  • Pires: As a Leader and LB, Spoon Really ‘Gets It’

    10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Linebackers coach Glenn Pires has already seen a lot of positive leadership from third-year linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, and that, combined with his speed, explosiveness and ability to pick things up right away make him one player to keep an eye on heading into the 2012 season. Jay Adams: Let’s start out with Sean Weatherspoon. He’s [...]

    10 months, 3 weeks ago

    If there’s one area that has stolen the show during the offseason, it’s the defensive back positions. From Brent Grimes’ franchise tag to trading for Asante Samuel, the secondary has been addressed, from a personnel standpoint, more than any other area on the Falcons’ roster this offseason.
