Wells, Packers expected to go separate ways in free agency
It’s not often that teams move off in a different direction from a starting offensive lineman coming off a Pro Bowl season, but all signs are indicating that the Packers are set to do just that with center Scott Wells this off-season. According to Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Packers and Wells are [...]

27 September 2011
The Week 3 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers can be summed with just one word: “Wow.” That is what Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said after the game in the locker room when he read the stats sheet and saw that Tampa Bay held the Falcons to just 30 rushing yards [...]
Continue reading...Falcons flying high with Ray Edwards in the fold
29 July 2011
One player that somehow avoided serious discussion this week is defensive end Ray Edwards, who is coming off a solid run in Minnesota, establishing himself as a capable defender against both the run and the pass. That led many to believe he’d be a hot commodity once free agency got started, but after watching most of [...]
Continue reading...Falcons not worried about injury to Turner
19 September 2010
When Atlanta’s standout running back Michael Turner hobbled off the field in the second quarter with a groin injury, a collective gasp likely went up among the Falcons’ faithful, as the loss of Turner a year ago was a big part of their inability to make a return trip to the post-season last fall. But [...]
Continue reading...Game Predictions – Cardinals @ Falcons
19 September 2010
This game should be one of the best on the early slate tomorrow afternoon, with both clubs capable of putting up big numbers offensively if given the opportunity. I expect the Cardinals to be a bit sluggish at the start, given the travel and time zone differential, but as the game progresses, they should amp [...]

16 September 2010
This off-season has been a trying one to say the least for both the Chargers and their embattled wide receiver Vincent Jackson. First came the news that Jackson would not be eligible for free agency, with the NFL owners and Player’s Association unable to reach an accord on a new collective bargaining agreement, keeping hundreds [...]

1 September 2010
This time of year can be enjoyable for some and miserable for others, as teams are beginning to decide who to cut from their roster to meet the 53 man maximum by Saturday’s deadline. While most of the players sent packing this week tend to be unknowns, brought in for the sole purpose of providing [...]

22 August 2010
In a move to add a bit more depth up front to their offensive line, New England has traded away an undisclosed draft pick to Atlanta to acquire offensive guard Quinn Ojinnaka, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post. Ojinnaka isn’t likely to find his way into the starting lineup any time soon, [...]

16 April 2010
For many fans, mixed martial arts (MMA) runs a close second to the NFL, with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pitting the some of the world’s best athletes against each other in a controlled fight inside an eight-sided ring, with no exits. Always eager to stay one step ahead of their competition, several NFL players [...]

7 March 2010
Sun @ 10:50 pm – Just a quick update. The deal between the Lions and Falcons is still pending approval from both sides, and is not yet official. Apparently, things will be finalized later on tomorrow, according to Schefter. My apologies for jumping the gun too quickly… 7:35 pm – Two days removed from hauling [...]
Continue reading...Robinson flying high with Falcons
5 March 2010
Prior to last season’s trade deadline, Atlanta made a strong push to acquire Houston cornerback Dunta Robinson, but fell short in the end and missed the playoffs, thanks in large part to a porous defense. So it comes as no surprise that the number one priority for the Falcons this year was getting Robinson into [...]
Continue reading...Falcons re-sign Redman; Robinson on the way?
5 March 2010
Atlanta kicked off the free agent frenzy earlier tonight when they agreed to a new contract with backup quarterback Chris Redman. The deal is worth an estimated $5.6 million over two seasons, and gives the Falcons a reasonably seasoned player to stand in the gap should Matt Ryan go down with an injury for any [...]
Continue reading...Quick Hits – Saints at Falcons
13 December 2009
This was another close call for New Orleans, but once again they found a way to win when it mattered most. The Saints now have an all important first round bye and remain two games ahead of the Vikings for home field advantage in the NFC. QB Drew Brees and Co. definitely aren’t showing any [...]

11 December 2009
11:00 am – Team officials released a short statement on Babineaux’s arrest… “We are aware of the situation concerning Jonathan Babineaux and are in the process of gathering information. Because this is a legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.” 8:20 am – The Falcons beleaguered roster took another hit this [...]

1 December 2009
The one constant in the NFL is change, and no one knows that better than kickers, who often find themselves attached to a short leash, even those that have proven themselves time and time again. Jason Elam found that out the hard way from Atlanta earlier today, as he was released by the Falcons in [...]
Continue reading...Ryan out in Atlanta for the time being
30 November 2009
The Falcons got good news today, receiving word from their medical staff that the injury suffered by QB Matt Ryan in yesterday’s win over Tampa Bay was turf toe, and not something more serious, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer. Ryan will apparently see a specialist to address the issue, but at this point he’s [...]

20 November 2009
When Atlanta RB Michael Turner went down with a ankle injury last week, many fans of the Falcons feared the worst. Without him in the huddle on offense, Atlanta’s scoring potential would take a major nosedive, as Turner’s ability in the run game opened the door for the Falcons passing attack to succeed. But just [...]
Continue reading...Falcons evaluating Elam; replacement in the works?
3 November 2009
When a kicker misses two field goals in a single game, bad things usually happen, and in the case of Falcons K Jason Elam, it’s not likely to be much different. In his regular press conference earlier today, Atlanta’s head coach Mike Smith stopped short of announcing a move on that front, but he did [...]

5 August 2009
9:25 pm – Adam Schefter of ESPN.com is reporting (via Twitter) that Douglas has a torn ACL in his knee and will likely miss the entire season as a result. This is a huge blow to the Falcons offense, especially with White still fighting it out with the front office. 4:50 pm – The Falcons [...]
