Quinn Ojinnaka T #76 Atlanta Falcons - College: Syracuse - Played in 44 games with 23 starts in his four-year career at Syracuse - NFL Hi-light: Replaced an injured Todd #### (who is currently injured again and out indefinitely) at right tackle at Philadelphia (12/31). Uh, Ok. Next!
Harvey Dahl T # 73 Atlanta Falcons - College: Nevada-Reno - Named to the Outland Trophy watch list in July of 2004 as one of the top 57 linemen, offense or defense, in the country prior to the start of the 2004 campaign at Nevada - NFL Hi-light - Played in his first NFL game against St. Louis on September 17, seeing action in the San Francisco 49ers goal line offense in the second quarter. Ouch! Next!
Terrance Pennington OL #64 Atlanta Falcons- College: New Mexico - Pennington played his senior season at left tackle finishing his career with 27 starts. - NFL Hi-Light - He started the last nine games of the 2006 season at right tackle for the Buffalo Bills.
Finally, at least "a little" experience. Learn the offense soon Terrance. We need you bad. I hear it is fairly simple, for better, or worse!
MOVEMENT ON THE LINE: Atlanta Falcons Coach Bobby Petrino said Quinn Ojinnaka took reps with the first team Wednesday at left tackle filling in for Renardo Foster, who was lost for the year Sunday when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Recently signed Harvey Dahl worked on the second team. The team also acquired tackle Terrance Pennington on Monday to fill Foster's spot on the 53-man roster.
It's damn frustrating to me that the Falcons can't do better than this when it comes to obtaining a decent Tackle. We have 3 million in Michael Vick's salary we are not paying out this year damn it! Spend it on a Tackle!
Joey Harrington had what some would call a snapback week on Sunday in the Atlanta Falcons 20 - 13 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. He had stretched for the last two weeks posting impressive stats against the Carolina Panthers and the Houston Texans. But against Tennessee he snapped back to his poor performance level exhibited at Minnesota and Jacksonville. What is it with him and road trips? Is he not staying hydrated on the plane?
Atlanta Coach Bobby Petrino had this to say about Joey's performance on Sunday. "I think he took a lot of hits and, toward the end of the third quarter, I felt like he wasn't completing passes that he normally completes. Offensively we're not close to what we need to be to win a game. There were a lot of missed opportunities and that's disturbing to me because I really felt like we were climbing the ladder and getting better each week... Then we took a big step back yesterday and basically got handled up front and they were the team that was more powerful and more aggressive."
Speaking of up front, do you not see that you need help on the offensive line Bobby? Petrino wasn't optimistic about a speedy return of starting left tackle Wayne Gandy. Gandy, a team captain and 14-year veteran, injured his knee in the fourth quarter and was taken off the field on a cart. Petrino said he and right tackle Todd #### underwent MRI exams Monday. I think we need some better lineman and at a minimum some healthy ones.
And with all due respect to friends of Renardo Foster, he isn't the answer.
