  • Rookie TE LaMark Brown Has Redeeming Performance

    9 months, 1 week 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 [...]

    9 months, 1 week 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.

    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.

    Wide receiver Roddy White is about as good a teammate as there is in the NFL.
