Falconcast: A Super Bowl Preview
Around two weeks ago I chronicled some reasons why Falcons fans should root for the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. Judging from various user comments, I underestimated how much Falcons lovers dislike the Saints.
A whopping 59 percent of those who voted with an in-blog poll will not root for the Saints (7 percent just don’t [...]

Thomas DeCoud… An All Joe
Falcons second-year safety Thomas DeCoud was named to the USA Today All-Joe Team Wednesday afternoon.
The list was headlined by Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and formed with players who “are not average or even sloppy, but rather unheralded, unloved and, sometimes, underpaid since the one prerequisite for being an All-Joe is [...]

Lunch Break: A Safety Summary
During a particularly muggy preseason practice I caught a glimpse of a play that can define Thomas DeCoud’s worth to the Falcons defense. Without revealing too many details, DeCoud — a free safety with ball skills — broke free on a blitz and got to the quarterback in a flash.
We saw a similar play during [...]

Smith: Babineaux Situation No Distraction

He did say he doesn’t expect his team to lose focus.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a distraction,” the second-year head coach said. “This is [...]

Some Community Recognition
Late last week the Falcons announced wide receiver Brian Finneran as the team’s nominee for the 2009 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award — one of the top honors for NFL players who work tirelessly on the field and in the community.
Finneran is in his 10th NFL season, his second after missing back-to-back years [...]

Time to Stay the Course
Facing a .500 record for the first time since early in the 2008 season the Falcons have little to do but stay positive and get wins.
One at a time preferred.
“We have to keep taking one game at a time and continuing to work,” safety Erik Coleman said when asked about a defense that gave up [...]

Peprah Added to Secondary
The Falcons injury situation in the secondary took a turn for the worse Wednesday as the team placed recently re-signed safety Jamaal Fudge on injured reserve.
In his place, Atlanta brought in four-year veteran safety Charlie Peprah.
Fudge, who was with the team in 2008 and the preseason, was re-signed on Oct. 20 after the team placed [...]

Defense Gives Falcons Soft Landing
The Falcons defense sat on the sideline for more than 17 minutes in the second half of Sunday’s game against Carolina — the trademark of an offense doing its job and controlling the clock.
But, with the lead on the line and the clock running down, the Panthers found ways to take advantage of any and [...]
