Yes, he’s holding out because it’s the last year of his rookie contract and he wants to get things stright before getting out on the field.  That’s understandable.  Many fans are making this situation out to be that White is lazy and selfish and doesn’t believe in team football.  Most football players would like to [...]

Tony Gonzalez and his Goal Post Dunks

The best tight end is coming to Atlanta and will help the offense in the red zone.  The Falcons were proficient with their running game inside the 20-yard line, but their passing could use some help.  A fade route to Roddy White isn’t a bad option at all, but [...]

The votes are in and Harvey Dahl, Guard of the Atlanta Falcons, is the meanest in the NFL.  Yes, that means we are deep in the heart of the off-season for writers to ask around about things like this, but Dahl has won the honors. 
He has worked his way up in the NFL through trades [...]

The best thing about the Atlanta Falcons’ veteran purge on defense the past couple years is that they are turning back the clock and turning up the talent.  Despite the name value of guys like Keith Brooking, Grady Jackson and Lawyer Milloy, they were past their prime and not in the team’s plans down the [...]

Starters: Michael Turner, Ovie Mughelli, Matt Ryan.
All Matt Ryan did in 2008 was start from day one, lead Atlanta to 11 wins and win the Rookie of the Year award.  The sky is the limit with all the weapons on the offensive side of the ball in 2009 and beyond.  Michael Turner silenced all the [...]

Starters: Roddy White, Michael Jenkins, Tony Gonzalez.
