  • Michael Turner Continues to Show Receiving Skills

    8 months, 3 weeks ago

    Get used to watching Michael Turner doing his best Roddy White impression. It certainly seems like his pass-catching abilities — perhaps the best kept secret in the NFL — are going to be on display more and more. Through two quarters Friday night, Turner has caught three passes for 36 yards. While it may not [...]

  • Dominique Davis Shows Bright Potential vs. Bengals

    9 months ago

    Dominique Davis’ brother once told him that he can’t focus on other people’s success. He has to instead focus on his own first. That’s the mentality he’s taken into a quarterback battle that has quickly and interestingly heated up in the first two preseason games, and it seems to be paying off for the undrafted [...]

  • Rookie TE LaMark Brown Has Redeeming Performance

    9 months ago

    The big lights of the NFL can be blinding, especially for an undrafted rookie. So when he had the chance to make a play last week and instead had a pass go off his fingertips and into the hands of a defender for an interception, rookie TE LaMark Brown knew that he had to find [...]

  • Michael Turner Shows Up in Passing Game

    9 months ago

    When did you ever think running back Michael Turner would have more yards receiving than rushing? Well, it’s happened. Turner got involved in the passing game quite a bit — well, at least by his standards — during Thursday’s preseason game against the Bengals at the Georgia Dome. Turner caught three passes for 14 yards [...]

  • Defensive Focus Shows in First Quarter

    9 months ago

    If you had the chance to visit Russell Athletic Atlanta Falcons Training Camp this year, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. If not, allow me to proceed. The Falcons, under defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, have put a premium on causing and recovering turnovers. So much so, in fact, that the defense is instructed to [...]

  • Julio Jones, AJ Green Provide Tough Tests for Tonight’s Defenses

    9 months ago

    The starters will be on a snap count tonight, as head coach Mike Smith said earlier this week, but until they reach that number, there are some interesting matchups that will occur and could provide a test for both teams. The Falcons will have to handle Bengals wide receiver AJ Green while Cincinnati will be [...]

  • Smith: Dent Ruled Out for Thursday; Douglas to Play

    9 months ago

    Head coach Mike Smith said Monday that linebacker Akeem Dent, who suffered a concussion during last week’s game against Baltimore, will not play against the Cincinnati Bengals this Thursday, but added that the second-year player is feeling much better. Wide receiver Harry Douglas, who sat out of last week’s game due to an injury from [...]

  • Falcons Rookies Have Mettle Tested in Loss

    9 months, 1 week ago

    Any expert, coach and veteran player will say that preseason results are meaningless. For rookies, however, the losses sting just as much as they would if they counted. After Thursday night’s loss, it was unanimous amongst the Falcons’ youth: They can’t make the mistakes they made against the Ravens. “This was a lot of guys’ [...]

  • Travian Robertson Gets Lengthy First Taste of NFL

    9 months, 1 week ago

    After Thursday night’s 31-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Falcons’ first preseason game of 2012, rookie defensive tackle Travian Robertson looked as if the weight of the game was still on his shoulders. Obviously disappointed by the loss, Robertson might as well have thrown a game-ending interception or fumbled at the goal line. [...]

  • Matt Ryan Shines During Limited Time Against Ravens

    9 months, 1 week ago

    Quarterback Matt Ryan may have only been in the Falcons’ first preseason game for a short time, but everything about his presence Thursday night spells exciting things for the future of the first-team offense when he’s in control. Ryan played just more than a quarter and finished 9-of-13 for 155 yards and a touchdown with [...]
