Atlanta Falcons: 5 Players to Watch at Titans
By John Buhler

The Atlanta Falcons traded for LG Andy Levitre from the Tennessee Titans in the final weeks of the 2015 Preseason. Atlanta had to give up a pair of future, late-round picks to acquire the veteran guard from Tennessee.
With the way that the Titans’ fan base reacted after Levitre’s trade to Atlanta, it seemed that Tennessee was happy to see Levitre go. However since coming to Atlanta, Levitre has been a key cog in the rapid improvement of the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive line.

What I believed Atlanta liked about Levitre was his inherent durability and flexibility to play in different blocking schemes. One would have to believe that Levitre will want to play his best against a former team of his that essentially gave up on him.
Expect QB Matt Ryan to have little to no pressure coming at him from the blind side. Atlanta should have a great time running the football left of center in Week 7, as Levitre will play a stellar game at left guard. No doubt he will have one of the better grades from Pro Football Focus on the Atlanta Falcons this week.
