Made it out to practice today. It was packed like hell. I know it was military day but ive been on military day before and it was nothing like this. Had to be 5000 people out there easy.
Couple things stood out tho...
-Freeman was getting off, dude look like he in mid-season form.
-Nick Williams was killing in one on one drills.(Put a real good move on Brian Poole) Id be surprised if he didnt make the team again this year.
-Some WR named Marvin Hall stood out. Even got some run with the first team
-Defense as a whole stood out. They got a lot of pressure on the QB's and played pretty well against the pass today. Only remember seeing Matt Ryan throw one TD(To Hooper) but a lot of the other passes were contested.
-Jermaine Grace ended practice with a pick-6. (Looked like number 56 anyway. They were at the other end of the field.)
-Duke Riley is fast
-Takk won a couple one on ones today. Dont remember seeing him in the scrimmage portion of practice but he looked pretty good. And he big as hell, look A lot bigger than Beasley was when he first entered the league.
Ready to see the first preseason game and see how some of these guys look. Might get some surprise cuts this year. Falcons should trade Jalen Collins ass at the end of the season. or try to anyway.

Julio & Gabriel won't play Thursday. Nothing serious, just making sure there aren't any setbacks in their recovery.
Gabriel won the punt return job. He took Weems' spot.

They might as well let Takk sit also. No reason to rush him out there, they say he will be a game time decision.
Glad they paid Freeman. They say its basically a 3 year deal with most of the money being paid out in the first 3 years which is actually good for both sides in my opinion. -
I doubt that Takk plays. Probably the 3rd preseason game.
-
Free has a concussion
-
Sheesh
I want that rookie & Ward to get all of the touches -
-
Takk looked good in his limited snaps. He put a good hit on Dobbs. I wanna see him out there with the first unit this week.

Im glad Jermaine Grace made the team. I like dude...... Im mad Reggie Davis got picked up by Cleveland, he was probably a lock to hit the practice squad. I honestly would have rather had him make the team over Nick Williams. I like Nick tho so I aint trippin.....
-
We kept 4 RBs. As good as they were, I knew no WRS would make the team. We are STACKED at that position. I'm not surprised Jalen Collins didnt make the team. Between the two suspensions, ? Super Bowl and awful preseason, I just knew he was gone. Having 4 RBS and a H-back(FB) let's me know that the new OC plans to run the ball A LOT and I love it.
One player I wanted to keep was DE Odom from Arkansas state. Might be the Homer, in me talking, but I thought that he played excellent this preseason. I think we lost a gem. Our D-line depth chart is stacked as well but I think he needed a shot. -
Hageman released for domestic violence charges from two years ago.

Game Day
In Quinn We Trust
-
Im gonna end up having a stroke watching the Bulldawgs and the Falcons every weekend.....
-
Proud of that goal line stand tho. But yeah that wasn't for the faint of heart
-
Sark gotta open up the playbook cause the gameplan for Chicago was trash.
-
I think that was done on purpose. Expect a lot more runs and ? /dunk passes to keep the defense off the field this season. The explosive plays will only be done when neccesary instead of most of the time like last season.
-
Game Time, omw to the Skybox. Get this W
-
Schraeder's concussion looked pretty bad. Hope there's no long term issues for him. Glad he'll be back. Impressed with the backup OT.
That hamstring injury, with Vic, concerns me. That ? can bother him for months.
GOOD NEWS
The pass-rush is solid. A-Rod was on his ass all night.
Secondary was decent. Alford got his weekly penalty but held his own all game. Tru with the pick...Neal was great in coverage. His pass-interference was bs. It was a beautiful sight.
Offense got a few more kinks to work out but they're almost there. -
Yeah Sark play calling was better this week and the OL looked better. Hope Vic and Schraeder's injuries not too bad
-
I guess it's Takk time for the next month -
Fuuuuucccckk!
