While most prognosticators predicted little to worry about from the Atlanta Falcons offense, just as many were making dire predictions regarding the other side of the ball. If Sunday's solid 19-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins was any indication, the only area of concern for this squad surrounds the kicking game. The ...Published on: 5th September, 2009
As I said only a few days ago, the Falcons had to be leaning toward John Parker Wilson as third string QB. Fan favorite D.J. Shockley has been on the roster for four years, and was a draft pick of the former coaching and managerial regime. On Saturday, the Falcons made ...Published on: 30th August, 2009
There's nothing scientific about the following; just a gut feeling, and my own intuition. But there's no doubt that Chris Redman will be the Falcons' No. 2 QB, especially after he led the team from a late fourth-quarter deficit this past Saturday night to defeat the San Diego Chargers.

The problem is, reports are coming out of camp that negotiations with the All-Pro wideout have taken a turn for the worse. This is tough news for the Atlanta Falcons, ...Published on: 2nd August, 2009
If there is indeed an upside to All-Pro WR Roddy White's training camp holdout, it's that we (and the Falcons) get to see how far the team's other wideouts are progressing. Former No. 1 pick Michael Jenkins is getting all the reps with the first-team offense. Second-year man Harry Douglas, a ...Published on: 31st July, 2009
All-pro WR Roddy White was a no-show Friday when players reported to the Atlanta Falcons training camp. He was scheduled to report by 6:30 p.m., but didn't show up. He'll be fined $17,000 per day, as determined by the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. The Falcons have been in discussions with ...Published on: 30th July, 2009
