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.

New Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski is starting to build his new staff, and his first major hire is a reunion with offensive line coach Bill Callahan, per team reporter Tori McElhaney. Callahan, 69, is one of the most respected OL coaches in the NFL. He has coached for nine different teams, including Stefanski's Browns from 2020 to 2023. In 2024, he followed his son and then-Browns offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, to Tennessee when he was hired as the Titans' head coach.

It has been inside me that long. I tend to focus my writing on humans and the spirit within. So writing about concrete and steel felt like a no go. Like I'm going to write a song about a car next? But of course cities are made by humans so they are human, too.
