Here’s a particularly impressive example of McGary’s awareness as a blocker:I honestly don’t know how he saw that blitzer. Perhaps I’ll ask him about it if I ever get the chance. Until then, I’m assuming he simply sensed a disturbance in the force.Can McGary’s style work consistently in the NFL, against the most athletically gifted and savvy defensive linemen in the world? That’s the big question—but it’s not like every OL coming out using traditional technique is guaranteed success, either.There’s a lot to like about McGary outside of his technique. You can tell he’s a player that Dan Quinn would love—he’s nasty and can be downright dominant at the point of attack. I counted at least a dozen pancake blocks. His anchor is strong and he’s very good at handling power rushers. McGary is always looking for work as a blocker, making him a big factor on screens and broken plays. Here’s a particularly good example:As you can see, McGary’s got plenty of athleticism and tons of experience as a zone blocker. The one thing I could nitpick is that he doesn’t always take great angles to second-level defenders, but his punch is so strong that it didn’t usually matter.McGary isn’t a perfect prospect. He needs to improve his game against pure speed rushers. His aggressive sets have helped him in this regard, but he’ll need to keep working at it to find success against Von Miller types. Physically, he’s got great size (6’7, 318) but less than ideal length (only 33 inch arms Black Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , 7th percentile for OTs). That could give him some problems against players with truly elite length in the NFL. His frame sometimes led to issues with balance and leverage, which is to be expected when you’re 6’7.At the end of the day, Kaleb McGary is a very good RT prospect. He’s got the attitude that Quinn covets from his linemen. The run blocking chops and athleticism are there, and he’ll bring an element of nastiness to the line that fans have been clamoring for. Can his unconventional pass protection technique succeed in the NFL? Who knows, but I know it’ll be exciting to watch. If anyone can make it work, it’s McGary. Also, I submit one final scouting note—keep in mind, the following video is NSFW:I rest my case.
