Vick Returns to Georgia Dome Turf

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 6, 2009
All week Falcons fans wondered what former quarterback Michael Vick’s reception would be at the Georgia Dome. The debate bubbled on talk radio and reporters — including myself — couldn’t help but speculate on what exactly happens when a falling star returns to the site of his previous glory. Vick, now a change-of-pace quarterback (go ahead [...]

Finding a Defensive Groove

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 13, 2009
The Falcons defense took a lot of heat through the preseason and, at least through the opening quarter of the 2009 season, it seems some of it wasn’t completely deserved.

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 10, 2009
A story that will get some play Sunday is that of the relationship between Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith and Dolphins coach Tony Sparano. The two men will forever be linked thanks to their role in turning around franchises in their first year as head coaches. Sparano inherited a Dolphins team that finished 1-15 in 2007. [...]

Getting Ready for the Wildcat

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 9, 2009
A while back I wrote about the Wildcat formation in NFL offenses, particularly the Falcons version with running back turned quarterback Jerious Norwood.
