    am i wrong for feeling way more optimistic about the defense this year? even with the new players and DC? i got a feeling this gon be our year. as much talent as we got on the roster we'll be kinda under the radar... ? aint expectin ? from ATL except a playoff spot at best

    don't you mean at worst?? its still falcons and saints at the top, and people are probably expecting less of the saints because of the bounty penalties.

    Nope. All I hear on here and even on ESPN (who picked us to miss the playoffs this year) is how somehow losing to super bowl teams in the playoffs means you're the worst team in your division. lol


    well if you have to have someone picking against you, ESPN and the cheap seats are who you want it to be

    Interesting excerpt from Camp today from Pat Yasinkas of ESPN...


    The play of the day came on a jump ball between two of Atlanta’s best athletes. Grimes had good coverage on a pass that was thrown high for wide receiver Julio Jones. Grimes, whose vertical leap has been measured at more than 40 inches, went up as high as he could. But Jones, who also has some spring in his legs, came down with the ball.


    That's not bad considering...

    Grime-Time ain't no joke.

    Falcons Release Manuwai

    By:Jay Adams | July 28th, 2012


    The Atlanta Falcons today announced that they have released guard Vince Manuwai.

    Manuwai, 6-2, 333 pounds, was originally selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third round (72nd overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft. He was signed by the Falcons as a free agent on March 9, 2012. The eight-year veteran started 105 of the 111 games he played in between 2003 and 2010.

    http://www.atlantafalcons.com/2012/07/falcons-release-manuwai/



    Dam, that was fast. The squad haven't even put on their pads yet in training camp. That means the rookie, Konz, is looking really good out there or Manuwai looking like Larry Holmes. Oh well, hope the best for him. All that means is more cap space for the Falcons. I'd like for them to use that money on signing a veteran back up QB or a LT.

    I think it's a lil bit of both. And co-sign signing a LB. I'm giving up on Mike Smith signing somebody other than Chris Redman to back up Matty. I think Redman and Chris Owens caught Arthur Blank sniffin' coke with some hoes from Magic City or something, 'cause no matter what happens, they stay on the roster.

    Yea, I heard about Grime-Time fielding punts too. Don't know how serious it is though.

    And yeah, Davis has the strongest arm from the team and is doing pretty well in camp from what I hear. He doesn't have much touch tho.

    The media or anybody didnt mention the name Curtis Lofton one time in the last three years. Now that he the Falcons, now he's a beast of a linebacker and could become one of the best in the NFL.


    lol

    Bruh, you should've saw that coming. Never fails.

    If your team is playoff caliber and your goal is NOT to make super bowl... U lawst in lyfe.

    Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel wouldn't confirm if he has Oct. 28 highlighted on his digital calendar. But clearly he has taken note of a newspaper report that Eagles coach Andy Reid felt his skills were in steep decline. "No comment," Samuel said after Tuesday's practice. "We'll see who's in steep decline." It was noted that the Falcons travel to play Reid and the Eagles in October. "We'll figure out who's in steep decline then," Samuel said.

    Yea, I read that article.

    Doesn't matter anyway. Asante played better than any other corner on the eagles roster last year, and most of all...








    He was signed to essentially replace Chris Owens, and we made a Chris owens-caliber deal to get him. LoL

    ^^^^^ Lmao. I been wondering that too.

    All we got is a handful of division titles and a NFC title, and we catch Yankee/Laker hate.

    I love it tho. I remember when ? didn't even know or care who our QB was, now they know his stats and playoff records by heart.

    Quick! What was Chris Chandlers career QB rating?!















    See? lol. ? like "Chris who?"
    And he took us to a Super Bowl. lol
