The O-Line in the Falcons game

When I was watching the game I noticed that on just about every run play in the first quarter the hole were huge and Betts would gain about 5 to 8 yards. How many of the plays where Betts would gain 5 or more yards do you think that Portis would have busted loose and took it to the house?

To me it just seems that if Betts had more experience he could have done that on a couple of thoses run plays.

Who knows but lets not forget that Atlanta's defense fiinshed 32 out of 32 teams in defense. Which means we should have dominated them and we did.

That's true. But we did let up the fewest sacks in the NFL this preseason! That say's alot considering to the way the O-line played last year.

Also, don't forget that those holes were opened up without Samuels, Thomas, or (of course) Jansen. We'll just have to wait till Sunday!

I truely believe we have the potential to have one of the best o-line in the league this year. Guys need to play to their potential though. And i'll say it right now, break out player of 2004 big Dockery. God I wish we still have Jansen for the year.
