Falcons safety William Moore will miss his fourth straight game with a hamstring injury on Sunday, perhaps putting into question whether he will be ready for the teams playoff game in two weeks. Moore has a history with hamstring injuries, as he suffered two during his rookie season of 2009 that, along with a knee injury, limited him to two games that year. On Oct. 28 of that year...

The 13-time Pro Bowl tight end remains 95 percent certain he will walk away from football after the season, though everything still hinges on whether the Atlanta Falcons advance deep into postseason as a No. 1 playoff seed. At 36, Gonzalez continues to make enough big plays that he was...

Gonzalez still considering retirement

Via AP on Fox  |  December 27, 2012
Tony Gonzalez is still 95 percent sure he will retire at the end of the season. Just don't try to pigeonhole the 13-time Pro Bowl tight end into giving more information about his future, no matter how many light years away. ''I see what you're trying to do,'' Gonzalez said with a smile Thursday. ''Jedi mind trick.'' Gonzalez and the Atlanta...

The Bucs were hoping to bounce back against St. Louis last week following a blowout loss to the Saints the previous week. Unfortunately that did not happen and Josh Freeman had another bad game. Facing lots of scrutiny in his young career, he and the team are hoping to end the season on a high note at Atlanta. However, the Bucs may not see Atlanta’s best team on the field as they...

Anatomy of a Play: Roddy White's 44 Yard TD Reception

Via Grits Blitz  |  December 26, 2012
Let's take a look back at the play that resulted in a Matt Ryan 44 yard TD pass to Roddy White against the Lions this past week. The Falcons started out by lining up in 22 personnel with 2 TEs, 2 backs, and 1 WR out wide (White).  The Lions come out in a cover one scheme which means they’ll have one deep safety and everyone else will be playing man. Originally Atlanta stacks...

Fantasy Football: Week 17 Injury Update (T-Rich/Gronk/MJD)

Via FF Locker Room  |  December 29, 2012
Roddy White: Are you crazy? I don’t care if he doesn’t practice all week or is reported to have a hard cast around his knee. He’s clearly going to play, if the last two weeks are any indication, and you have to treat this like we treated Calvin Johnson’s knee injury: they’re resting him so he’s ready to go come Sunday. However, there is one very LARGE caveat to the...
