  • Mike Johnson Up to Task of Creating Versatility

    8 months, 4 weeks ago

    The news that backup tackle Will Svitek would be out for the season that came earlier this week was tough to take for a lot of reasons. For a close-knit group at offensive line, it was downright devastating. The off-field emotions of feeling for a teammate have been difficult to come to terms with, but [...]

    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. The injury occurred during Sunday’s practice and Smith said he learned today that it was enough to keep him out for [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • John Parker Wilson Keeping Cool During Crucial Camp

    9 months ago

    It’s the most important time in the most important year for John Parker Wilson. The veteran backup quarterback may have a lot of weight on his shoulders, but the Alabama product isn’t stressing out. He’s rolling with the punches and making the most of every opportunity he gets. The preseason is his proving ground as [...]

  • Coming Off Big Game, Robert James Looks for More

    9 months, 1 week ago

    Linebacker Robert James takes a big breath when he thinks about the possibility of more playing time. With an injury to starting middle linebacker Akeem Dent that will keep him from Thursday’s game against Cincinnati, fortunately, James won’t have to worry about picking up the slack since the two play different positions, but if he [...]
