Matt Schaub has brought veteran leadership to the Falcons’ locker room Black Brian Poole Jersey , as we’ve repeatedly been told, and a strong grasp of Kyle Shanahan and Steve Sarkisian’s offenses. He’s a coach holding a clipboard but ready to get into the game if something should happen to Matt Ryan, and perhaps it’s no coincidence that Schaub’s time in Atlanta has directly coincided with two of the best years of #2’s career. When I put it that way, the case for re-signing Schaub seems evident, and then it’s not a surprise that Dan Quinn indicated at least a casual level of interest in doing just that on Friday. Of course, the flip side to this is that has to do with Schaub the player and Schaub the expense. The veteran has cost the Falcons $9 million over the last two seasons, and he has thrown exactly seven passes for 20 yards total and fumbled once in that span. That’s about the going rate for a top-flight backup, and Schaub hasn’t looked like one of those on the field for a long while now. During the 2018 offseason when the Falcons were strapped for cash, it was hard not to think that Schaub’s dollars might have gone to more productive ends. The Falcons have been blessed with one of the better, healthier quarterbacks in the NFL over the last decade-plus, but at some point they’re going to want to seriously explore the possibility of putting a quarterback behind Ryan who could win a game or two if waste matter hits the air conditioner. That may or may not be Kurt Benkert, big-armed erratic and current practice squad member http://www.authenticsatlantafalcons.com/cheap-robert-alford-jersey , but it almost certainly is not a soon-to-be 38-year-old QB, either. I’d love to see Schaub transition into a coaching role with the team he began and ended his career with, but I definitely do not want to see the Falcons rolling into a critical offseason and signing over $4-plus million to Schaub again to be Ryan’s backup. We’ll see what the offseason brings, but don’t be shocked if Schaub gets a one-year deal worth $2-3 million to do exactly that. Quinn’s comments, however mild, and the team’s recent history suggest it’s a real possibility. Your favorite article of the week is back and better than ever. Also, and more importantly, disrespectful blocks of the week is back. Last week I was out of town and away from my editing software, but I’m back home and we have an amazing video for you today highlighted by the even more amazing Quenton Nelson block that went viral on Twitter — and inexplicably earned him a fine.But before that, let’s discuss some of the most impressive offensive line play from Week 10.The Colts are making sure Andrew Luck stays uprightThe Colts have invested heavily in their offensive line: three first-round picks and a second-round pick since 2011, including Quenton Nelson at sixth overall this past draft. Nelson won offensive rookie of the month for October! An offensive guard! How crazy is that? It seems to be paying off, too. The Colts line hasn’t allowed a sack on Andrew Luck in four weeks and during that time has found its run game as well. They have a surprisingly interesting matchup this weekend against the Titans Youth Devonta Freeman Jersey , who rank near the top of the NFL in plenty of defensive categories. The Seattle Seahawks are starting to get back to their Super Bowl formNow, they aren’t winning the Super Bowl this season, but the formula is back: rushing the football and playing defense. But let’s focus on the offensive line because that’s what we’re here for. They rushed for 273 yards on the road against the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 10 loss and then 173 yards in a Thursday night win over the Green Bay Packers. Over the last eight weeks they have rushed for an average of 176 yards and have reduced their sack totals. Offensive line coach Mike Solari, in his first season back with Seattle, deserves credit, but so does the front office with the addition of J.R. Sweezy and D.J. Fluker.The Giants OL is starting to put things togetherThe Giants have struggled upfront most of the season. It hasn’t been as bad as social media would like you to think, but it hasn’t been excellent either. The Rams cut Jamon Brown last month, and the Giants signed him to play right guard. It seemed to have helped as their offensive line played their best game of the season this past Monday night in a win over the San Francisco 49ers. Eli Manning was only sacked once and generally speaking, he was upright most of the night. Manning also led them to his 36th career game-winning drive. Coincidence?Now let’s take a detour over to college footballI’m a proud member of the Joe Moore Award voting committee that determines the most outstanding offensive line unit in the country. It’s the only award in college football that’s for an entire unit, and our voting committee takes our reasonability seriously. We study the film and have daily and weekly conversations to discuss what we have seen. There are six factors we judge the units and they are toughness, effort, teamwork Youth Alex Mack Jersey , consistency, technique, and finishing. Our semifinalist list will be out this Tuesday, Nov. 20, so pay close attention to my Twitter feed. You can find more information on the Joe Moore Award website.Quenton Nelson delivered the most disrespectful block of the seasonNelson’s block on Barry Church deserves the No. 1 spot in Week 10, but Terron Armstead, Ali Marpet, Trai Turner, and Andrus Peat all earned shoutouts, too.Check out the video below or on my Facebook page. It’s wonderful.
