Falcons announce Practice Squad

Thanks for getting this up, man.

He looked really good at times in preseason. But c’mon, Bear Woods will definitely have a impact by virtue of having a generally awesome name.

some of these younger guys to contribute in the coming seasons. Abraham, Gonzales, and Peterson don’t have much more time left where they can play at a high level and we don’t really have any established stars on the O-line just yet. Those 4 feel the most fluid to me and most likely to be the main areas of concentration in future drafts and Free Agency classes.

Barring any disastrous injuries, we seem fairly well stocked at the other positions with youth and promising talent which is remarkable considering the condition we were in only two years ago at the end of the Patrino-era.

is starting to make me dislike him. Honestly, how is Woods going to contribute? Reasonably, in the next couple years we can expect to see him on kickoff coverage…and thats it. Unless you have no faith in Stephen Nicholas, Spoon, and Lofton. Or you expect us to go to the 3-4. Snort of derision

I think a much more likely contributer is Jose Valdez or one of the young receivers. My reasoning: there are just so much more opportunities to get out there. I don’t think we keep Clabo or Blalock for much longer, and possibly not Dahl, depending on how much he will want. So there should be opportunities there. And we all know how much change we’re going to need at the receiver position in a few years…

Valdez may very well do the same kind of thing assuming we have problems with Hawley or Mike Johnson

But most likely right as well. I’m befuddled by our WR situation. WTF, I really believe that part of Smittys strategy to get these guys to play better is to make them trust him. He shows loyalty even given the amount of talent or lack thereof. For instance he says things like, I think Michael (Jenkins) is really developing as a reciever or, Finnerin brings a real veteran presence to our guys. Maybe he believes this approach will inspire a synergistic locker room instead of developing a fear based atmosphere. WTF am I saying? This is football get your asses out there and perform otherwise it’s your ass. We need talent out there not buble players that might help out here or there. AZ had Fitz, Q and Breaston. Cowboys have Austin, Williams and Bryant. We need to man up and make it so. If we want Finn in the L room make his ass a coach. If we want Jenks around fine but move him down the board. I did have a dream lastnight that HD turned out to be one of the leagues breakout best receivers this year. My dreams always come true.

There’s a Bear in this here Woods.

Buckley made the squad…I love his music.
