Weatherspoon Keeps Weight in Mind

Moore played in two games for the Falcons last season before [...]
Is Graham a Linebacker or Lineman?
Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham was questioned at length Saturday about his position in the NFL: 3-4 linebacker or 4-3 defensive end?

Perhaps a Too Early Look at Ravens
Friday at the Combine I spoke with my counterpart at BaltimoreRavens.com, Mike Duffy, about what has become a vibrant preseason rivalry between the Falcons and Ravens.
Neither Duffy or I know for sure if the teams will face each other in the preseason for the sixth time in the last seven years, but it would seem [...]
