Here’s the interview: I’ll bring upĀ  some thoughts on the Senior Bowl through the week as I break down some of the reports coming out of Mobile, Ala. The first is [...]

Monday Afternoon’s All Right for Video

Monday afternoons are busy for me in Flowery Branch. Head Coach Mike Smith holds a press conference around 3 p.m. Then it’s a mad dash to the office — about 20 yards — to throw up some updates. Later in the afternoon I talk about the Birds on the radio, which I’ll share in regular segments [...]

Not Messing with the Weather

Moving in and around the New York City area in a snow shower is easy for one or two people (did you know PATH trains have heated seats)? Moving a professional football team is a bit more complicated. So, faced with a storm that was shutting down parts of the mid-Atlantic, the Falcons and NFL took [...]

At first glance, the division-leading Saints have a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way. New Orleans has a home game next week against the Panthers, followed by road games at currently winless [...]

Comparing Ryan and Brady

One day during his rookie season, quarterback Matt Ryan and other Falcons joined their head coach at PGA Superstore in Duluth for a golf lesson. Ryan didn’t really need it (he’s shot 88 at Augusta National) but he’ll never turn down a chance to learn something new. But it was in the tennis section of the [...]

A Look at the Throwbacks

It’s Throwback Weekend in Atlanta and, besides honoring the 1966 team at halftime of today’s game, the Falcons are wearing some old-school jerseys. Good look for the Falcons, who haven’t “thrownback” since the uniform and logo change after the 2002 season. The Falcons will also wear the 1966 jerseys — black shirts, red helmets and all [...]

Birdseed: September 11, 2009

A Break and Player Introductions

Halftime at the Georgia Dome during the Falcons-Chargers preseason game. Some thoughts brewing in the blog, but we’ll pass the time with a YouTube clip of the team’s pregame introductions (upload took a little while).

The View at Edward Jones Dome

Random thoughts from the Edward Jones Dome press box while staring out on the light structure and rafters… So the seats here aren’t the best in the league, at least when it comes to proximity to the field. From my perspective, tonight’s preseason game between the Falcons and Rams will take place between two waring parties [...]

Falcons linebacker Coy Wire is among the featured players. Wyche said fans can expect more of Wire and his teammates on [...]
