Guess we can Czech that free agent need off our list. Ha!
The Falcons picked up Will Svitek, a Stanford University graduate and Kansas City Chiefs draft pick who just so happens to have been born in another country. All these headlines are talking about him like he just flew his zeppelin over from Prague , when in reality he's just got the Czech background. It's kind of like calling me Norwegian journalist Dave the Falconer.
But I digress. The important thing here is that the Falcons are looking for a diamond in the rough, and it absolutely never hurts to look for guys you think might have some upside. There's not a real track record for Svitek, but with Weiner gone the Falcons have to start looking for his replacement right now. If we have 10 right tackles competing in OTAs, so be it.
Any thoughts on the Dispassionate Czech?

Svitek
Probably not a good sign that the Chiefs didn’t want him, but I agree that they’ll probably bring in a couple handfuls of OL guys just to see if any stick.

Nope not a good sign, but Will was not on the Chiefs roster last year, he was released during the pre-season.
Especially with all our O-line problems we still didn’t want him.
Plus he’s a hot head, and had a lot of incidents with teammates during training camp.
Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.

Sounds like a guy we already have
Maybe him and Dahl can be our new “bash brothers” …
