Falcons not worried about injury to Turner
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 [...]

Sunday, September 19, 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 [...]

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.

Friday, March 5, 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 [...]

There is a growing consensus around the league that believes that former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher is ready to make a return to the sidelines next fall, and while there have been several speculative reports with him potentially landing in Chicago, Carolina, and Washington, thus far Cowher isn’t talking.
