One day, I’m going to convince people my life as a team employee is often more hectic in the offseason.
Contrary to popular belief, team bloggers don’t keep teacher hours and take an abundance of time off from March to July. Actually, this is a time players and staff alike catch up on all the things that fall to the side during the season.
It’s a time for site maintenance, intense coverage of offseason events and studying the ever-changing Internet world. Players use the time to recharge, recap the year that was and ramp up involvement in the community and charity.
Speaking of events, punter Michael Koenen will host his second-annual Dream House golf tournament April 6. Click here for more information, including how you can play.
Head Coach Mike Smith is also expected to host a golf tournament in the midst of offseason workouts, which begin in just 11 days.

they both suck but i would have to go with iphone
well with the recent movrs in the AFC North, at receiver. we should think about adding somone to help us seeing that we play the AFC north this season, adding torry holt would be an idea maybe what do yinz think??
I would like to see us upgrade the wr. Mike has proven he is not consistent. I like Roddy, Harry in the slot and I would like to see a speedster on the other side either through the draft or free agency.
we need a number 2 receiver lets go get vincent jackson
lets trade for mark anderson from chicago bears he will give us that speed rusher we need
they both sound good to me lets trade away the T.O on our team mr. Drops mike Jenkins. lol
we need a number 2 receiver come on td
Maybe trade Jenkins for V. Jackson?? wht do yinz think??
lets go get javon walker to help us out!
i think the falcons need to look at DE ogunleye from CHI bears! he is a free agent a real solid DE that can speed rush and bring a lot the falcon if used effective? what you think?
i pray that falcons can pick up DE brandon graham! that’s if he is still on the board when we get or first pick. he will be the best pick for the first round
Let’s contact the aliens on Venus and borrow they’re youthenizor and sign Jerry Rice…..
Maybe not huh? Looks like we might just need to pick up Gilyard in the 4th.
I think we can get the WR help we need in round # 3 of the draft. White, Douglas, Jenkins and Booker are good for now. Jenkins probably should not be our starter.
