    9 months, 1 week 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 [...]

  • QB Dominique Davis Has Something to Prove

    9 months, 1 week ago

    When the odds are added up, it should be no surprise that Dominique Davis has been going through camp with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

  • 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.

    9 months, 3 weeks ago

    For linebacker Stephen Nicholas, Wednesday couldn’t come fast enough. But all the Falcons trickling into the team’s headquarters in Flowery Branch, reporting for 2012 Russell Athletic Training Camp, felt the same way. They’re just ready to hit the field. Nicholas, in particular, had to watch from the sidelines throughout OTAs and minicamp as an injury [...]
