Your Questions… Answered
Think the Dunta Robinson signing just cleared up some of the mystery concerning the Falcons secondary in 2010?
Think again.
Though cliche, picking up Robinson opens several options for the Falcons in the upcoming NFL Draft and allows the team to really take advantage of its strengths — younger players who got valuable playing time in 2009.

Falcons Retain Cornerback Grimes
The Falcons announced Tuesday cornerback Brent Grimes, who started eight games in 2009, signed an exclusive rights contract.
Atlanta also released wide receiver James Swinton.

Quick Chat with Steve Wyche
Unlike the 2008 and 2009 NFL Drafts, the Falcons go into the selection process this season with a more laser-guided focus. According to NFL.com’s Steve Wyche, the move should be on defense, probably at cornerback.

Lunch Break: Corner Collaboration
Brian Williams and Chris Houston… Chris Houston and Brent Grimes… Chris Houston and Tye Hill… Chris Houston and Christopher Owens… Brent Grimes and Christopher Owens…

Birdseed: January 4, 2010
Isn’t it fitting that, in a season the Falcons wore throwbacks to honor the team’s inaugural year, the team broke a dubious streak that started in 1966?
Without those victories in throwback jerseys — including a tribute to the 1966 team — the Falcons wouldn’t have been able to finish at 9-7 in 2009 and record the first [...]

Falconcast: So We Meet Again
The Chicago Cubs have the 101-year streak without a World Series championship but if you type “dubious sports streaks” into a Google search engine you’re bombarded with stories about the Atlanta Falcons.

Wide receiver Roddy White, who was left off the Pro Bowl roster, declared [...]
