Lunch Break: Defensive Line Debate

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 7, 2010
When Falcons coaches sit down over the next few days to review what went right and what went wrong in 2009, a few defensive numbers will jump off the page. For starters, the team’s third-down defense allowed opponents to convert for a first down 45.3 percent of the time (dominant defenses hover in the middle 30s). [...]

Birdseed: October 8, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: October 8, 2009
Tonight’s the night. At some point this evening my brother-in-law and I will match gaming wits in the xBox universe.

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 25, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: August 15, 2009

Words from the Defensive Coordinator

By J. Michael Moore | Published: June 4, 2009
Random thoughts on the defense and comments from the coordinator on a Thursday afternoon before an extended weekend… Seven of the Falcons eight picks in the 2009 NFL Draft are defensive players. Safe to say the team is looking for an infusion of talent and youth on that side of the ball. That, of course, comes with [...]
