and a lot of us are ripe with it. Besides, it’s slow and there’s not a lot to talk about. Most of the Panther/Falcons matchup has been analyzed to death and I’m not seeing a lot of Falcons news popping up around the place.

And if you read iRonin’s post above, you’ll realize my point. WEEMS is a terrific football name and would look fabulous on a jersey. Call it premature excitement.

is fun. Believe me, if I had the analytical skills and trained eye of a seasoned sports reporter, I’d harness them to no end.
But, that too would get boring, I’m sure, as my long diatribes against this formation or my detailed history of the use of this play or that play would end up being little more than blocks of text to scroll past.

Here, it’s all about finding the happy medium between entertainment and insight, I think. And I can only speak for myself, but most of the football talk I could contribute here has either already been said or is too basic to be enlightening to anyone.
But I am a fan and I am excited, so I post to try and share in this unexpected season of light with my traditionally downtrodden Falcons brothers and sisters, whether it’s with words or poorly edited images.

And cut us some slack if we indulge in a little too much photoplay, turning our players and coaches into mutants or 19th century tycoons: our supposedly horrid team is turning in a solid season.

My actual contribution to the thread:
I hate to see Brandon Miller go, but only because he’s a Bulldog. Still encouraging to see the team making quick decisions though, proving the Jennings boot to be no fluke. Also, Weems? I GISed the name just to see what would come up. Some artsy photos, some watches, a castle and a fairly cool family crest. I don’t know what all of that means but WEEEEEEEEMS.

I think the point here is that no one knows anything about Eric Weems.

As a WR, I can’t imagine how he’ll see the field in any capacity other than special teams (he sits behind White, Jenkins, Douglas, Finneran, and Robinson).

Can he contribute? Who knows. I don’t know who he is. If you wanna drop some Eric Weems knowledge on us, I’ll be more than happy to talk football about it, but I’m thinking this entire post, while somewhat football related, has little football substance that can be talked about by anyone other than the Falcon’s coaches and scouts.

I guess I would rather have seen a defensive player elevated from the practice squad, but regardless, at this point, it’s only a special teams player anyways, so I hope he can tackle. I hope he tackles like Lawrence Taylor. I suspect he’ll probably tackle more like Lawrence of Arabia, but I can dream.
