Falcons Trench Talk, Week 3: OL collapses, DL battles against Lions

The Falcons offensive line collapsed against the Lions in Week 3, leading to a loss despite the continued strong play of the defense as a whole. Join Kevin Knight and Jordan Watkins as they break it all down on the third episode of Trench Talk.

Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of the Dirty Birds and Brews podcast! We’re kicking off a new series this season, as I’ll be joined by fellow Falcoholic contributor and former Stanford defensive lineman Jordan Watkins for a trench-focused game review show. We’ll be bringing you an in-depth breakdown of the play of the offensive and defensive lines each and every week this season!

The Atlanta Falcons offensive line collapsed against the Detroit Lions in Week 3, leading to a loss despite the continued strong play of the defense as a whole. Hosts Kevin Knight and Jordan Watkins take a closer look at Atlanta’s trench play, including the struggles of Matthew Bergeron and Kaleb McGary, how the OL play affects Desmond Ridder, and the surprisingly steady play of the defensive line.
