Due to crowded depth charts Takkarist McKinley Men Jersey , cap charges, or just the vagaries of Falcons roster construction, these five players may not be here come September."With the draft dust settled, the next great frontier for the Falcons will be the roster battles, which will allow the team to trim down from 90 players to the mandated 53 in early September. Here in the early going, the draft and late free agency have given us a clearer picture of which veterans might find themselves fighting for their roster lives this summer. Here are five to keep an eye on. RB Brian HillThe writing is more or less on the wall for Hill, who probably needs to snag the fullback job to stand a chance of sticking. The Falcons drafted Qadree Ollison for his size, physicality, blocking skills, and straight line burst, and those are more or less the same boxes Hill ticked when the Falcons drafted him in the fifth round a couple of years ago. With a new offensive coordinator in town, Ollison is clearly intended to be Hill’s replacement and the #3 back at worst. That doesn’t leave Hill much of a chance. TE Logan PaulsenSome will argue for Eric Saubert’s inclusion here, but that doesn’t feel particularly sensible to me. Saubert is still young, still has some upside, and came on as a blocker late in the year, making him a solid third option at worst.Paulsen had a fine year for Atlanta in 2018, but the team already signed Luke Stocker, who also blocks well, is arguably a more productive receiving option, has a little positional flexibility as a dabbler at fullback, and has played under both Dirk Koetter and Mike Mularkey. Austin Hooper is obviously locked in as the starter and Alex Gray and Jaeden Graham are still lurking as young players who have been marinating on the practice squad, so it doesn’t feel like Paulsen’s chances of sticking around are that great unless this team has really given up on Saubert. G Wes SchweitzerI wouldn’t assume that Schweitzer is a mortal lock for a roster spot, even with Brandon Fusco gone. The Falcons have been curiously (some would argue ridiculously) against the idea of Schweitzer starting, trying to supplant him again and again with players like Fusco and now James Carpenter, Jamon Brown, and Chris Lindstrom. Schweitzer has shown himself to be at worst a passable starting option Color Rush Takkarist McKinley Jersey , but the Falcons just bulked up in a serious way at guard, might find low-price veterans out on the wire later on, and could roll on with Adam Gettis or Sean Harlow as their fourth option to save money. Schweitzer, remember, is in the final year of his deal and could be cut for about $2 million in cap savings.I don’t think you can argue that he should be cut on merit, but roster construction and cap savings could still see him shoved off. DT Ra’Shede Hageman Hageman was going to be on the bubble regardless of what happened in the draft, given how crowded the position is, but he figured to have a leg up on the likes of Mike Bennett, Justin Zimmer, and so forth. With the addition of John Cominsky, who the team envisions as an inside-out player early on, Hageman may very well be pushed off relatively early. This team has Grady Jarrett, Tyeler Davison, Deadrin Senat, Jack Crawford, Takk McKinley, Vic Beasley, Adrian Clayborn, Steven Means and now Cominsky pretty well locked in, so Hageman would have to either push hard to be the 10th DL or push his way past Crawford or Davison, which feels unlikely. S Sharrod Neasman File this one in the hope I’m wrong folder for later use, because I cannot for the life of me understand why the Falcons would want to replace Neasman. After he re-joined the Falcons in 2018, he went on to play in 12 games and stabilize the strong safety position, largely taking over for Jordan Richards and playing very well down the stretch. He’s extremely affordable, proven, and a useful special teamer Authentic Takkarist McKinley Jersey , so there’s no real reason why he shouldn’t be on this team in 2019.Yet the Falcons have, through their draft and free agency moves, signaled that he might not be. J.J. Wilcox was adding to compete for the backup strong safety job, and while he may not actually be a more well-rounded player than Neasman, he brings nasty physicality to a team that seems to be craving it. Free agent additions Afolabi Laguda and Chris Cooper are both plus athletes the team will give a genuine shot too, with Cooper in particular having a potential role due to his ability to play some cornerback. And then there’s the small matter of the team drafting not one but two cornerbacks, which might be part of an effort to have Damontae Kazee spend more time at safety where he excelled a year ago.All of that adds up to a bumpy road for Neasman. He should be able to fend off these guys in a fair fight and I’m hopeful he makes the roster, but I’m no longer 100% confident in that outcome. The quarterback took off running, only to find three defenders waiting for him at the goal line.No problem. He simply ran right over them.Cam Newton?Nope, Matt Ryan.Ryan threw a pair of scoring passes, which wasn’t all that unusual, and also ran for two touchdowns for the first time in his career, leading the Atlanta Falcons to a 31-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.