Roddy White wins PFWA’s ‘Good Guy’ Award

  Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White talks to the media whether if it's about Michael Vick or Victor Cruz he's always helpful. Curtis Compton ccompton@ajc.com FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons wide receiver Roddy White was voted the team’s Good Guy Award winner by the local chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America for the 2011 season.  It was a close vote between...

Free Agent Focus: Running Back

Jacquizz Rodgers I’ve already discussed that I believe the Falcons should be parting ways with Michael Turner this off-season. And if that were to happen, then it would leave a pretty large hole atop the team’s depth chart at the running back. One hope would be that Jacquizz Rodgers can fill that hole or at least a large part of it. Rodgers was underutilized by the Falcons...

Falcons made another chance on coaching staff

The Atlanta Falcons have made another change on their coaching staff, firing defensive backs assistant Alvin Reynolds. The announcement Monday continues the shakeup that began after the Falcons were blown out by the New York Giants in the opening round of the playoffs. Reynolds had been with the team since head coach Mike Smith was hired in 2008. The Falcons lost Smith's top...

State of The Franchise – The Quarterbacks

This is the 2nd post in the State of The Franchise that will run over the next few weeks. I reviewed the Falcons corners a week or so ago, in light of the news that Brent Grimes could be deemed expendable by the organisation. Today is the turn of the QB position. Obviously this conversion begins by discussing current starter Matt Ryan. Despite having a lot of regular season success...

Falcons Free Agents to Re-sign

Give Your List of Must-Keeps Not Even a Debate on Lofton (AP) As the Atlanta Falcons approach the 2012 off-season, one of the most interesting points to follow is how much the Birds roster, which has been extremely stable the last four year, will change. Those very few changes made a lot of sense when the Falcons were believed to be “right on the cusp of greatness.” But...

Fullbacking Future

Is Ovie done in Atlanta? To be honest, when I wrote up the free agent focus article on the running back position, I completely ignored the fullback position. It was an error on my part because it’s a position that is often overlooked, but in the case of the Falcons it certainly will be worth watching this off-season. New offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter by many accounts prefers...

Playoffs: For Falcons, Getting There is Half the Problem

The Atlanta Falcons are not a team with a rich playoffhistory. As a matter of fact, up until this year the team had never made theplayoffs in consecutive years but in past seasons when the Falcons did make theplayoffs they usually made it count. That didn’t occur very often though. The Falcons have onlybeen to the playoffs eight times since the strike-shortened season of 1982 andthree...

DB coach Reynolds won’t be back in 2012

The team announced that secondary coach Alvin Reynolds won’t return to the Falcons in 2012, joining former offensive line coach Paul Boudreau as another assistant that the Falcons opted not to renew their contracts with the team. Reynolds came over to the Falcons with Mike Smith in 2008 after several years as the defensive backs coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Falcons...

NFL coaching vacancies filled with repeats

Rookie head coaches weren’t en vogue for openings that have already been filled this year. Plus, Gregg Williams may have chosen the less profitable coaching move, the Falcons could face some interesting decisions with Michael Turner and a former NFL defensive end has tutored numerous defensive linemen participating in the conference championship games on Sunday.

SENIOR BOWL: UGA’s Boykin has strong first practice

Orlando Ledbetter/Dledbetter@ajc.com) FAIRHOPE, Ala – Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin had a strong first practice for the South team. He drew praise for Redskins defensive back coach Raheem Morris after breaking up one pass. “Nice job Boykin, way to get down hill,” Morris said. Boykin has interviewed...
