Off to Indianapolis!
This afternoon Falcons personnel start flocking to Indianapolis for the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine. They travel in waves, with scouts and player executives arriving with the first group of players for interviews and testing while position coaches hit the ground in time to meet with players and watch workouts.
In many ways, it’s a logistical marvel.
But [...]

Hey Fans, Help Me Focus
In 12 days I’ll jet off to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis for four days of intense pre-draft coverage and research on the Falcons’ offseason plans.
Head Coach Mike Smith and General Manager Thomas Dimitroff are expected to speak, along with other executives and coaches from across the league. But, perhaps most importantly, hundreds of [...]

Not Messing with the Weather
Moving in and around the New York City area in a snow shower is easy for one or two people (did you know PATH trains have heated seats)? Moving a professional football team is a bit more complicated.
So, faced with a storm that was shutting down parts of the mid-Atlantic, the Falcons and NFL took [...]

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 23, 2009
The Falcons are heading to Dallas.
Get ready, Texas.
I spent a football season living in Houston back in college. As a 21-year-old intern I had no preconceived notions about Texas or its unique love affair with football. But in just a few weeks I couldn’t help following high school football in the Lone Star State.
And that’s [...]

Falconacst: 49ers Preview
When traveling, especially to the West Coast, a lot of things have to fall into place.
This is true for the personal or business traveler and a professional football team. The Falcons may not have to worry about connections or layovers, but there’s plenty to keep in mind on a 60-hour trip to the opposite side [...]

What to Look for in the Preseason
Hello from the Detroit, where music and motor cars rule.
And where Wes Durham and Dave Archer from Falcons Radio find a Big Boy inside Comerica Park.
Oh the joys of NFL road trips.
But, seriously, time to get down to some preseason business.
You all have an excuse to be on edge today. After months with no football, [...]

Birdseed: Leaving on a Jet Plane
The Falcons are packing the bags for the first preseason trip of 2009.
They’re also a focal point of the national media with the news of former quarterback Michael Vick signing with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Falcons players aren’t available to the media on travel days — especially since this trip starts roughly 90 minutes after the end [...]

Birdseed: August 13, 2009
In about 29 hours the Falcons will hit the road for the first time in the 2009 season. While this is nothing short of thriling to fans, it’s a bit nerve-racking for those of us in the building.
For example…
Before the day is up the New Media Interns and I need to get web pages built [...]
