Birdseed: August 25, 2009
Monday was my first full day in a new office here at Falcons headquarters. The new space has a window (nice) but, more importantly, it’s in the PR wing and in the heart of all the news.
It’s also just outside the team meeting room.
I didn’t need to get the official notice Head Coach Mike Smith [...]

Checking In with Redman
Head Coach Mike Smith said backup quarterback Chris Redman will get snaps in the team’s next two preseason games. The veteran, who spent all of 2008 as Matt Ryan’s primary backup did not play in St. Louis.
That, according to the coach, was by design and allowed the team to look at other quarterbacks on the [...]

Houston Returns to Practice
Some important things to cover on this last day of Russell Falcons Training Camp.
What do ya say, Smitty?
“We will start (Tuesday) getting into our regular-season routine,” Head Coach Mike Smith said Monday morning. “Tomorrow will be a Wednesday, so it will be a typical Wednesday and we will just sequence through the week Wednesday, Thursday, [...]

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO OF THE THROWBACKS
When it comes to football, there’s one thing most fans can agree on (at least most fans I’ve talked to).
Everyone loves a good throwback uniform.
Add the Falcons to the list of teams getting some of that love in 2009.
The Birds will don replicas of the team’s inaugural 1966 [...]

Keeping the Preseason Focus
Over the past five days we’ve covered all the ground necessary after a preseason-opening loss.
Does the game count. No.
Were the injuries. A few.
Anything serious? It appears not.
But in the Groundhog Day that is the NFL and training camp, the topics are bound to come up again sooner or later. Thursday, the Falcons Pro Bowl [...]

Birdseed: August 18, 2009
It’s a short week in Flowery Branch. Even in the preseason this presents less than desirable circumstances.
For the next few days I’ll routinely forget the day of the week and mix up various responsibilities needed to get to the plane on time and prepare for the second preseason contest at St. Louis.
Thankfully it’s just that… [...]

Kickers, Golfers and Major League Pitchers
Jason Elam, like most NFL kickers, looks the part of a coach or trainer more than a player.
He’s smaller in stature than most of the team and is the oldest player on the roster, by six years.
But 17 seasons in professional football have been kind to Elam.
His six-and-a-half page biography in the Falcons media guide [...]

Peterson: ‘It’s a Process’
Falcons fans expressed plenty of concern (in blog comments and on the message boards) about the team’s defense as the Detroit Lions marched down the field on their opening drive in Saturday’s preseason game.
But the Falcons were able to force a field goal — the Lions’ only points of the first half.
Starting outside linebacker Mike [...]
