Meet A New Atlanta Falcon: DE Lawrence Sidbury
via www.thecollegianur.com Lawrence Sidbury has begun his career with nearly universal praise, which is pretty darn good for a guy who has yet to play a game. As a defensive end who could probably also handle linebacker, runs a great 40 and can bench press your couch a couple dozen times,...
A Very Falcoholic Discussion: Projecting John Abraham
via cache.daylife.com In Mexico, he is known as el monstruo. In the Siberian wastelands, men hold their cloaks a little closer and move a step quicker when he is around. In the outback of Australia, not even the hardiest man or beast dares to speak his name. In our country, his name is more...
A Trio Of Atlanta Falcons Bloggers Reviews The 2008 Season
I think we've universally agreed that this was quite a season. A while back, I asked two of my esteemed blogosphere colleagues to give me their thoughts on the season behind us. In order to turn it into a mighty Cerberus of writing and reviewing, I've thrown my own faded Falcons hat into the ring....
Falcons News Roundup: Of Playoffs, Michael Turner and Rich McKay
There's so much going on right now that I can scarcely keep up with all of it. In lieu of several in-depth posts which would take so long to write that I'd get fired from my job and miss New Year's entirely, let's try the quick hit news roundup. Consider this a catch-all thread for any news that...
Falcons And Vikings Recap: The Playoff Team Cometh
There are so few teams who manage to achieve immortality, but I do believe the 2008 Atlanta Falcons will be one of them. I can't imagine a more profound transformation than the one this team has gone through. The Falcons weren't just a caterpillar that turned into a butterfly; they were a steaming...
John Abraham, Matt Ryan Pro Bowl Are Alternates
At least they're only an injury or a vacation in Europe away from the Pro Bowl, right? The AJC's D. Orlando Ledbetter reports that both John Abraham and Matt Ryan are Pro Bowl alternates. While you could certainly argue that Ryan deserves a spot--and I would grab a fan by the front of their shirt...
Falcons and Bucs Recap: There's No Shame In Winning Ugly
Sometimes you can't win with elegance and class. Sometimes you have to smash their faces in the dirt, take a couple on the chin and use a bunch of fighting metaphors. This is one of those times. The Falcons looked downright incompetent against the Bucs at times, but it didn't matter. The...
John Abraham Likely To Suit Up For Falcons
Good news, everyone! The Falcons pass rush probably won't be missing its only effective pass rusher against the San Diego Chargers, which can only help us in our quest to make Phillip Rivers take root in the turf. Abraham's recent nagging injuries have been worrisome and I'm not sure he'll be 100%...
Falcons vs. Panthers Recap: Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory
That didn't look anything like a 45-28 victory until the end of the game, when the Falcons detonated with the force of a thousand suns and just blew the Panthers off the face of the earth. Their fourth quarter domination was actually more impressive than a straight blowout, though, if you consider...
Atlanta Falcons: Our Kingdom For A Pass Rush
With all the talk of secondaries and pass rushes and Panthers games, oh my, I figured it was time to talk about one of the Falcons' most glaring weaknesses. No, it's not their abiding love of chocolate or their tendency to stand awkwardly in front of the cast of Oklahoma! It's the pass...
