isn't expecting moves before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.More than that Joe Theismann Jersey , Quinn says he sees no need for the resurgent Falcons to seek help from a trade.The Falcons (3-4) return from their bye week looking to continue momentum from two straight wins as they prepare to play at Washington (5-2) on Sunday."We really feel this team, where we're at and how we can go and attack from here, we have the right men to do that," Quinn said after Monday's practice when asked about the trade deadline.That's a strong vote of confidence from the coach of a team with six starters on injured reserve 鈥?including both safeties and both offensive guards.Quinn said he and general manager Thomas Dimitroff have discussed inquiries from other teams but haven't found a trade to pursue. "Not at this point," he said.Quinn and Dimitroff have been kept busy this season adjusting to the growing list of players lost with injuries.The latest challenge comes on the offensive line.Right guard Brandon Fusco suffered a broken right ankle in Atlanta's win over the New York Giants on Oct. 22 and was placed on injured reserve last week. Fusco joined left guard Andy Levitre on IR. Levitre suffered a season-ending triceps injury in a Week 2 win over Carolina.Wes Schweitzer has filled in for Levitre. Another veteran with starting experience, Ben Garland, will move up this week to replace Fusco at right guard.Garland will face an immediate challenge against a Redskins defense that sacked Giants quarterback Eli Manning seven times in Sunday's 20-13 win ."I was very impressed with the stoutness of their inside three guys," Quinn said, naming nose tackle Daron Payne and defensive ends Matt Ioannidis and Jonathan Allen. Ioannidis had 2 陆 sacks against the Giants.Garland, who started three games last season, has experience at both guard spots and even has seen spot duty at defensive tackle."I'm confident playing left (guard)," Garland said. "I'm confident playing right. Center. It doesn't matter. Tight end, fullback. Put me anywhere. I'm ready to go."The Falcons added depth to the line by signing Rees Odhiambo and Austin Pasztor during their bye week. Pasztor, who can play either tackle position, played in seven games with Atlanta in 2017. Odhiambo, who will learn the offense while playing left guard, spent the last four weeks on the Colts practice squad.Fusco is Atlanta's sixth player to be placed on IR this season, joining Levitre, safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen Ryan Anderson Jersey , linebacker Deion Jones and running back Devonta Freeman . Jones, who must sit out at least two more games, and Freeman could return later this season.The bye week provided Quinn the rare opportunity to open a practice week without having to discuss a new injury. Instead, the news was positive.Placekicker Matt Bryant, who missed the Giants game with a hamstring injury, has not been ruled out for this week. More will be known about Bryant's status later in the week. Giorgio Tavecchio was the only placekicker on the field in the portion of Monday's practice open to reporters."He's making a turn for the better," said Quinn of Bryant. "... The thing I was fired up about is he's closer than he was last week by quite a bit."Quinn said the bye week also came at a good time for wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (hip) and Calvin Ridley (ankle). "That's the good news," Quinn said, adding he was "hopeful we'll be at full strength at receiver." Hogs Haven takes a look at 2019 NFL Draft prospects that could contribute to the Redskins"Sean Bunting, CBSchool: Central Michigan | Conference: Mid-AmericanCollege Experience: RS Junior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-0 / 195 lbsProjected Draft Status: 3rd or 4th RoundNFL Comparison: Darius SlayCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewSean Bunting was a wide receiver in high school and just a 2-star prospect when he started his recruiting journey. Bunting only got one scholarship offer from a division one school, Central Michigan. The scholarship was put in jeopardy when then and now former Central Michigan Dan Enos resigned and took an offensive coordinator job with Arkansas back in 2015. Bunting had lost his scholarship as a result and could have signed with several division II schools but he believed and wanted to play in division I. The new CMU head coach John Bonomego (Now with the Detroit Lions) offered Bunting a grayshirt which he gladly accepted. Bunting started his college career at safety and did not like it. He talked to coach Bonomego about switching back to receiver. His coach told him he could be a mediocre receiver or he could potentially be an NFL quality cornerback, Bunting made the switch to corner and now he is an NFL caliber corner prospect with talk of him going in the first 40 picks. StrengthsGood size, speed, length, and athleticism for the position.Awareness throughout route is good, can time his breaks and adjustments well. Contests the catch point and is a highly competitive player.Fluidity looks good enough and his mirror ability is good. Uses his physicality to disrupt routes early and challenges timing based offenses. Excels in man coverage and can run stride for stride with most receivers. Often took away his man and looked as having potential to be a lockdown corner. He is sticky in coverage and allowed just a 39% completion rate on throws targeted to him this past season.Solid hands and has had consistent production in regard to interceptions and passes defended.WeaknessesNot a lot of production for someone garnering the level of hype he’s getting considering the conference he played in. Tackling needs a lot of improvement. He lunges and doesn’t always wrap up he can get dragged and is more of a speed bump right now than someone who is reliable in this area.Sometimes is too physical and likes to fight with receivers the entire route will draw penalties in the NFL if he doesn’t reign it in.May be limited to specific schemes in the NFL because of some of his limitations.Let’s see his work:More Sean Bunting videosHow Would He Fit On The Redskins?The man coverage corner question is at play again for the Skins. It seems like the Redskins have drafted man coverage guys in the past and have been confident that their skills can translate just as well in the many zone concepts the Redskins employ on defense. This strategy has arguably had limited success. The reality is as long as the Redskins are using a mix of zone and man coverage in their defense and they need cornerbacks who can do both. It’s up to the coaches to make sure the right guys with the right skills are in the right coverages. If there has been a refocus in this area in the secondary during the offseason we just may see improved decision making on the part of coaches. With that said while some are talking about Bunting’s future on the boundary I’m really interesting what he could do the the Redskins in the slot especially in light of his athletic testing. He would have really good size and athleticism for that role and it would allow him to play more man coverage than the guys on the boundary in the Redskins scheme. His highly competitive nature and ability in man coverage could especially help the Redskins in the area they have the most trouble with slot receivers - the redzone. I’m not so sure I believe the top 40 hype about Bunting but as I say every year, you can never have too many corners, and if he’s still on the board in the 3rd round I think the Redskins should take a look.
