A Very Falcoholic Discussion: The Starting Cornerbacks
Given the steady rotation at minicamps, I thought this would be a particularly tricky one to forecast. You know the drill by now, I expect. Use this post to discuss the cornerbacking corps and the two who will emerge triumphant from under a pile of lesser corners to take their rightful spots atop...
Are The Falcons Considering Cornerbacks Early In The Draft?
There's so many questions that this Atlanta Journal-Constitution article raises. The first question is, what kind of article is this? It says at the beginning that our good Comrade Thomas Dimitroff is looking hard at cornerbacks and defensive ends, but that's never backed up by any direct...
Falcons vs. Saints: Cheers For An August Autumn
The Falcons have triumphed. At every turn, the Falcons have met a new obstacle. They've been asked to win more than they did last year, and they have. They've been asked to beat a quality team, and instead they beat two. They've been asked to beat a division rival, and they smoked them. They have...
Domonique Foxworth To Start For The Falcons
Brent Grimes began the year as a nice story, but he has to yield his starting job to a story with just a little less luster. Today, Domonique Foxworth has finally learned enough of the defense to take over the spot formerly held by Grimey. It's a shame that a nagging injury had a role in costing...
Falcons vs. Panthers Recap: An Excruciating Bore
I almost think the blowout is less painful than the game you coulda, woulda, shoulda won. The Atlanta Falcons marched into Bank of America Stadium and blew the game against the Carolina Panthers thanks to a pitiful performance from the offense. While the numbers show a mediocre performance, the...
Falcons vs. Chiefs Recap: That Was A Blast
When you're expected to win a game, that is how you are expected to win it. The Falcons were favored against the incredibly inept Chiefs and responded by beating the tar out of them by the fun score of 38-14. This team was widely considered to be the worst in the league before the season, and I'll...
Falcons vs. Lions Recap: What A Wonderful World
I still haven't come down off of my huge, pillowy cloud after yesterday's game. If there's something better in football than a completely unexpected win that like, it's only a completely unexpected playoff win. What a great feeling. So while we're all enjoying this tremendously, I thought I'd take...
Von Hutchins Is Out For The Season
Cue up the AJC: Coach Mike Smith said Hutchins would be placed on injured reserve after the prognosis for his return was deemed to be four to six months. At some point during the season, you're likely to see Mike Smith fall to his knees like the star of a war movie and sob "They're just kids,...
The Young Rule The Atlanta Falcon Secondary
There's an interesting yet short story up at at the Atlanta Falcons official site right now which gives you a glimpse at just how young the secondary really could be next year. With each of these stories, it becomes increasingly clear that at least one of the young guys at corner--Chris Houston,...
Brent Grimes Is Loved By All
I am not a soothsayer, friends. If I was, I might have seen this bizarre and thrilling twist that has led to Brent Grimes being considered the best candidate for one of our starting cornerback spots. Given that my early roster projections placed him on the depth chart of another team entirely, I...
