Will Svitek will remain as the Falcons starter at left tackle. Coach Mike Smith made the depth-chart change official Wednesday. Svitek took over at left tackle when Sam Baker, who started the seasons first six games, missed four games with a back injury. Baker was activated for Sundays game against the Vikings, but played only on special teams. Smith said the decision was made because Baker is still not 100 percent recovered from back surgery performed during the Falcons bye week in late October.

Atlanta Falcons DE Ray Edwards recently revealed his desire to start a modeling career. I’m assuming that’s the desire of his girlfriend LaStarya too. All the info on her mentions she’s an ex-stripper. So I assume being an urban model was/is in the mix as well. The couple did a photo shoot a few months ago for Urban ink magazine and someone decided to turn one of those photos...

On Sunday, the Falcons played an undermanned Minnesota Vikings team, and performed admirably against them. It was a win, and a solid one at that, but the final score barely begins to tell the story of this game.The Falcons have a bad tendancy to getting off to a hot start, the offense fizzles, and inferior teams are let back into the game when they have no business being there. The...

Not that the Atlanta Falcons are the best team that the Texans have had to play this year, just that the Texans are entering new territory behind the leadership of rookie QB T.J. Yates. The Texans have played beaten up and battered for most of the 2011 season but this game will prove to be a monumental...
