    8 months, 2 weeks ago

    After a weekend of cuts and transactions, head coach Mike Smith anticipated the questions he’d get from the media Monday afternoon after a brief practice.

    8 months, 4 weeks ago

    Forgive Peter Konz if he isn’t overly excited about his performance with the first-team offense Friday night. See, he sets high expectations for himself, and after his night against the Dolphins, he wasn’t exactly feeling too great. “It went all right,” Konz said after the game. “Forgive me if I don’t sound excited, because I [...]

    9 months ago

    Head coach Mike Smith announced at the start of his press huddle after practice Monday that veteran left tackle Will Svitek will be out for the year with what Smith called an arm injury.

  • Julio Jones Finding Comfort By Slowing Down

    9 months ago

    Last year was a whirlwind for Julio Jones.

    9 months, 2 weeks ago

    With the Falcons set to start the 2012 preseason slate against the Baltimore Ravens at the Georgia Dome tonight, we take a look at what could be the four key matchups in the exhibition game, including the important experience rookie guard/center Peter Konz could get should he find himself faced with guarding against Pro Bowl [...]

  • Antone Smith a Darkhorse for Return Responsibilities?

    9 months, 3 weeks ago

    Running back Antone Smith laughs when he thinks back on all his punt and kick return experience. Probably because there isn’t much of it.
