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 [...]

The Falcons organization hasn’t put a time line on Michael Turner’s return from a high ankle sprain. All we really know is the Pro Bowler and steady heartbeat of the team’s running game was listed as “doubtful” on the injury report leading up to last week’s game. He did not play. Here’s what we do know in [...]

In the high-speed race to publish roster moves and keep up with NFL happenings over the weekend, a story close to the Falcons and two other NFL teams flew under the radar. Defensive tackle Jesse Mahelona, who spent time with the Falcons in 2007, died in a car accident Friday. He was 26. Mahelona was drafted by [...]

Ran into assistant special teams coach Eric Sutulovich in the hall this morning. I got to know him when we crossed paths in Houston back in 2004 and his personality has changed little. “Tell me something good,” the bubbly coach said. “Something good for a Monday morning?” I said pre-cup of coffee. “Yeah.” “We get to play the third [...]

Let’s start with the obvious observation from Friday’s preseason win over the Rams. The Falcons offense looked good. Call it an understatement or bland, but it’s the simplest and most effective explanation for a group that is both blue collar and flashy, strong and precise. It starts with the offensive line which, for the second-straight week, did not [...]

A few more cars were in the parking lot when I arrived at Falcons HQ this morning. More trainers and equipment staff were in the building as I cut through the locker room. The buzz is in the air. Training Camp in Flowery Branch is just a few days away. As cheesy as it sounds, the mood of [...]

This weekend the wife and I did a little shopping for an upcoming vacation and finished off one ritual associated with the purchase of new clothes: Closet organization and donation selection. It took several hours, but Kelli and I managed to create some more room in a reorganized closet and get some older garb ready for [...]
