Mr. Falcon (NOT to be confused with the original Mister Falcon, Tommy Nobis) has a music video where he sings about Little Mr. Falcon. Though this has nothing to do with our football heroes, I thought some of you might find this noteworthy and/or amusing. Advance apologies if I (or Mr. Falcon) offend.
Using their concept of Game Scripts - which accounts for score at any given moment of all 16 games - PFR presented the numbers for the 2012 season looking at how much of passing identity each team had. The Falcons, despite what conventional stats tell us, were actually the most pass happy offense last year: "The Falcons come in as the most pass-happy team of 2012, once you account for situation. Atlanta was a 13-win team last year, so ranking 8th in pass attempts and 26th in rush attempts despite that record requires a significant devotion to the passing game. Of course with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White, and Tony Gonzalez, that makes perfect sense." Indeed, it does.
Seventeen rookies will duke it out for an invitation to camp. Perhaps one or two will make it out.
This piece ran a couple of days ago up here in Northern VA on Brian Banks. It is worth watching/reading.
Hey all. I've been doing a football blog for a few years now and during the off season, I concentrate on the draft. I attempt to do a comprehensive draft, team by team, on what I would do as the team's GM. Check out what I've done for your team and drop a comment or two on what you think and what you might do differently. If you think it's worth a read, point others to the site that you think may be interested and come back for the other team write-ups. Also, if any of you are interesting in becoming a contributor and creating some posts, please let me know in the comments and we'll see about getting you set up. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy it.
A couple of draft hopefuls trashed their hotel room at the combine. This might have a negative effect on their draft status. One is a potential first round pick who chose not to make himself available to speak at his pro day when front office personnel reportedly had questions regarding the incident. Why does this matter to us? Desmond Trufant did not make himself available to speak after his pro day. Could it be him? Also, do you think this should negatively affect a player's draft stock? Personally, I do because this is one of the first opportunities for a guy to enjoy the glitz and glamour of professional life. If you can't handle it at the combine, how will you handle it during the season. Speculate below if you think it is someone else, or if you have other thoughts regarding how this incident should or should not affect a guy's draft status.
If this is true, it puts an interesting twist on the Revis saga. I would find it hilarious if the bucs would spend almost 9 mill on a crappy back-up qb. Any other thoughts
I do not understand this move. We were so close to a SB and now we will have a completely different Oline. Lamar better step up...
