Mini Camp Chat with Yasinskas
I spent some time Friday chatting with experienced football writer and all-around “friend of the program” Pat Yasinskas. The ESPN.com NFC South Blogger tries to hit each team in the offseason and will attend two days of Falcons mini camp.
Besides calling our Flowery Branch home the “nicest practice facility in the NFC South,” Yaskinsas shared [...]

Birdseed: 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 [...]

Mini Camp Highlights: Day 1
Looking back at this first day of Falcons mini camp, I can’t help but wonder what training camp is going to look like.
Yes, it’s months away. Yes, the weather will be much warmer. Yes, this is an example of looking too far ahead when I’m constantly telling fans to live in the moment.
But if the Falcons can [...]

Mini Camp: All About Intensity
It felt more like July than early May in Flowery Branch Friday, giving Falcons players and staff a taste of what’s surely to come at Russell Falcons Training Camp — punishing heat.
But the team directed its focus in practice, creating white-hot flames of intensity that left everyone feeling upbeat and optimistic about the next round [...]

What to Watch at Mini Camp
In just more than two hours the Falcons take the field for the first real “practice” of 2010 — a mini camp workout in Flowery Branch to knock off some rust and start laying the foundation for the pre- and regular-season.
It’s easy to jump to conclusions with the first snaps on mini camp Friday but [...]

White: Health the Key in 2010
Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White is ready to welcome a new group of receivers to Flowery Branch. But when it comes to getting accustom to the fun-loving, hard-working style of veteran receivers coach Terry Robiskie, they’re on their own.
And mini camp is quickly approaching.
Robiskie brings out the best in receivers (hence, White’s two straight [...]

Falcons Turn to the Offensive Line
With the second of two third-round selections — a compensatory pick — the Falcons selected Alabama guard/tackle Mike Johnson.
“Another versatile offensive lineman… We are fired up that he was there,” General Manager Thomas Dimitroff said at the close of the third round.
The third-year GM also noted Johnson’s role as a guard-slash-tackle in a pro-style system.
Johnson, 6-foot-5, [...]

Birdseed: March 29, 2010
I’m quickly approaching three full years as an employee of Arthur Blank and the Atlanta Falcons but I’m well aware of the ups and downs this franchise has faced since its birth in 1966.
Until 2009 a winning season was always followed by a losing one.
Now with the back-to-back winning season monkey gone, the team can [...]