“I can’t remember the last time I had two TDs,” Ryan said with a smile.Newton was rocked early on by cheap shot from Damontae Kazee , who was thrown out of the game for the helmet-to-helmet hit while the Panthers quarterback was sliding at the end of the run. Newton was able to stay in the game, throwing a pair of touchdown passes, and he had one last chance to send the game to overtime.From the Falcons 31, Newton lofted a pass into the end zone for D.J. Moore, who was double-covered and let the ball slip through his hands as time expired.“I had a good shot at it,” Moore said, “but it just came down too fast.”While Newton rushed for 42 yards, it was Ryan who had the most significant impact with his legs.After scoring on a 1-yard sneak that pushed Atlanta (1-1) to a 24-10 lead early in the third quarter, Ryan delivered the biggest blow with a gutsy scamper midway through the fourth quarter. Looking to throw on third-and-5 from the Carolina 8, he spotted a running lane to the left and took off.There were three Carolina players waiting for him at the goal line 鈥?including 346-pound former teammate Dontari Poe 鈥?but Ryan leaped in the air and bowled them all over , falling across the goal line for the TD that restored Atlanta’s two-touchdown lead over the Panthers (1-1).“I didn’t want to slide in that situation or go down because you don’t know where you’re going to be marked,” he said. “I felt something below my feet Takkarist McKinley Jersey Boys , and just went up the best I could. It was a good decision.”Ryan finished 23 of 28 passing for 272 yards, a performance that took some of the heat off offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. Roundly panned for his play-calling last season and in a season-opening loss to Philadelphia, he got a bunch of people involved.Eight players caught passes. Six ran the ball including Tevin Coleman, who gained 107 yards on 16 carries filling in for injured Devonta Freeman.Just like that, the Falcons resembled the high-scoring team that made it all the way to the Super Bowl two seasons ago with Kyle Shanahan as the coordinator.The most telling possession for Atlanta came with the first half winding down. Ryan completed six straight passes to five receivers 鈥?none of them, amazingly enough, Julio Jones.Tight end Austin Hooper had two catches for 15 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown with 22 seconds remaining that gave the Falcons a 17-10 halftime lead .Backup receiver Marvin Hall had a 30-yard reception, while rookie Calvin Ridley hauled in a 22-yarder. The running backs also got into the passing game, with Coleman and rookie Ito Smith also making catches.Ridley, a first-round pick from Alabama, had his first career TD on an 11-yard pass in the second quarter.CHEAP SHOTThe Panthers were livid about Kazee’s hit on Newton, who was sliding to the turf at the end of a 10-yard run. Kazee came at him helmet-first, snapping back Newton’s head.Carolina receiver Torrey Smith raced in to deliver a shot that sent Kazee to the turf, also drawing a personal foul penalty but not an ejection. Ricardo Allen jumped on top of Kazee to prevent any other Carolina players from going after him.Newton was quickly examined and returned to the field without missing a play.Afterward, he didn’t seem too upset.“This game isn’t fit for cheap shots like that, but at the end of the day you can’t blame him,” Newton said. “He’s playing as hard as he can. I’m playing as hard as I can.”BALANCED FALCONSCoach Dan Quinn wanted balance from his offense.Mission accomplished.The Falcons ran the ball 32 times for 170 yards. They threw 28 passes for 272 yards, finishing with the second-most total yards (442) of Sarkisian’s 20-game tenure. Even more important, they scored on all four trips inside the red zone, a longstanding issue.This was the fifth time the Falcons have scored at least 30 points under Sarkisian, compared with 13 times in 19 games during the 2016 season. They have yet to score 40 points under their current coordinator; Atlanta did it six times in Shanahan’s final season.INJURY REPORTThe injuries continued to pile up for both teams, which already were dealing with several missing starters.The Falcons lost starting left guard Andy Levitre to an elbow injury, while backup defensive end Derrick Shelby left with a groin injury.Carolina had a pair of starters in the secondary go down: strong safety Da’Norris Searcy (concussion) and cornerback Donte Jackson (hamstring).UP NEXTPanthers: Return home next Sunday to host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-0), who have 10 days to prepare after playing this past Thursday night.Falcons: Play their second straight home game against an NFC South rival when the New Orleans Saints (1-1) visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium.___
