Jerry “On Schedule” in Rehab
Peria Jerry’s torn knee ligament in Week 2 did more than end his season. It rocked the team’s defensive tackle rotation and hurt the pass rush — something the Falcons lacked at points for the rest of the 2009 campaign.
But Jerry is making progress in his recovery and has been a regular in team’s Flowery [...]

Lunch Break: Defensive Line Debate
When Falcons coaches sit down over the next few days to review what went right and what went wrong in 2009, a few defensive numbers will jump off the page.
For starters, the team’s third-down defense allowed opponents to convert for a first down 45.3 percent of the time (dominant defenses hover in the middle 30s). [...]

Falcons Left Off Pro Bowl List
The votes have been counted and, baring dropouts and late additions, the Falcons will not be represented in the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl.

Birdseed: December 18, 2009
Early this week Falcons players were blasted with questions about playoff chances. They care about making the playoffs — and the chance is there — but I get the feeling they don’t care much for questions about scoreboard watching and how it affects their play.
It seems like everyone forgets playing hard just to play hard. [...]

Taking it One Game at a Time
It may have been the shortest opening statement of Head Coach Mike Smith’s tenure:
“As I said yesterday, there are no moral victories in the NFL and we did not make enough plays yesterday to win the football game. And, with that, I’ll open it up to questions…”

Birdseed: December 14, 2009
Forget the testosterone-filled locker room. The dirtiest words in football are often uttered in game recaps or circles of fans looking to make sense of frustrating defeats.
To the Falcons, no words are more foul on Monday morning than “moral victory.”
And, after a 26-23 heart-breaking loss to the still undefeated and strutting New Orleans Saints, it’s [...]
