Talking Draft with T.D.

By J. Michael Moore | Published: April 15, 2010
General Manager Thomas Dimitroff insists the shirt and tie he sported Thursday afternoon isn’t his usual pre-draft attire. He’s a hard-working man that prefers comfortable clothes for the long hours of research and planning. As expected, he’s spending nights at the office leading up to next week’s NFL Draft. “We’ve been working on these players for almost [...]

2010 Mock Draft: Version 2.0

By J. Michael Moore | Published: March 24, 2010
I’ve made further adjustments in the second attempt at a mock draft this year, forming opinions off what I’m reading in various mocks from around the Internet while keeping an eye on the plethora of players the Falcons may consider at No. 19. Again, keep in mind the Falcons pick changes each [...]

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 [...]

All Defense? Not So Fast…

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 26, 2010
Head Coach Mike Smith said Friday his team will look at both sides of the ball, even if the media expects another defensive-heavy draft. “We’ve got a number of areas that we have to address,” Smith said. “In Year One our draft was more titled toward the offensive side of the ball. In Year Two [...]

Birdseed: February 17, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 17, 2010
It’s been almost two weeks since the Super Bowl and — much to the joy of some ad executives — one commercial is still making the rounds. It’s spawned plenty of office laughs and discussion in Flowery Branch and sparked a Facebook page demanding results. It’s also my favorite of a lackluster group of 2010 advertisements. Why [...]

Veteran Presence Sticking Around

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 11, 2010
When wide receiver Harry Douglas went down with a season-ending knee injury just two days into Russell Falcons Training Camp, doom and gloom could have easily replaced hope and optimism. Behind Roddy White and Michael Jenkins the Birds had a lot of youth. But they also had nine-year veteran Brian Finneran. Finneran, combined with the addition of [...]

Lunch Break: Free Agency Talk

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 11, 2010
The 2010 NFL free agent signing period is set to begin at midnight March 5. But unlike past seasons, this isn’t going to be an easy shopping trip for teams across the league. If owners and players can’t agree on a new collective bargaining agreement before the start of the signing period, more than 200 players [...]

Lunch Break: Special Teams Spiel

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 27, 2010
It was a year of ups and downs for the Falcons special teams, which faced injuries and intense scrutiny in the kicking game. But, things settled at the end of the season as the team cranked out three-straight wins to close the 2009 campaign. Punter Michael Koenen and return man Eric Weems were consistent contributors and [...]

Lunch Break: Receiver Recognition

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 20, 2010
Wide receiver Roddy White made no secret of his Pro Bowl goal in 2008. He achieved it, advancing to the all-star game that seemed unlikely during his first three years in Atlanta. Looking for an encore, White finished 2009 with a team-high 85 catches, 1,153 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns. But no Pro Bowl. Like other Falcons that didn’t [...]

Catching Up with Harry Douglas

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 14, 2010
Recovering from a sports injury takes equal parts hard work and heart. Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas isn’t afraid of the workload. He’s been at the team’s Flowery Branch facility almost every weekday since the end of the 2009 season rehabilitating from a torn ACL. Speak to him for just a few moments and you know his [...]
