Lunch Break: Linebacker Lowdown
One of the best quotes of the season came via the mouth of Falcons linebacker Curtis Lofton.
On a day when many in the locker room were vocally frustrated about the lack of Pro Bowl nominations (no Falcons will go to the game), Lofton spoke simply and in a soft — but forceful — tone.
“My season [...]

Birdseed: January 4, 2010
Isn’t it fitting that, in a season the Falcons wore throwbacks to honor the team’s inaugural year, the team broke a dubious streak that started in 1966?
Without those victories in throwback jerseys — including a tribute to the 1966 team — the Falcons wouldn’t have been able to finish at 9-7 in 2009 and record the first [...]

Quick Notes on Falcons, 49ers Inactives
Cornerback Tye Hill will wait at least another week before suiting up for the Falcons.
Atlanta de-activated the former first-round pick, who was acquired in a late-preseason trade with the St. Louis Rams. Head Coach Mike Smith has spoke highly of Hill, who has spent the first four weeks of the season and the bye week [...]

Notes on Falcons, Patriots Inactives
No Wes Welker for the Patriots.
No Jerious Norwood for the Falcons.
Not exactly a 1:1 exchange, but it’s close.
Welker, who has 12 catches for 93 yards in one game this season, is Tom Brady’s favorite target in blitz situations. He’s also pretty good in the regular offense — team-leading 11 catches for 1,165 yards last season.
Norwood [...]

Birdseed: September 15, 2009
Early this morning, before the storm clouds gave way to regular, gloomy rain clouds in Flowery Branch I bumped into Head Coach Mike Smith.
I was heading out of the cafeteria with a fresh cup of coffee. He was eating breakfast. But the second-year head coach took a moment, as he often does, to say hello [...]
