Five (or Six) Links to Review Mini Camp

I’ve been in this business for seven seasons and, without fail, the best barometer for preseason expectations — perhaps success — comes with the amount of media attention. The earlier the better. So imagine the reaction when there were almost too many links to list from the Falcons weekend mini camp. Sure, I could have pulled together some [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

What They’re Saying About Robinson

BLOGGER’S NOTE: These comments were compiled by members of the Falcons Football Communications Staff — one of the best in the business. Comments address the Falcons signing of cornerback Dunta Robinson, who spent the first six seasons of his career with the Houston Texans. John McClain, Houston Chronicle “Terrific move for Dunta and the Falcons. He gets [...]

Birdseed: December 4, 2009

The Falcons are going to have to piece some things together Sunday at the Georgia Dome. With a plethora of players on the injury report — including quarterback Matt Ryan, running back Michael Turner and starting right guard Harvey Dahl — it may take some creative placement of reserve players to get the job done against [...]

Birdseed: November 30, 2009

One day, possibly soon, the Falcons will look back on the late-game events in Sunday’s win and look at it as a point the season turned. A simple throw and catch on a gut-wrenching, stress-inducing fourth down. It was a moment that passes quickly, takes longer to digest and pays dividends not quite seen. Isn’t the way [...]

Birdseed: November 13, 2009

This weekend the Falcons take the I-85 rivalry to a different level. Saturday afternoon the team will climb aboard charter buses and burn rubber on the way to Charlotte and a date with the Carolina Panthers. But this isn’t the first trip by bus for the Falcons in this series. The Georgia Dome and Bank of America Stadium [...]

Birdseed: October 12, 2009

Statistically, it was no where near the most successful game of his career. But having Jerious Norwood back on the field after a concussion certainly improved the Falcons ability to move the football and score. The running back, who suffered a pair of concussions over a 22-day period, rushed for 44 yards on 12 carries in [...]
