*D-BLOCK VOICE*

Falcon fans-Falcon Fans -- Welcome to the 2014 Season


Trap back jumpin' indeed, so lesgeddit...



NOTABLE NEW FALCONS


Paul Solai
us-presswire-paul-solai2.jpg

Been asking for a space-eater DT for years, finally got one.


Tyson Jackson
6789486.jpg

Classic 3-4 DE that will help shore up the run D.


Dwight Lowery
20140410__STC-L-Lowery-0410~p1_300.jpg

The ? -nikka replacement. Tougher, and better in coverage than Decoud.


Devin Hester
BjMg94dCQAEWC8s.jpg

Arguably the GOAT kick returner, definitely best of the 21st century.
Finally giving us a ST return threat. Hopefully the best since his
idol and mentor wore that 2-1 for us.






***********************

PRE-SEASON TEAM AWARDS PREDICTIONS FOR THE SQUAD

TEAM MVP:

140216_Julio49ersGIF_Blog.gif

Something tells me the kid is feeling some typ'a way about last years
injuries and watching wannabes get shine while he was in a air-cast.
If he stays healthy - I expect a "y'all musta forgot" season.



TEAM DPOY:

113012_falcons_21.jpg

He'll have to continue to baby-sit our youngin' Corners, but we need him
to keep being W.A.R. and that should make up for whatever flaws the
baby-birds show.


TEAM ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

FreemanAnkleBreakerMaryland.gif

Just a gut feeling that the third member of Jodeci will ball out.
I still think S. Jax will miss at least 3 games, and even if he doesn't
he ain't gettin 20+ carries a game. Freeman might get the biggest chance
to shine.
I would say Matthews, but Tackle development can be as shaky as QB development.


***

I expect more of the same from the Matty Ice. Impressed me
last year by putting up good numbers despite a ? -boi O-line
and all the injuries.

Helping Harry Douglass put up damn-near pro-bowl caliber numbers
says it all.

And here's to a strong season with minimal injuries - The Pre-Season Round of Applause...

    I'm excited about the season coming up. As a former limeman, I looking forward to position battles on both sides of the ball.
    Roddy just got an extension so camp is starting off right.

    Nah, just some lame that live in his momma's basement. His squad is probably some irrelevent squad like the Jags or some ? that ain't been to the playoffs in a decade. He needs this, it's all he got.

    For those that don't know, this dude is probably the best Falcons blogger...

    http://www.thefalcoholic.com/2014/7/21/5921639/atlanta-falcons-training-camp-begins-this-week

    He'll be dropping daily updates on training camp, and he's pretty honest about ? too.

    I remember he called Robert McLain making the team and making a impact a couple years ago.

    Was hoping my Rams squad would get the nod before all this Michael Sam ? so I'm glad The Falcons will get a look. Should be a good series. At least they're not doing another cowboys or bengals one

    A Rams/Michael Sam one would've been too much for me. I'd rather watch Real Housewives of whatever-the-? than that. 70% of the show would've been about him every episode.

    Congratulations to Roddy. Hopefully he retires a Falcon
    The Falcons and wide receiver Roddy White were talking contract extension earlier in the offseason, but tabled things for a while after White’s brother was killed.

    They have both resumed and completed those talks. On Thursday morning, the Falcons announced that they have agreed to terms with White on a four-year contract extension that will keep him tied to the Falcons through 2018.

    There are no financial terms to pick through yet, but if White sees it to the end there’s a good chance it will be the last contract he’ll ever sign as he’ll turn 37 in the final year of the deal. It would also mean that he spent his entire career in a Falcons uniform and that he’d further cement himself as the best receiver in Falcons history.

    White battled injuries last year and caught 63 passes for 711 yards, his lowest season totals since the 2006 season. Better health for him and for the rest of the Falcons offense should lead to a better season all around.

    UPDATE 9:28 a.m. ET: According to multiple reports, it is actually a three-year extension and the announcement from the Falcons rolled the existing year on his deal into the extension. That means White is signed through 2017 rather than 2018.

    I like where the Falcons are right now. They're hungry to get back to where they were in 2012 and they seem to thrive when they are able to play the underdog role.

    I'm also looking forward to seeing what Brian ? can get out of the dline.

    I agree. The Falcon's are looking rather Young, Humble & Hungry.
