Five (or Six) Links to Review Mini Camp

By J. Michael Moore | Published: May 10, 2010
I’ve been in this business for seven seasons and, without fail, the best barometer for preseason expectations — perhaps success — comes with the amount of media attention. The earlier the better. So imagine the reaction when there were almost too many links to list from the Falcons weekend mini camp. Sure, I could have pulled together some [...]

Birdseed: May 8, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: May 8, 2010
My pasty white legs and I made it through the first two-a-day of mini camp without much of a sun burn. That’s surprising considering the surface-of-the-sun like heat that found its way to Flowery Branch almost three months early. Not sure what to say to the 163 people who looked at the picture of my legs on Twitter. With that [...]

Birdseed: March 15, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: March 15, 2010
We’re in the midst of one of the most interesting periods of the NFL calendar. The free agent signing period is more than week old. The big-splash acquisitions (see Robinson-comma-Dunta) are out of the way and the slow, day-to-day debate on second-level players has taken shape. Too early for concrete news on the NFL Draft but [...]

Birdseed: March 11, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: March 11, 2010
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 [...]

Birdseed: March 1, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: March 1, 2010
If you followed my Twitter feed from Tuesday through the trip to the Scouring Combine you got a few posts about non-football topics. It began, but certainly didn’t end, with the crash of my original MacBook Pro… The day before the trip. I was a little upset. But now I have good news. The workhorse of AF.com content [...]

Birdseed: February 9, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 9, 2010
So here we are in the football offseason and less than a week into the blackout men and women everywhere are confronted with a dilemma — Valentine’s Day is Sunday. Oh, and you can’t use football as an excuse to forget a present or dinner plans. Mrs. J. Mike and I don’t have a good track [...]

The Combine is Coming

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 2, 2010
The first step of any successful project is planning. Now that the invitation list for the Scouting Combine has been posted online, the organization freak in me can really come to life and get ready for a trip to take in this year’s festivities in Indy. Several Georgia and Georgia Tech players will receive invitations. Defensive lineman Geno [...]

Birdseed: January 5, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 5, 2010
The buzz around the Internet today is on the coaching carousel. Mike Shanahan to Washington. Assistants moving around and promoted to coordinator. Head coaches keeping the job for another year… for now. Coach movement is something largely covered but not completely broken down. Consider for a moment the assistant coaches finding additional jobs and — in some [...]
