Secondary Keeps Playing Take-Away

4 months, 3 weeks ago

On paper coming into the season, the Falcons secondary was thought to be one of the best in the league.

Key to Sunday’s Win Began Monday

5 months ago

Mondays at the office this year have been generally pleasant. Not last Monday. Last Monday was the pits.

5 months, 2 weeks ago

The hopes were high once Asante Samuel was announced as one of the Falcons’ 46 active players for today’s game, but the excitement ended quickly as Samuel returned to the sideline with the same shoulder injury that has been a problem for him since the Cardinals game two weeks ago. Samuel started the game, but [...]

Falcons Plan to Get Samuel Plenty of Rest

5 months, 2 weeks ago

Asante Samuel is one tough son-of-a-gun. Bothered by a clearly painful shoulder injury the past two games, Samuel has fought through it to make some big plays and set a great example for his younger secondary counterparts with his display of toughness. He came out of the game for a few plays Sunday but returned [...]
