"The offensive line was this team's unquestioned strength from, say, 2022-2024. Last year, we saw signs of cracks forming in that foundation, and change now feels possible with Bill Callahan replacing Dwayne Ledford. But even though one piece changes here and one pieces changes there, and injury took out a key starter, this line's continuity has enabled some pretty great ground games and keep a messy passing attack from going completely off the rails for years now."
"He's an ironman and will go down as an all-timer in franchise history, in the neighborhood of greats like Mike Kenn and Bob Whitfield. His pass protection remains very good, which has kept him on the field week after week, but his run blocking was less effective than it had been in recent years and he was hit with 8 penalties, tied for the third-highest total of his career."
The Falcons' offensive line dominated from 2022–2024 but showed signs of decline entering 2025, prompting a coaching change with Bill Callahan replacing Dwayne Ledford. Continuity across the unit still produced strong rushing attacks and helped mask a inconsistent passing game, though injuries removed a key starter. The veteran tackle remained an ironman with reliable pass protection but reduced run impact and eight penalties. Bergeron emerged as a steadily improving guard, trading a 12-penalty season for just three in 2025 and proving a capable run blocker. The line contains solid starters but may need adjustments to regain peak form.
