Probably the biggest of these deals involved NASL side Atlanta Silverbacks and 3-time reigning USOC champions Seattle Sounders. In the aftermath of the deal, I decided to talk to Matt Stigall of ATL Wants MLS to get a feel from a fan’s perspective on...

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has been up to his old Twitter antics again. This time he’s taking aim at former NFL players who are suing the league. Roddy is apparently upset and feels like these former players are “killing our game” by taking legal action against the league. As with anything there are two sides to any given argument.

Atlanta Falcons: Super Bowl XLVII Contenders
If nothing else, 2011 brought a massive power shift in the NFC. Just last offseason, the Saints were sure-fire favorites… and the San Francisco 49ers? Come on.
Now the NFC, with exception given to those 49ers, is full of question marks. Many even question the New York Giants' (reigning Super Bowl champion) chances come next fall.

Who Takes the Falcons 4th Wide Receiver Spot: A Look at Cody Pearcy and James Rodgers
Under the old Mike Mularkey offensive regime, the fourth wide receiver was about as integral as a backup long snapper. You may hear someone say their name, but without an injury, you were rarely going to see them on the field or make a play.
From a snap perspective, I believe Eric Weems was our fourth wide receiver, amassing 11 receptions with very few snaps. There simply was...

Falcons’ Mike Smith long overdue to unleash Matt Ryan, passing game
First came the decision to trade five selections in order to move up in the 2011 NFL Draft for receiver Julio Jones.

Atlanta Falcons: Cakewalk in 2012
In the first six weeks of the 2012 regular season, the Atlanta Falcons will play three road games against Kansas City, San Diego and Washington, and three home games against Oakland, Denver and Carolina.
